Hillary and the photo attack on Obama

Well folks, it was bound to happen. We are a week out from what could be the death of Hillary Clinton’s chance to win the nomination. It should be no surprise an attack on Obama circulated this weekend.

Matt Drudge of the well known website The Drudge Report posted a photograph of Barack Obama dressed in a white turban and robe on Monday. He claims was sent e-mailed over the weekend from “Clinton staffers.”

The photo is from a trip the senator took to Kenya in 2006, where he was presented with the clothes from village elders.

In an interview with WOAI radio in San Antonio Barack defended the outfit.

"Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton or Bill Clinton that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," he said. "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad."

Of course Hillary Clinton claims she knows nothing about the photo…

Yeah, she knows nothing about it…right. Just like she didn’t know where those Rose Law Firm billing records were, or who hired Craig Livingston, had no idea her husband was planning to pardon some Puerto Rican thugs to help her election chances in New York, and the whole Monica Lewinsky thing was dreamed up by the “vast right winged conspiracy.”

Now Obama is correct in his defense. Politicians frequently were attire according to the culture when abroad. When in Rome do as the Romans do. I am sure if we looked hard enough we could find all kinds of photos of Hillary in strange outfits. So why would she leak a photo? What is the deal?

Simple…The Clinton camp knew this was a clever way to play the Muslim and race card unnoticed. Obama is not your typical white politician dressing up in African robes, he is a black politician dressed up as an African leader. She also knows Obama wearing a turban makes him appear to be Muslim!

This is a sleazy cheap shot from a despicable woman that will do anything to get elected.
