Barack Obamas 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 Mondays 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 weve 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 its 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: Wouldnt 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 Clintons press secretary said the candidates spouse will not have any reaction.

I am sorry,but give me Hillary any day. At least she is respectful to our flag.
I thin the difference is that she wears it to be a visitor he wears it because he be,lieves in it , he is the one who went to a madrassa and it was he who had a radical muslim father and grand father so much radical that he and his family moved to indonisia
BTW, this may show the wisdom of Fred Thompson’s “no funny hat” rule. :-)
What does it mean “released by the Clinton campaign”? Surely they weren’t with him in Somalia, so they didn’t take the picture and hold it until now. The picture must be from some public record.
So at best, the Clinton campaign USED it in some press release.
“It was excellent strategy to release that picture. Hopefully, they have more similar to that one.”
They should put it side-by-side with the photo of him not saluting the flag during the National Anthem.
Of course it will never sway his hard core supporters. They don’t care about America anyway.
It might however give those who are true patriots, yet simple, a wake-up call.
He looks right at home in that fez.
Nah!
He’s just getting dressed up as “Sambo”, so’s he can chase that tiger around a tree!
what I have been saying for ages
you know what you would get with clinton even though I don’t want her but this barack hussein obama scares me
if I was more suspicious I would have thought that the man has been groomed for the presidency and is getting into the most powerful position in the world to ruin us
I even saw one person onhere believe it or not saying they don’;t have a preoblem with him being raised a muslim, him going to a madrassa, him his father and his grandfather so radical that they moved to Indonisia etc etc
barack hussein obama scares me to hell
This is the central point: though there is little doubt that Senator Obama attended a nominally Christian church (the term used in its loosest sense) there is, as far as I know, no record of him having gone through a baptism, confirmation or other rite of acceptance into the church.
If he did not, or if that "church" does not have such a procedure or ritual, then Obama has never formally renounced the Muslim faith and forsworn the shahada.
When I was a kid, the church I attended used to put on a seder meal to celebrate Passover as part of their Passion Week events. One of the few Jewish families who lived in our small town used to be the church's guests of honor at these and lead the seder. Absent any proof to the contrary, Senator Obama has no more stopped being a Muslim for attending some services at a "Christian" church than that family stopped being Jewish for attending those seders.
I’ve been shouting for ages about that
why just why hasn’t clinton gone after him for his racist church, hiim not saluting the flag nor will he wear an American pin, even his wife has said she is not proud or wasn’t until her husband might get into power
we still don’t know if he is a muslim, that church he goes to is not along the lines of a christian church but of a place where black racist go and talk about Africa and how the white man is bad
clinton should have been doing all this a long time ago
obama might have many dems, loads of young students(who are short of common sense anyway) maybe might have some republicans fooled but no way is this person here fooled into thinking of wanting him to win
The man hates this country, won’t pleadge his love for this country but to africa and was a muslim not too long ago
though I suspect he still is
Ya know, if Barack ‘Pol Pot 2.0’ Obama wins the nomination, I really don’t see Hillary being his veep. Certainly not after this.
Wow — Hillary is really getting desperate. Trotting out a photo of a politician dressing up in local garb in a customary gesture of respect as if it had some eeeeevil significance is plumbing new depths of absurdity even for the Clintons.
I still believe he is still a muslim and thaty church he goes to is hardly a christian one
it’s just a place where black racists go and put down the white man and this country, they all pledge their love and hearts to africa and not to America as they believe this country is bad
OH yes he wants change, to bring in and open the borders to african muslims, so they get more of a stronghold in politics as they know they can’t win military wise
she should have used this and the photos of obama not saluting the flag also the racist anti white anti american place he goes to
I hope some people realise that this is not just about wearing a traditional dress but more to the point his upbringing as a muslim, his never saying he is not a muslim, his wanting to have an islamic conference straight away with America and all islamic nations including Iran
good for clinton I hope some wake up and see the danger of voting for this man
Have you seen this ?
