Obama Camp Furious at Photo Release
by FOXNews.com ^ | February 25, 2008 | FOX News

Posted on 02/25/2008 7:36:51 AM PST by Berlin_Freeper

Barack Obama’s campaign is expressing outrage at a new photo attributed to Clinton campaign sources that depicts the Democratic presidential candidate dressed in Somali garb.

The picture, which appeared at the top of Monday’s Drudge Report, says Clinton staffers circulated the 2006 photo over the weekend. It shows the Illinois senator fitted as a Somali elder, during his visit to northeastern Kenya that was part of a five-country tour of Africa.

“On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said.

“This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world,” Plouffe continued.

According to Drudge, the unnamed Clinton campaign staffer said: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC,” short-hand for the candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Shown the photo by reporters, Bill Clinton’s press secretary said the candidate’s spouse will not have any reaction.

Thank you. I still have confidence that Obama will be defeated when he is exposed, and the leftist media will not beable to stop the truth from coming out. I have been publicly criticizing him, and I live in an area that is about evenly divided politically. When people hear the truth they are shocked that they have not been hearing the truth about this man.

President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton see mask-to-mask during a trip to Mexico.

Is it my imagination or is that the face of Jesus that Bill has held up to his face?

I’m telling ya this was a huge huge negative in his campaign.

Agreed.  As they say, every picture tells a story and a picture is worth a thousand words....and perhaps, in this case, an election.  I have no doubt that the Hussein-Obama inner circle is sweating bullets over this despite their efforts to put on a happy face and try to deflect the damage back to the Hildebeast. 

The damage is particularly significant because it's largely a matter of perception and emotion, which is the main thing that's been driving the Hussein - Obama campaign.  If Hussein-Obama were white, he would be nothing more than one of the innumerable inexperienced Marxist politicians here in the USA with no distinguishing feature except his ability to make others think of him as 'eloquent' when he says nothing at all but platitudes.  Therefore, his appeal is, in large measure, due to race.  Who dominates the front rows of most all Hussein-Obama rallies?  Hysterical, young, white women.  White guilt and emotion....that's the driving force.

A photo that plays on negative emotions released to combat a candidate whose appeal is entirely emotional?  Brilliant.

And effective.

 What a geek!

You are extremely gracious and charitable; far more so than I would likely want to be :-)

I’ve been to that blog and it’s total BS. Have you seen a photo of Obama’s dad and him at the Hawaii airport? Dad is very black and in no way Arab though of course he’s Muzz

The election is 8 months off.
We’ll nail ‘Boma on his campaigning for his Sharia Law Muslim cousin in Kenya and the anti Christian riots this cousin fomented

“”Who dominates the front rows of most all Hussein-Obama rallies? Hysterical, young, white women. White guilt and emotion....that’s the driving forceT

Interesting observation. Young white women just like his mom, obsessed with dark men. If he didn’t get enough attention from her, he’s certainly getting it now. He’s playing them like a saxophone. Shades of Clinton, the other seducer-candidate.

Is no harem large enough for the young sheik?

To: Veto!

I keep trying to tell myself that the American voters, when it comes down to actually pulling the lever in the voting booth, will be smart enough to reject this Marxist in favor of just about ANYONE else.....but then I remind myself of the Jimmuh Carter campaign, where I would be constantly reading and hearing women fawn over his ‘beautiful smile’ and his ‘down to earth manner’ and how he was so ‘kind and gentle’. The result? Islamofascism, the destruction of the CIA, gas lines and a nearly-destroyed economy to name just a very few things.

Similarly, one would have thought that America would easily reject Bill “Serial Rapist In Chief” Cinton, given all that was known about him, but we got TWO terms of that trash.

And we were within a hair’s breadth of having Algore and sKerry inflicted upon us.....WAY too close for comfort, and astonishingly so given their proudly-flaunted Leftist credentials.

Given this recent history, I am of the opinion that the power of White Guilt is indeed enough to get someone like Hussein-Obama elected, and it scares me to death.
