CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA Mon Feb 25 2008 06:51:00 ET
With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama.
The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.
The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.
"Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.
In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quickly accused the Clinton campaign Monday of 'shameful offensive fear-mongering' for circulating the snap.
Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams responds: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Other leaders have worn local costumes:
Update!
cnn.com now reporting.
msnbc.com keeping quiet.
Update!
msnbc.com ignore Drudge Report and instead headline with following:
Farrakhan hails Obama as ‘hope of entire world’
Hmm, perhaps msnbc.com hosting the Democratic debate on Feb 26, has a hidden agenda?
Clinton’s crew gets lower and lower all the time.
My guess is MSNBC is last if they report at all.
“Deutscheland, Deutscheland Obama alles...”
Agree.....this is only a sign of desperation from Clinton.
Hey Hill, pay Penn and Wolfson another million for such brilliant ideas!
LOL!
I looked up articles about his Grandma and Uncle in Kenya, they live in a one-room shack-like house with no running water. Doesn’t this God-Made-Flesh take care of his own Grandmother? As far as I know she’s the only grandparent he has, and look how she lives!!!! Campaign issue alert.
Turbans are not traditional African garb.
Pass the popcorn bump!
“That doesn’t make him bad but it does effect his loyalties and view. He sees himself a world citizen and not an American.”
This is the most troubling aspect of all liberal elitists, including the leftist media. This is why Kerry was defeated in ‘04 and why Obama (or Hillary) must be defeated in ‘08.
I just heard that and he’ll be in the dog house with the MSM this week.
Obama wears a turbin and preaches marx and his wife hates the USA.
Clinton wears manly pantsuits and has a girlfriend.
and the democrats think the republicans are weird.
The area of Kenya he visited is very close to Somalia.
Wheee...go Hillary!
of course it was from hillary. It only gets nastier and uglier in a trench war
forward to hillary? where do you think that came from in the first place?
