Obama Kenya
A photo of Barack Obama donning traditional Muslim attire as a goodwill gesture during an overseas trip has sparked controversy.
The picture, which mysteriously surfaced yesterday, was attributed by The Drudge Report to sources within the campaign of Hillary Clinton.
The site did not reveal who might have released the photo, but it reeks of political fear-mongering. Here’s the picture in question…
Barack Obama donned the traditional Muslim garments during a trip to Kenya in 2006. Like many high-ranking U.S. visitors, he received such clothing as a gift.
Obama’s father is Kenyan, his mother from Kansas. The senator is Christian and has been a member of Chicago’s United Church of Christ for 20 years.
These facts did not stop some Clinton volunteers from circulating e-mails that falsely claimed Barack Obama is a Muslim late last year.
That bogus rumor (which he has worked hard to dispel) and the release of this picture are pathetic ploys to stoke the fears of ignorant Americans.
Hillary Clinton aides also suggested that his drug use as a young man might make him vulnerable to GOP attacks if he were the Democratic nominee.
She makes a point there. Thank goodness Bill Clinton didn’t inhale, otherwise he might have left himself vulnerable to GOP attacks. Phew!
How much more shameless and desperate can the former First Lady get? Stay tuned - the proverbial bar just keeps finding a way to go lower.

I love how she says “Isn’t this what the republicans would do?” .. YES IT IS .. her Rovian tactics will just get her more disdain and ridicule. I hope Texas & Ohio votes Obama. If she has till Pennsylvania to keep tearing the Democratic Party apart, McCain will be our next president. Thats probably what she wants so she can run again in 2012. She did NOTHING in ‘04 to help Kerry so she could run in ‘08. Looks like she is at it again. Disgusting
It all makes sense now….they have the same nose
What’s next, are we going to find our that Bill Oriely is related to Snoop Dog, that would be awesome!
Fair and Balanced? Where’s the suspension for this? Remember the pimp comment and lynching Tiger? This ranks right up there.
Damn, after that beef recall, Clinton may not have the funds to satisfy this debt.*crickets*
Who knows how many lives will be saved by such a simple gesture. It’s a shame that people are dying because of the social stigmas surrounding AIDS…
Barack Obama keeps my faith in politics as a tool for progressive social action. While I don’t agree with him on every issue, for example his opposition to marriage for same-sex couples, his compassion, political savvy and commitment are inspiring.
Am I the only one that thinks it’s funny because it’s true? I mean, yeah, rabble Faux News rabble. But the people watching that channel are the same people that believe the whole “He’s a Muslim” rumor and, even worse, would not vote for him if he was in fact a Muslim.I guess what I’m saying is that I’m less outraged by FNC calling him “halfrican” than I am totally surprised that they came up with something as clever as “halfrican”.
