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.

If she wants to make it over into a socialist nation then she HATES America. Otherwise, why would you want the citizens of your coutry to live under such a God awful REGIME?

She and her campaign are beyond pathetic.

True. She has real scumbags working for her like Wolfson and Ickes. But, never forget, negative campaining does work. It sunk John McCain in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. A picture like this will not bode well for Osama-Obama in Texas on March 4.

Well,he may also be a homosexual and a tax cheater too so I concede the POSSIBILITY he could be a Muslim too.
So please find a picture of him at a mosque or quoting from The Koran to enhance the crediblity of the Muslim charge.

The Clintons are such racists in my opinion. Did Clinton have any high level black except at a traditional post HUD-no. Pres. Bush is a decent man and does not have a racist bone in his body. The Clinton’s on the other had have a plantation mentality. I will do for you black man or black woman because you are too helpless and pathetic to do it for yourself. Of course desperate Hillary will play the race card. One should not expect anything else.

Interesting article.

Since Obama proclaims to be 100% Christian he should be able to produce something of his Baptism.

The White Left has always had a racist slant.We white radicals know whats best for Y’all.In fact,we will lead your struggle.We all know whats good for you Negroes.
Its the kind of attitude that got the patronizing Clinton types kicked out of SNCC in 1966 and began the Black Power phase.The Carmichaels and Rap Browns of the time were sick and tired of these phonies from rich families running roughshod over”their”movement.
They may have been wrong about a lot of things but the black militants were right about THAT.

The ignorance and personality challenges in the Clinton campaign AND in some of my fellow FReepers is astounding.

President Bush is not Saudi.

Senator Obama is not Somali.

I can't read any more of this garbage from my fellow Freepers.

If the photo is genuine, what the devil does the HRC camp have to apologize for? Are Obama’s folks implying there’s something WRONG with wearing African garb?

"So please find a picture of him at a mosque or quoting from The Koran to enhance the crediblity of the Muslim charge."

Why, you would dismiss those too. He dressed in full Muslim garb in Somalia, where we had US troops slaughtered by terrorists in the past. He will not put his hand over his heart to pledge allegiance to our flag and he will not wear a U.S. flag pin on his lapel. He willingly wore this garb. No one made him do it. Why is his campaign trying to hide the fact he wore it? It is not a smear. A smear is saying something or using a prop that is not true. This photo is true and Obama posed for the picture.

It would be nice if we could focus solely on the issues at hand. However, Obama has the media in his hip-pocket and brainwashed followers, many of whom would love to see this country plunged into Socialist Hell.
If you were to poll the vast majority of Americans in this country, many could not even tell you his middle name. Most would not know of the hate-filled, racist church he belongs to, nor of said church’s affiliation with many anti-American extremists.
The media have gone out of their way to hide many of the “facts” about Obama, so I personally offer no apology on behalf of myself or fellow Freepers for getting excited when I see pictures like this, as UNFORTUNATELY, some people have to HAVE A PICTURE DRAWN FOR THEM before they will “connect the dots” for fear of being labeled as “politically incorrect”, or to bolster their own sense of self importance (it is indeed important for many to feel “above the fray”).
If it takes pictures such as these to save my beloved country from this Socialist snakeoil salesman, whos is indeed possibly a stealth muslim, then SO BE IT....

Look deeper.Like someone else said,Bush wore Arab garb when he was in Saudi Arabia and Hillary had a Muslim headscarf on in another picture.
This whole fiasco is nothing more than a Clinton disinformation campaign.My big criticism of Obama is identical to my beef with Hillary-he is proposing programs that there is no way to pay for except with huge tax hikes.True voodoo economics.
The Muslim nonsense is just a cheap shot.

I agree. I come to FR for Facts, but many seem to be buying into wild theories w/o any substantive proof to back them up. And when challenged, they call you an Obama supporter.

Bingo. NOTHING that comes out ofb the Clinton campaign can be viewed as truthful in any sense of the word. It seems that Baghdad Bob is running things there.

I’m sure many people disagreeing with this are sincere in their disagreement. Many of those are some of the greatest patriots this country will ever know.
Having said that, I’m sure there are a few who will find this sort of “neanderthal” reasoning by their fellow Freepers as an excuse to “break on through to the other side” as it were....

Thats my point too.
All the people in here bashing Obama for trifling nonsense don’t seem to understand that if Hillary is the nominee she will increase the level of smear tactics to roll over Mc Cain,a man with a few real flaws of his own.
Obama is more of a Leftist idealogue and at least will fight Mc Cain upon the battlefield of ideas.Thats where a Republican,even a RINO like Mc Cain,will fare much better against a tax and spend Democrat like Obama.
Call me naive,but I don’t think the Obama campaign will sink into the mud like the Clintons do.With Hillary and Bill,the sky is the limit.
