Obama Blames Clinton Camp For Leaking Photo
JACKSON, MS -- Barack Obama yesterday blamed Hillary Clinton's campaign for leaking a photograph to the Drudge Report of him in native Somali dress.
Obama said that Clinton has decided to "throw the kitchen sink" at him because she's behind, and he fingered her campaign for "leaking photos of me when I'm traveling overseas (sic) wearing ... native clothes of those folks to make people afraid."
The photograph appeared as the lead on Drudge Feb. 25 and showed Obama wearing traditional Somali clothing during an official visit there in 2006. Drudge reported that it was leaked by a Clinton staffer.
At the time, the campaigns traded barbs on the issue.
Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, accused the Clinton campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear mongering of any political party in the 2008 race." In turn, Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams retorted that Senator Clinton had appeared in ethnic garb many times and photographs of her were widely available.
But the issue appeared to be put to rest after Obama, in a press conference on February 26th, didn't point a finger at the Clinton campaign, though he did say that doubted the picture had been released to "enhance" his candidacy.
The crowd last night booed Clinton several times when Obama mentioned her name. He received a long and standing ovation when he repeated his claim that he was running to be "president of the United States of America" rather than vice president.

Considering Geraldine Ferraro's comments to the Sea Breeze and on John Gibson's radio show (about how Obama wouldn't be where he is if he were white), it is no wonder Obama is no longer willing to give the Clintons and their campaign the benefit of the doubt. These people are disgusting.
BO stated at the debate that he took HCs word that she had no knowlege of the photo being put out and that we should move on from it
Yet now in his sermons he is accusing her of doing it!
Which way is it BO?
GF is right Obama is the one playing his own race card and uses it to play the victim poor me look at me
Again he says one thing turns around and says another when it benefits him
I for one dont want a preesident who is always asking us to feel sorry for him
Dirty dealer he is
So he wants HC to reject GF well maybe he should reject his anti semetic minister and the church he runs!
Maybe the irs will expose his anti semetic church for what it really is
Enough of the crying BO be a man and quit playing on your race You reep what you sew buddy
BO took 98% of the black vote in MISS- oh was that a racist comment? or is that ok because he won it by taking the black vote???
OUR VOTES NEED TO BE HONORED IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN. HILLARY YOU GO GIRL! OBAMA GIVE IT UP!!!
