CLINTON STAFFERS CIRCULATE 'DRESSED' OBAMA

Mon Feb 25 2008 06:51:00 ET

 

With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a "dressed" Barack Obama.

 

The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder , during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

 

The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.

 

"Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

 

In December, the campaign asked one of its volunteer county coordinators in Iowa to step down after the person forwarded an e-mail falsely stating that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

 

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe quickly accused the Clinton campaign Monday of 'shameful offensive fear-mongering' for circulating the snap.

 

Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams responds: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."
