Obama pic a boost? |

Personally, I like the picture of Obama in African dress, I think it's the kind of picture the world should see. Some sensitive Americans might feel uneasy about it, but imagine the impact in Egypt, Italy, Morocco, Pakistan, Indonesia…
Any one who would be scared off by this photo probably wouldn't have voted for Obama in the first place.
Hillary Clinton's campaign is turning ugly. The video of her mocking the idea of hope, reducing Barack Obama's campaign to a caricature, is vindictive tripe. The more she tries to keep her head above water, the more she proves that she's old hat, part of the old politics, and Barack Obama really is something fresh and different.
The hell? Why would this even make Obama look bad? This is the equivalent of Obama's campaign distributing a picture of Hillary in the kitchen.
I'll have something on this tonight. Let's just say it was way too easy to find pics of George W. and Laura Bush, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton herself in similar attire.
I am personally not convinced this came from the Clinton campaign, though their lack of a denial is troubling. You can't really trust what Drudge puts up until you get it from another - more reputable - source.
Still, if Obama was a Muslim it shouldn't matter. America is really stupid sometimes. Ok…a lot of the time.
