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."
Developing...
EDITOR'S NOTE: Other leaders have worn local costumes:
Kerry windsurfing was a picture that hurt him badly. Rudy in drag was the picture which hurt him. Dukakis in a tank hurt him. This is a picture which needs to be put out and kept there in order for it to sink in.
Let me just say, this looks like one of those stupid things that politicians have to do when they travel overseas. It’s the old “Local Color” gag. It, almost certainly, has nothing to do with whether or not Barack Obama is or is not a Muslim.
(I realize that is a double either/or dodge, but I figured, given the sensitivity of the subject, it was best to double up)
Thank God it was not the “insensitive nasty dirty-tricks hate-monger” Republicans who did this.
When are these idiots going to learn that folks back home dont like seeing this stuff.
I really thought the kindergarten and 3rd grade essays would have done him in.
Hillary's only hope now is to release private reports that he obtained a secret decoder ring with xeroxed boxtops.< /s>
Someone needs to forward to the Hillary people the articles about the guy saying he did drugs and had homosexual sex with Obama. Let the liberals eat each other like two spiders in a jar.
Looks as though the Clintons are trying to “Swift-Bwana” Obama.
“this looks like one of those stupid things that politicians have to do when they travel overseas”
Correct BUT a photo is worth millions in adds especially when it shows Obamma Rammma Ding Dong looking like a mooselimb.
. . . but he has trouble wearing an American flag pin.
This one picture has the potential to destroy Obama.
Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe’s Jews to the gas chamber.
I just saw Hillary's mockery of Obama "the sky will open...". Man that is bad, no matter who wins this nomination that will be great fodder for us. She will lose the majority of support from Obama's side if she ends up with the nomination over those remarks. I really believe the McCain can really make some inroads into the black voting bloc if Hillary gets this nomination. I just saw a pastor of a black church in Texas leading his flock to the voting booth to early vote. They were all carrying Obama signs.
LOL!
This will have absolutely no effect on Obama voters...except to make them angry at Hillary. His voters are Blacks, white men who hate Hillary, and young voters who see right through tactics like this and swear they would never vote for her because of them.
She and Bill are of another time when their dirty tricks were not expected. Now everyone is wise to them. She will soon be just a bad memory.
Let’s see the picture of Bill Clinton with the AFRO WIG on!!
