This is just desperate.

With only days to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, Hillary Clinton cronies have circulated a photo of what they call a “dressed” Barack Obama.

The snap shows the Democrat FRONTRUNNER dressed as a Somali Elder, during his visit to a a rural area in northeastern Kenya.

Says one foolhardy staffer: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?”

    She is getting a little desperate. Whatever your political leanings are surely people expect a little more dignity from the candidates. Ah whatfucking ever.
    You know Barrack will represent the Democrats and then he and McCain will compete for presidency and after which of course McCain will win. I just don’t see how America could accept a black president. I’m all for it personally but I don’t see it happening…maybe I’m just a cynic.

    The interesting thing is that Mrs. Clinton has already lost! She has to beat Obama (by more than 20%)
    in the upcoming primaries. She is currently either losing or tied in those primaries. So winning by 20% is an impossibilty. Wheather you like it or not say hello to the Democratic Nominee and most probably the next President of the United States. We need to remove this international image of a bunch of Hillbilly Uneducated Rednecks brought about by the current Bush administration. Obama is the only answer!!!

    I don’t really see how this is all that shocking at all. It certainly hasn’t put me off Barack. He’s visiting a country and is dressing in their national dress. If anything it makes me like him more. A lot of politicians and even celebrities do this when they visit other countries. It shows respect and their supporters get a kick out of it I think. It’s like David Beckham doing New Zealand’s national dance of the Haka when he visited. I think its so pathetic how low the politicians stoop sometimes in order to make their opponents look bad. This little stunt really shows Hillary’s ugly side.

    Dana, McCain’s old war-horse ass will drop dead before he even makes it to November and if he DOES live much long (and statistics show he should have been dead long ago), Obama will crush him like the little toad he is.
    As far as Hillary, that racist menopausal bitch needs to take some fucking estrogen STAT.

    I realize people want any excuse to justify their hate for Hillary even more, but not only has it NOT been verified that it originated from Clinton’s camp, but Clinton herself stated that there is no basis for judgment in the picture since all politicos do the same out of courtesy for the culture of the country they are in (she points out that even she does it).

    the problem with thinking the symptoms of a failed system are THE problem (to the debate of illegal immigration amongst all other economical problems of this country) is to precisely think in the present situation without looking into the causes, or the consequences…very simplistic symptomatic view of the world without real comprehension of the genesis or components of the problem. Finding a simple solution for a LOOSE END…will not DO A THING to the real problem in the system! Post-Postcolonialsm is biting postmodern asses like crazy…but closing borders is impossible! that’s like putting a cork in a whole of a dam.

    on the flip side, internet stories have suggested that b. hussein obama isn’t black afterall, in spite of him using that to his benefit most of his and his wife’s terribly ‘hopeless,’ downtrodden and unsuccessful life here in racist, poverty stricken america. there’s a good chance that obama’s paternal side isn’t black african but rather were arab slave traders (hence the name despite a christian kenyan populace) who shackled blacks for centuries under islam (a practice that continues today without western liberal protest). in the least, a billion muslims worldwide will regard him as a muslim (it’s passed thru the paternal) and thus his racist, separatist UCC religion will mark him as an apostate. also, his church is quite scary and even ralph nader says he is misguided on the israel/pali issue…and that’s saying something. oh yea, daniel ortega endorsed him too…hugo chavez is too smart to, but he would.

    “is open borders the solution then”
    have you heard of a little thing call globalization?
    or even …. OUTSOURCING?
    Even with totally strong borders, corporations are hiring entire CITIES in INDIA to work for them… to do the work people in this country did before. Happening here, Europe, all continents. Corporations are above all MULTINATIONALS. That is: no sense of nationalist identity! that’s sooo 5 centuries ago…maybe in the minds of people nationalistic feelings are still at play. BUT CORPORATIONS (the real power that rules the world) DON”T GIVE A SHIT!!! and don’t need borders to squeeeezzzzzzzzzze the living life of whomever! SO…keep shooting at the borders! that like perfect for the corporations…inflating the nationalistic pride, to keep people busy to the REAL issues, like cutting taxes, and COMPETITIVE EDUCATION IN A GLOBAL MARKET!

    Anyhow…to brief of a discussion for such a complex matter.

    I recomend a book: “the world is flat”…just read reviwes, and it might be even interesting for you.

    Adam, I wouldn’t use fear (of musilims) to say his not fit for president…that’s pretty xenophobic in my opinion.
    Besides he’s not running for a “musilim state” and not all musulims understand Islam law the same. There are deep divisions.

    I think he is a rookie, and his eventual win would have to do with braking a satus quo, (erasing alll this shit hole where even the clintons are considered to be a part of) more than anything.

    the devil,
    first of all, i think your point is probably right. we shouldn’t have the ‘religion question’ with our politicians…of course, i think mitt romney would have enjoyed that treatment. but, we do have to be real now, considering the ummah or (muslim world) is pretty much at war with us and has been since the barbary wars 230 years ago and against the west basically since 632…i’m not sure how to really play this card with the complexities and trojan horse of ‘freedom of religion.’ that being said, my point; if the story has any truth, is that obama has then lived his life as a lie, taking advantage of the ‘black’ label, running as the ‘black candidate.’ getting endorsed by oprah, being the 1st ‘black’ president of the harvard law review, getting EVERY BLACK PERSON’s VOTE (who might think differently about the son of an enslaver), and probably a host of other events, and genuinely hiding an obviously tremendous fact (other wise he would just clear it up) that would cause serious questions about anything else he may be hiding. lastly, most whites are especially old corporations are held accountable (to a fault i’d argue) by many black activists and in a way, black culture itself, for the crimes against blacks for 400 years by our ancestors (not mine)…and no one would bat an eye (as i remarked in my 1st post) about the crimes of a slave trader’s family?
