Obama and the 'outfit'
That Obama might put on local garb (over his khakis) during a trip to Africa, I offer this:

He is shown wearing the gear on top of his khakis and t-shirt, he looks like a tourist.

5. Any time a candidate or politician plays dress up it hurts him somewhere...
Get used to it. The GOP will use this. No doubt.

And remember Kerry dressed as a sperm? This is when we should have known Kerry wasn't serious about being Prez:





Oh and don't forget his windsurfing escapades.

7. That picture of Bush was funny...
...as are all pictures of our leaders dressed in garb like that.

However, the issue is--why are Hillary staffers acting like cackling hens from
some renegade sewing circle and disseminating these types of pictures of Obama?

It's no big deal that these photos exist. The big question is...why is the Hillary
campaign officially--as part of their strategy--releasing and disseminating these photos?

To what end?

Is this to impugn him? Make fun of him? Make him look bad?

I don't get why grown adults would engage in this type of behavior.

It would be the equivalent of the Obama campaign releasing--far and wide--that picture of
Hillary with a scarf on her head and snickering about it.

I mean, this is like something out of "Cruel Intentions" or something.

It's really bizarre.

8. It's worse than that.
It's taking the traditional garb of his father's country and turning it into a racial attack. What other implication is there than "Look he IS a MUSLIM" because he has a turban on his head. It's sickening.

10. She tried this in Iowa...and she got her ass kicked...
Hillary Clinton had to fire one of her Iowa Campaign Directors--after she was caught
disseminating "Obama is a Muslim" emails.

This email attack on Obama happened within 24 hours of Bob Kerrey endorsing Hillary
Clinton during an orchestrated press event--in which he called Obama "Barack Hussein
Obama."

Clearly, this was part of the Clinton strategy to take down Obama--by planting "He's
a radical Muslim" seeds in the minds of voters.

It's so scurrilous and slimy. It's "Cruel Intentions" meets "Mommy Dearest" meets
Karl Rove.

It didn't work in Iowa. Hillary got her ass kicked in Iowa.

It won't work on the national stage either, and it will be so satisfying to see her
cynical, crass behavior kicked to the curb on a grander scale---in Ohio AND Texas.
