Clinton, Fear Mongering... The Picture

Well, well... it has come to this.

The Clinton campaign circulated a picture from Obama's 2006 goodwill mission to Africa in hopes it will "scare" up a few more votes for her. Well, this is sad indeed.

I know this has made many Obama supporters upset but actually, this is good for him. If the worst thing they can produce is a picture of him in funny clothes from a Goodwill mission to Africa, then he will be fine.

The only people this will scare are those that are uneducated and easily persuadable by such nonsense. BTW - this photo is not new. Obama let a documentary team follow him around on this goodwill trip so a bunch of conservatives have had the photo for awhile. My guess is they are upset they did not get it to the main stream media first. Clinton's dirty politics beat them to the punch.

Remember, "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger". And I am not talking about just Obama, we need to get past this kind of garbage in our politics and starting building a coalition for real positive changes in America.

Here is more from the ABCNEWS:

...The photo of Obama in native garb during a visit to Wajir had largely been posted in two places prior to today -- on African websites such as this one, and on conservative websites where posters ludicrously claim Obama, a Christian American, is some sort of covertly Muslim operative.

... The Obama campaign publicized his August 2006 trip to Africa and even permitted a documentary film crew to come along for 2007's "Senator Obama Goes to Africa."
