So, Obama wore a Turban and part of a traditional Muslim dress. - Big Deal!! Clinton released itt trying to appeal for some bigots in the populace. She will get some, no many, on-board the hate-train. I am sure that this picture will get a lot of airtime for the remainder of the campaign. Excerpts from an article on CNN.com about this issue:
(CNN) — Barack Obama’s campaign accused Hillary Clinton’s team Monday of circulating a photo of the Illinois senator donning traditional Somali attire – clothing worn by area Muslims – as a goodwill gesture during an overseas trip.
In a statement, the Clinton campaign called the charge “an obvious and transparent attempt to distract” voters from serious issues – but did not issue a denial.
The picture, which appeared on the Drudge Report this morning, was attributed to sources within the Clinton campaign – although the Web site did not reveal how many, or who, might have received the photo.
In a statement, Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, said Clinton’s campaign was engaged in “shameful, offensive fear-mongering,” though he did not point to any proof beyond the original item that appeared on Matt Drudge’s blog.
For any Republicrook trying to make this a big issue, please show the following picture of Laura Bush wearing a veil in Middle East.
