Barack Obama’s campaign is expressing outrage at a new photo attributed to Clinton campaign sources that depicts the Democratic presidential candidate dressed in Somali garb.

The picture, which appeared at the top of Monday’s Drudge Report, says Clinton staffers circulated the 2006 photo over the weekend. It shows the Illinois senator fitted as a Somali elder, during his visit to northeastern Kenya that was part of a five-country tour of Africa.

“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,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said.

“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,” Plouffe continued.

According to Drudge, the unnamed Clinton campaign staffer said: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC,” short-hand for the candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Shown the photo by reporters, Bill Clinton’s press secretary said the candidate’s spouse will not have any reaction.

And then this, the crotch-salute, not wearing the flag, plus his baloney which is smacked down in this video, I don’t care to see him surivive politically for this election.

You got that right! He has been protected by his guardian angels the MSM. I don't care who released the picture as long as it is real. Let Americans see this guy for who he really is.

She is right to expose the muslib.

the unnamed Clinton campaign staffer said: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC,”

Most of the MSM have been rolling over for Clinton. Russert/NBC is about the only TV that even gave Clinton a difficult question -- and that was the driver's license one. And it wouldn't have been a mess, if she hadn't tried to answer it both ways, on stage, live, during the debate. That would have been difficult for the MSM to ignore.

Some print journalists have been rather critical of Clinton, but for the most part, most of the liberal media have given her a free pass.

After all, she was vetted when she did her book tour, ya know. [/s]

You ought to send that Hillary photo to Drudge . . .

Unless Matt has been bought an paid for by the Clintons -- he will post it. We all know the answer to that. 'Nuff said.

As Popeye says...

Salami, Salami,...Baloney

[mewzilla]

I'd've used this....

Obama aide wants talks with terrorists Foreign adviser's 'anti-Israel policies'

But I'll bet Hillie doesn't wanna go there...

“oh my God, proof in this pic that you can wrap a towell around Chelsea’s face and the ugly still seeps thru”

That’s actually why Democrat women support the muslims in the current war -—

you see, they tried pushing easy abortions as a way of getting some sex -— and that STILL didn’t work

So they’ve pinned their hopes on the full-body hijab.

[ArmstedFragg]

You ain't seen nothing yet, David.

Yep. Wait'll next weekend.

[advertising guy]

a turd by any other name still came from a rear end

[jennyjenny]

So, Obama is ashamed of himself?

[Don Carlos]

That’s Obama? Wow! I thought it was Aunt Jemima when she was younger!

[Orange1998]

Let Americans see this guy for who he really is before its to late.

Fixed it for ya.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I’ve been saying that Hillary has political “nukes” she’s going to set off..this may, or may not, be one of them..but you better believe she has more in her arsenal..she ain’t done yet, and she will be, WILL BE, the nominee if it requires destroying everything around her..IMHO..

NEVER count the klintons out..

Obama is too racist for America. America has many races, and Africa is not the elect. Goodbye, Obama

[omega4179]

Dukakis served in korea after the fighting too. It seems each generation of dems is more wussified and dhimmified.

[manc]

exactly what I have been telling people though many seem not to interested in his racist church, his muslim upbringing, his dedication to africa and his refusal to wear an American pin or put his hand on his heart

all those thiings to me is clearly a man who has been groomed to get power and destroy America

Even his wife has admitted that she wasn;t proud of her country until basically her husband might get into power

Obama is clearly a threat to this country and I bet every muslim around the world is waiting for his position in the white house

Edit
just been told that one of the first things he would do is to hold a islamic conference with America involved

[Non-Sequitur]

I’m guessing that when all this is over, Obama and Clinton won’t be sending each other Christmas Cards any time soon.

[Stoat]

LMAO!!! I hadn’t seen that one before :-)

[manc]

exactly

nothing racist about that pivture though it is Obama who is a racist just look at the church he goes to and the preacher is had said he admires

black this black that, his heart is with africa not wearing an American pin not having his heart on the heart etc et

as for the MSM they should be disgusted how they have risen the man and how they have cheerlead for him

[wardaddy]

unfortunately shite happens:
