A photo showing Barack Obama dressed in Somali garb is being circulated by campaign staffers working for Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to DrudgeReport.com.

FOX News is working to confirm the report.

The photo was taken in 2006 during a trip through Africa. Obama was dressed as a Somali elder during a visit to southwestern Kenya, said the Drudge Report, which said a Clinton staff member had provided the photo to the Web site.

so they drag each other down? what does that acomplish? I will take Obama over the evil clintins anyday of the week. I say clintin’s plural because we will be inundated with her ole man if she gets the White House. I dont know about you but I’ve had enough of these people and I don’t want to look at their faces for another 4 years.

Its been on the internet for at least two days now and they blame Clinton? I’m not buying it.

Why won’t Obama put his hand over his heart to pledge allegience to our flag during the national anthem?

Does he never do it, or did he just have a "head up his backside" moment where one picture was taken? I've only seen that one picture of him where he failed to do it and it was only one still instead of a video so I couldn't tell if he corrected his mistake a few seconds later.

I agree that his patriotism should be questioned, and questioned hard. A hand over the heart during the pledge is the least that can be expected of the POTUS. But I still see no evidence about him being a muslim.

[cubreporter]

Amen. She is all fake, phony, plastic, you name it.

[rolling_stone]

And does ANYONE here believe Bush is a Saudi?

Nah, he’s adopted Mexico as his “second” country.

[cubreporter]

I will do the same and I will be dancing all over my living room. The dog will be barking becuase she won’t know what is happening but...I will be basking in the joy of her defeat. This latest photo will seal it for her. When will she learn that hate, evil, nastiness, ugliness and dirty dirty tricks do not work. She mistakes the fact that because a lot of libs loved her ole man that they love her too. BIG MISTAKE hilleree.. She was jsut along for the ride and now the train has stopped! Time to get off!!

If this is all they have left to use against him, they are to be pitied, then tarred and feathered and run out on a rail.

Fear-mongering 101 for ignorant people. Of course anyone wearing robes is a terrorist....how pathetic! I’m more fearful of Hitlery’s pantsuit than his ethnic garments.

I will take Obama over the evil clintins anyday of the week.

I respectfully disagree with you Sir. IMO the butch-in-chief wannabe doesn't hate America. She just wants to be crowned queen, reign over it, and make it into a socialist nation. I believe osamo islamo obamo wants to destroy America.

He was asked about this yesterday or in the last couple days by a reporter following his campaign. His response was vague and stated many people at sporting events do not do it. However, those people are not running for POTUS to be our commander in chief and control our military during a time of war. His response is very telling.

“”This photo tells it all.””
“Tells what, exactly?”

For one thing it tell us that the KKKlintons have turned the RATS into the party of Willy Horton. Make no mistake, this photo is a willy Horton like smear job by the KKKlintons. They do not even deny sending the photo. Lets see if the RAT party chairman condemns this.

[aristotleman]

It’s not Obama that will ruin you. It’s China.

Why are you linking us to a web page that promotes racist ideas like this in the side-bar on the left side of the page?:

“People who mention differences in black vs. white IQ are these days almost universally howled down and subjected to the most extreme abuse. I am a psychometrician, however, so I feel obliged to defend the scientific truth of the matter: The average black adult has about the same IQ as an average white 11-year-old. The American Psychological Association is generally Left-leaning but it is the world’s most prestigious body of academic psychologists. And even they have had to concede that sort of gap (one SD) in black vs. white average IQ. 11-year olds can do a lot of things but they also have their limits and there are times when such limits need to be allowed for.” http://dissectleft.blogspot.com/

Why is it a smear? No one forced Obama to wear the garb. He did it on his own free will. Are you going to say next when he is called by his full name Barak HUSSEIN Obama, he is being smeared too?

[OKSooner]

" Excellent hit by the Clinton's. This photo tells it all. "

Yep. Gotta be fair about it.

I think he protesteth too much.

Re: IMO the butch-in-chief wannabe doesn’t hate America

Let’s just say you and I disagree.

[Red in Blue PA]

I agree with you 100%

[Red in Blue PA]

So if someone claimed Bush was in bed with terrorist regimes bc he wore Saudi garments while visiting there, THAT would not be a smear in your view?

I’m getting tired of people’s failure to recognize who Obama really is! I can’t stand Hillary and she is full of dirty tricks but the writing is on the wall when it comes to Obama. He refuses to place his hand over his heart during the pledge or national anthem, his dad was a Muslim who abandoned him yet he’s still searching for his African Heritage from his dad’s side, he wants to negotiate with our Islamic enemies, he went to a predominately Muslim school, he has never proclaimed Jesus Christ his “only” savior. His wife spit on the face of every true patriot because she can’t find anything right with America but yet Obama claims we took her out of contents. He is a Malcolm X act-a-like who’s only difference is he hasn’t fully come out yet. Mark my words, America is playing with fire the closer they get to electing Obama.
