The elders, steaming over the Obama photo smear on the other side of the world, announced plans to convene a traditional tribal court to deal with the matter.
The court could require Clinton to pay a fine in livestock, which is of great value in the far-flung Wazir region of Kenya. The photos were taken there during a visit by Obama, whose father was born in the area.
"We will go ahead with this case whether Sen. Clinton or Democratic Party leaders turn up or not," Mohamed Ibrahim, a member of the clan that hosted Obama during his 2006 trip to the country, told Reuters.
"This whole thing can be avoided only if an apology is made," he added.
But Clinton knows her cows - she recently suggested in Texas that Obama was "all hat and no cattle," and has made a mint investing in cattle futures in Arkansas.
The elders earlier this week called on Clinton to "clear her name" in the controversy.
The photos of Obama - wearing a turban and white tribal robes that are traditional in northern Kenya and Somalia - got worldwide attention after the Drudge Report posted them on the Web, along with a report that said the pics came from Clinton staffers.
Obama has battled a whisper campaign by those who wrongly say he is Muslim, and his aides accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fearmongering" after the photographs were published.

Chances are all but the first sentence in this post will be deleted anyway.
No problem. Hillary can pay them in cattle futures!
And just how do they expect to collect? You can charge any fee you want, the trick is to collect it.
And while you’re at it Hillary....iron my Dashiki!
this must be a textbook example of the “reductio-ad-absurdum” principal in the logic of political correctness.
The Kenyans need to get a grip. The photos were published in an African online news website. CAIR must be advising them.
Shades of Rumplestiltskin! Send her firstborn!
bwahahaha!
Maybe someone could send a picture of HRC dancing on the beach in a bathing suit instead. That would be tit for fat.
They can go to shrillery’s campaign headquarters and select from the liberal animal farm.
Right. Besides, these are the same morons who want to make sure no Muslim Kenyan can be tried in a foreign court.
A Republican candidate would be forced to confront this situation every time he spoke to reporters with video cameras present.
Let’s see how Hillary is made to deal with it.
How about a BLT sandwicth for their troubles.
I dont see where attacking the Kenyans with WMDs solves anything...
*snicker*
And a supply of KY jelly, no doubt.
Indeed. Or someone of the same mindset.
which is interesting, because I was just thinking about how one of obama's strategists must have come up with this idea in order to "turn the tables" on his opponents.
That would put CAIR on the same side of the table as Obama's campaign.
But it's a smear to call him a muslim or view a picture of him in a turban. And it's fearmongering to use his middle name.
After years of flirting, I think the American left has finally fully and completely gone off the deep end.
We may be in for tough times of the "Salem Witch Hunt" variety.
And all we said nobody wanted Code Pink. I guess we were wrong.
Get a hold of yourself man. That would be a picture of a cow with mad cow disease!
