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:
“This is desperation, sheer desperation.”
You’re probably right but I suspect we’ll see more of this. B Hussein Obama has immediate family who are citizens of other countries. He spent a good portion of his childhood in other countries himself. That doesn’t make him bad but it does effect his loyalties and view. He sees himself a world citizen and not an American.
Just heard on the radio that Farakahn is endorsing Osama.
Big whoop. He is wearing the native dress while visiting Kenya. If this is the worst that can be done to him - he might as well start measuring for the new curtains in the Oval Office now.
That’s one really SCARY quote.
You mean, they won’t just remember “I was HONORED to be standing next to Barack Obama. HONORED to be breathing the very air that’s touched his sacred lungs. HONORED that some of his dust mites are jumping onto me, even as I speak. HONORED just to be able to say his name, to be in his presence, to have lived long enough to have heard his words of... of HOPE... of... The Future... of HOPE of The Future...of....of......” [faints]
Pass the popcorn?
I don’t think Obama can be held responsible for uninvited endorsements ... but I think Farakahn’s endorsement lends credence to the fear that there could be unrest if Obama loses in November.
We can only hope. Common sense would say that the RATS are in bigger trouble than we Republicans. Too bad we don’t have a real Republican as our candidate because either Hitlery or Osama should be easily beatable.
“Just heard on the radio that Farakahn is endorsing Osama.”
This is great news. Will be interesting to see if obama accepts endorsement.
By God, that’s the old Aunt Jemima look.
So what if he doesn’t? Farrakhan offered it.
Not just the people you mention. I have a woman friend who is very far left, white, middle-aged, affluent, in other words Hillary's natural constituency. Yet she hates Hillary because of the way she has conducted her campaign. If she can't hold people like my friend she is toast.
Wrong. The question in this general election is who Obama is loyal to. He was born a muslim, his father a Kenyan. He lived in Indonesia with his step father, a muslim. He became a Christian at age 28, joining a church to help him as a ‘community activist’. I question whether this is the best person to lead our military during a time of war against radical muslims. Considering that his views are 100% in alignment with the enemy at this time....US weakness, retreat, appeasement...it is undoubtedly an issue, and one that many Americans will consider heavily this fall.
