A 2006 photo of presidential candidate Barack Obama dressed as an old woman in Somali nomadic robes has sparked a new controversy in the race for the White House. Senator Obama’s camp believes the photo was forwarded to Drudgereport.com by Senator Hillary Clinton in an attempt to smear Obama.
Senator Clinton has fallen behind Obama by 16 points in the polls and her campaign has been dogged by rumors that she is a racist. So desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Obama’s team accused a “shameful” Camp Clinton of circulating the photo of Obama dressed as a Somali elder, taken during a visit to Africa in 2006. Obama has been dogged by false rumors that he is Muslim. (Source)
