Barack Obama In Traditional Kenyan Dress
THIS picture was sent to the Drudge Report. It shows Barack Obama wearing traditional African dress during a visit to Kenya in 2006.
The Obama camp says it was circulated by Hillary Clinton’s staff as a smear. Mrs Clinton’s team deny the accusation.
Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, accuses Clinton’s aides of “the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election”.
Says Clinton’s campaign manager Maggie Williams: “If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.”
The contest is now who can be the most offended, and take offence. It’s a competition to see which of Obama and Clinton can be the most insensitivite and outraged. It;s Big Brother does the White House.
And the media drools over the whole thing, shocked, appalled and above all titilated by it all…
