Clinton's response to the day's Drudge
The Clinton campaign puts out a response from Maggie Williams, which doesn't respond to the question of whether a staffer was circulating the photo of Obama in Somali garb, but takes issue with the Obama campaign's embrace of the issue:
Enough.
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.
This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.
We will not be distracted.

What a sorry piece of shit excuse for a human being. Maggie Williams, herself an African American, plays the race and religion card in a transparent attempt to scare voters away from Obama...not because of his policies or any substantive issue, but because he dressed "differently" from Christians during a trip to Africa.
ROT IN HELL. Your ancestors, who may by good chance have come from the very region who's culture you are now using as a scare tactic, would be ashamed to know of your actions.
