Reply #50: Don't blame the rapist, blame the victim?

Obama has done nothing wrong here.

Why shouldn't Obama be able to dress in ceremonial attire (just like everybody else) when he travels on behalf of the government? Because he's black? Because of his middle name?

It's not surprising to me that Republicans would run with this. I expect it of them. And they didn't need this photo to exploit his name or race.

What is surprising (and disappointing) to me are the reports that the Clinton campaign sent this story to Drudge, lamenting that it hadn't been covered enough. Such tactics are unacceptable from a Democratic campaign. I have been waiting for the Clinton campaign to vehemently deny their involvement or at least promise to get to the bottom of this. I would certainly take their word over Drudge's.

FYI, I'm still waiting.
