Leaked pic of Obama in Somali Headdress shows Clinton Campaign at New Low

I personally found the picture of Barack in Somali headdress published on Drudge Report to be offensive.  Not that the content itself was disturbing, but the manner in which the Clintons attempted to use is smacks of pure desperation.  The subtext of the pic is that Obama is a Muslim and that should bother you.  Just to clarify, Obama is not a Muslim, but a Christian.   This picture, I believe, is going to blow up in Clinton’s face, with Democrats in droves condemning the Rovian tactic. If anything should drive the establishment to pressure Clinton to shut it down, this picture is it.  This does not assist the democratic cause or help them in their November push.  To me the campaign seems downright manic oscillating between the respectful posture in Thursday’s debate and the blazing rhetoric of this past weekend.

It should be an interesting debate tomorrow night as Hillary is forced to defend these ugly tactics.
