Obama campaign manager David Plouffe accused the Clinton campaign Monday of "shameful offensive fear-mongering" by circulating a photo as an attempted smear.
Plouffe was reacting to a banner headline on the Drudge Report saying that aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) had e-mailed a photo calling attention to the African roots of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
"The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat front-runner dressed as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya," the Drudge Report said. The photo created huge buzz in political circles and immediately became known as "the 'dressed' photo," reflecting the Drudge terminology.
Plouffe said in a statement: “On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election. This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," said Plouffe.

If she is fear-mongering, then why did Obama jump to say he was not Muslim when those accusations surfaced?
It won't!
She can't get it through her head that the only way she can beat Obama is by appealing to the Democratic base is getting on his Left, which is impossible to do.
Last time I saw her, she was in the front row of an Obama concert.
LOL.
Yeah!!! I wanna know that too!!
It won't hurt him with the Democrats, who are unconcerned about such things.
It might hurt him in the General election, which is why Democrat leaders have to be very worried about the Clintons staying in the race.
That must be the traditional Gay Garb he’s just showing respect for.
Wouldn’t it be nice if some Third World leader would dress up in an American business suit for a photo-op?
The funny thing is that if it was a Republican who sent this kind of picture out, immediately from coast to coast and in every rag in between, Liberals would be out in force yelling - RACISM.
They would make McCain or whoever Republican nominee is, go on Prime Time and go Live to issue apology for such RACIST smear.
However, when Hillary does it, not one accusatio of Racism.
Thank you!
Love your addendum to the headline. Quite funny!
It’s “swift-boating” — telling the unpleasant truth about the liberal candidate.
“Obama slams smear photo”
sounds like someone needs his diaper changed
Oh my! LOL funny!
Barack Obama all dressed up as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya, a report from Matt Drudge indicates.
