Just how silly is the Silly Season? Consider the story that has quickly come to dominate the political world’s attention this morning and this afternoon. Drudge is running this report, alongside a photo of Barack Obama visiting Africa and wearing Somali garb. The headline reads, “Clinton staffers circulate ‘dressed’ Obama.”
With a week to go until the Texas and Ohio primaries, stressed Clinton staffers circulated a photo over the weekend of a “dressed” Barack Obama.
The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya.
The senator was on a five-country tour of Africa.
“Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?” questioned one campaign staffer, in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.
It’s hard to know where to start with a story like this, though I couldn’t help but notice that Drudge showed other pictures with his report of prominent political figures — including George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton — also wearing foreign attire while visiting overseas. (When Drudge feels compelled to add important context, you know the story is weak.)

So, does this make Bush and Putin “Communist Chinese” by wearing these clothes?
Bush and Putin
Good for Obama, he is wearing the clothes from his heritage. His father is from Kenya. If he were wearing clothes from kansas, the old Pants Suit girl, being an Arkie, wouldn’t be able to criticize much.
Here’s the attire that makes me want to lose my groceries…G:

Obama a Muslim in disguise ?
No…. Really ?
Probably like Bush he’s telling people that he’s a Christian too!
What a Big Con Job..
Obama the Trojan Horse Candidate..
Perhaps if McCain wins he can embroil us in another War and take away our fears of Barak Obama ..
3 Total Losers for President!

Most versions of this picture crop the bottom, which shows he’s wearing tan khakis underneath. They also omit the fact that, at the time, he was visiting Kenya accompanied by a retired Air Force general who is now an adviser to his campaign.
A westerner, dressed in tan khakis and a red polo shirt, traveling with a military adviser visited his father’s homeland, and, during the visit, draped himself in traditional dress.
