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.

Agreed. It just makes her campaign seem petty.

Bingo. This pic is getting Obama votes. Billary cannot go after Obama on the issues because there is not a dimes bit of difference between them.

> Soon we can gut Obama on the issues, but I prefer Obama put the stake in the heart of Hillary the vampire once and for all.

But if he was trying to find his English heritage, you’d be ok with it?

Yeah! Works for me.

Did I give the impression that I was defending Hillary?

Didn’t mean to. Just saying that the picture does not look good for Obama. No one made him don the outfit and pose for the picture.

I know Hillary would lie, cheat, steal and do whatever mayhem necessary to win.

I just hope that McCain doesn’t have any serious skeletons in his closet because she’s going through his trash from 1962 right now.

I see it the way you do to a T, and just want to see Hillary escorted from the political scene once and for all.

IMO, she is dangerous to this country.

Was that the picture where he was helping an elderly saudi navigate the steps or some rocky terrain? That was a picture of compassion,not disgust.

I know, but did our side actually investsigate his birth certificate, or are we taking this word for it? Where and when did his parents meet? Do time-lines add up?

Remember, these are Democrats.

It is nothing new to Freepers that Clinton (him or her) will do anything and say anything to win the next election. It IS interesting that this torpedo that her Flying Monkeys let loose against Obama has circled around to hit her as a cheap shot.

Hillary IS being swiftboated, which means brought down by the simple truth getting out to the public. She likes dirty tricks. The voters don't like dirty tricks. Therefore, Hillary loses either Texas or Ohio, and, as they used to sign on Monday Night Football, "the party's over...."

I do NOT want to see either socialist Democrat elected; but I do have to say that Obama certainly seems like a whole lot nicer person than does Hillary. In fact, he just looks cute in that picture - so, once again, desperation breeds more problems for Hillary. Obama doesn’t look like a terrorist in that photo, he just looks, regrettably, . . cute, cooperative and nice.

The story here is not that Obama wore Kenyan garb. He wore Muslim Somali clothes on a trip to Kenya.

By the way, this area of Kenya, Wajir, is Muslim and has a growing Islamist problem. It has a history of armed conflict for secession from Kenya.

“That was a picture of compassion,not disgust.”

Who said anything about disgust? I was agreeing to the original poster. Pointing out that the Pres. wore traditional garb in a country he was visiting.
Take it easy...

It bothers me that Obama is supposedly a Christian, but doesn’t seem impelled to bring the gospel to his unsaved Black, muslim friends.

My apologies to you if I inferred you were pro-Hillary.I do see your point.
And I bet the Clintons are culling all sources right now for dirt against Mc Cain just as they are doing with Obama.
These folks have no scruples.

Who CARES if it’s a smear against Obama? We’re supposed to be defeating him. And you, my friend, do far far far too much defending of him.

She and her campaign are beyond pathetic.

You realize this same photo appeared in newspapers and the newsmagazines when it was taken in '06, right? Where was Obama's outrage then?

Turn me in then.

Is free speech still permissible here or is it not? That sounded like a veiled threat.

I see Hill as a thhreat much more than I do Obama, and as such I will excoriate her when appropriate. If you look at this as “defending” Obama, it is your right, but you come across as a fool.
