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."

On a rare occassion as today I went to the “dollar” store.

Guess who’s hardback book I saw on the rack for $1...John Kerry.

He says “I believe that there are many paths to the same place”.

You can ignore it, of course.

He says “I believe that there are many paths to the same place”. You can ignore it, of course.

There is but one path that leads to the Kingdom of God, which is by Jesus Christ. I know that. You know that.

Anyone who believes otherwise is mistaken.

The question is, do you think the Almighty should damn Obama to Hell if he is mistaken in believing the 'many paths' flawed doctrine, even if Obama believes in, and has placed his faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour?

A simple yes or no will suffice. Take all the time you like.

[Renegadewithacause]

I’m sorry but hasn’t President Bush visited and taken part in other countries ceremonies??Does that mean he is what ever religion he was taking part in???I’m sorry but that seems a little simple minded don’t you think?...and What do you think, the second he is elected that he is going to start passing laws to just uplift black people??? Come On Seriously??? You obviously do not give this man enough credit....

[mkjessup]

Careful there n00bie, I’m not disagreeing with you, but being your first day at all, I’m just sayin’...

Welcome to FR! ;)

[SunkenCiv]

He won’t have to, now. :’) I suspect the reason that the MSM hasn’t actually publicized the photos themselves is to shore up Obama’s campaign.

[Democrats hate too much]

When Obama responded Hillary said "he’s trying to change the subject." First off, when ever Hillary accuses someone of something weird that doesn’t make sense; she is trying to downplay something she might be doing... Well, two HUGE stories had posted on the Drudge Report earlier that day... Gennifer Flowers is planning on giving away her taped phone calls with Bill Clinton and their 12 year affair, and finally the most damaging story of all. Hillary used a false affidavit signed HERSELF against a 12 year old "rape" victim to win her first big case.

If Obama believes both things, one of them is wrong. You get to pick which one. You also get to take responsibility for spreading the message, as you have been doing.

[mkjessup]

I don’t have to ‘pick’ anything, you seem to be the one parsing each and every statement he has made.

Obama professes Christ as his Saviour and I accept his profession of faith. That does not equate into an endorsement of his political views.

You appear eager to call him a liar in this regard. If you’re going to do that, do it now and do it here so we know where you stand, no need to keep dancing around the question.

Are you calling Obama a liar about his faith in Jesus Christ?

Again, a simple yes or no (which you appear unable to provide) will do.

[donna]

It’s enough to identify false teachings. It would be good of you to do the same.

[mkjessup]

So you refuse to say whether or not you consider Obama a liar when he says that he believes in Jesus Christ as his Saviour.

Noted.

All I have done in my postings on this subject is to quote what he said in an interview with Christianity Today in their Jan 23 2008 issue. Nothing more and nothing less. I have stated that unless someone (you perhaps?) is willing to step up and prove that Obama is lying about his profession of faith, not just that he may be in error about one doctrinal issue or another, but actually proving that he has lied about who he has entrusted his soul to, that unless someone can prove such a lie, I will accept his statement as a believer in Christ as truth.

His beliefs and his political positions may not at all be in harmony, but again: that is between him and the Almighty.

I don't have to vote for Obama (and won't) in order to accept him as my Brother in Christ.

It would be 'good' of you to at least consider doing the same yourself.

Obama is the messiah. His face was found in a potato. check it out.

Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by, and, just for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence, and your role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair.

She’s from a family of racist people. Now She’s married to one, an raising one. She also belongs to a party that has had KKK party members as founders, Fought the Republican Party in the Civil War, Joined the party that resisted civil rights for people of color. But what can you say, some people don’t learn. So she goes on

[Brilliant]

Hillary is toast. You know that when the media refuses to do her dirty work for her.

[Global2010]

Hi back atcha.

I can see a thread coming up possibly in our future soon I hope. The Arizona Serial Killer needs to be found now.

And no way jose would I even spend a penny on a load of poop written by Kerry.

All those pics of his goofy gangly body from his POTUS run still gives me the creeps when someone puts up a reminder image.

[DooDahhhh]

I actually thought that this speech was one of her best. Reason being is that Obama does seem like a tent revival speaker. And her reference to “leap of faith” was priceless. Remember Steve Martin in that one where he was taking bets from his friends on fitting different words into his sermons and he said “Give up your Kenmore washer and dryer, and come to the Lord” . Or something like that.

[normy]

The fact its true makes no difference. Look at Huckabee supporters. The guy has lied openly, he has changed positions during his campaign, he makes stupid Jesse Jackson like remarks (I didn't raise taxes, I raised hope, stand for something or fall for anything, an Aaron Tippen song actually, and many more) but when he is attacked for his emptiness or ridiculousness or even his policies, the ardent supporters see that as a personal attack on a great and faithful man and maybe even an attack on Christianity itself.

The same probably goes for Obama supporters but to a greater level and to a wider array of people. Its obvious Obama is an empty suit whose speeches are just words without substance but don't tell his followers (not supporters).
