Obama Picture Sparks Charges and Counter Charges
The International Harold tribune is carrying the following story with this picture on it's web page...
As Senator Barack Obama has risen in the polls and extended his string of primary victories, he has taken rhetorical mortar shots from all sides in the political war. They continued unabated on Monday.
A flap erupted when some Internet sites on Monday posted a photo of Obama in Somalian garb, including a white turban. When the Obama campaign charged that Clinton aides had leaked the photo - taken during a 2006 trip to Africa - the Clinton campaign manager, Maggie Williams, tried to turn the matter back at the Obama team, even though her camp has not denied any role in distributing the photo.
"If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed," Williams said in a statement. "Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

Sadly..the closer Mr Obama gets to the White House this election is going to get really UGLY!
'fear mongers & haters at every turn'
I agree with NYWILL. You have the Clintons throwing evrything at him but the kitchen sink and now McCain has started to take shots at Obama. Personally, I think Nader entered the race just to dilute the votes. Now, White voters who don't want to vote Republican, but have their trepidations towards voting for those who don't look like them have someone to stand behind in fear that Obama will spray paint the White House black. You know McCain won't hesitate to use the American fear against Obama when the time is right. Obama's middle name and this picture are drawing a bunch of unneccessary flack. I think he's being put in a lose/lose situation.
