I can't see the photo well. I can't even tell if that's Obama.

went to the website. So it is Obama. But what's the context of the picture?

I don't see anything specifically wrong with wearing foreign attire.

Non issue. He was a guest, it was a gift, he was being gracious. It was during a visit to his father's homeland of Kenya in 2006. No big deal.

I also don't see anything wrong with dressing in foreign attire during a goodwill trip.
Me thinks the Clinton camp is getting desperate.

Yeah, I mean, you might as well put up a photo of him wearing a Hawaiian shirt while on vacation in Honolulu.

[Yurt]

why is obama's camp upset about this? if there is nothing wrong with the pic, why get upset?

[Monkeybone]

now if there was dynamite around his middle, i think that we could have something to worry about.

i am worried more about that it looks like he stole that old man's cane! :eek:

I think President Clinton's outfit was the best... i like the cloak.

Well, he does look like a bastard Osama son.

no argument at all. I see nothing wrong with being sensitive to foreign cultures. Wearing native garb is a sign of respect. Lots of leaders and dignitaries do it all the time. Does it look silly, sometimes, when viewed through the lens of OUR culture? Certainly.

yes you do .... you want me to agree with you and say it isn't a big deal for american culture to become well....replaced by all the other cultures of the world all in the name of tollerance and acceptance.....well of all the cultures except the american one....

I would suggest that he shows his support for his own country by serving in the United States Senate.

I bet you have one of those cute yellow bumper magnets on your car, don't you? the ones made in china with slave labor. that tells me - and others - a lot.

why are you and obama ramma so upset? are you saying there is something wrong with what he did?

[retiredman]

no. I am upset because this photo will be used, without proper documentation or attribution, to attempt to sully Obama by implying he is a muslim.

and don't for a moment suggest that such a thing is unheard of.

Where have I been proven wrong?

you asked why I was upset about the picture that just came out today... I told you why. I am confident it will be circulated around the internet with cute captions that suggest it is Obama in his real outfit as a card carrying muslim extremist. There is a wealth of information that shows that such rumors are started and restarted constantly. Drudge already discussed it earlier today.

you gave a link to back up your assertion that it "has" happened. you then recanted that it has not. you're wrong. its ok.

the very fact that people already think he is muslim further shows that you have no reason to be upset by the photo. think it about before replying.

MFM:
"and don't for a moment suggest that such a thing is unheard of."

Yurt:
"proof? has it happened?"

(MFM thinks, "has just such a thing happened? Of course it has"...so I replied)

"has what happened? attempts to tie Obama to Islam? you can't be serious."

and then I gave a link which described JUST SUCH A THING.

You then asked:

"from THAT picture?"

and I said:

"Give it a week."

you didn't prove anything wrong. We had a discussion. I told you why I was mad, what I was worried about, showed how it had happened before and predicted it would happen again. And, as I said, it is already being discussed on ABCNew's blog linked at Drudge.

so.... if John Kerry makes one announcement that disproves a swift boat ad, he really doesn't need to be worried about any more ads coming out. he should have no reason to be upset once he refuted their initial allegation?

I see. that's moronic.

I guess the fact that we were attacked on 9/11 by muslim extremists makes the Obama case a little bit different that the other three...doncha think?

maybe he shuold be more careful then....you would think he would have known we were attacked by muslim extremists....then he dress up like one....given his heritage.....not thinking things thru....gotta question his cognitve skills.....unless he is doing it on purpose just to throw everyone off.....you know "if i was a rale muslim would i dress up like one and join a church pledging alegance to the fatherland"......

god i hope he gets elected this will be fun.....

this entire thread is about the photo. your entire post was about the photo. i specifically asked you about the photo. either you are now changing your tune because i called you on it or you honestly changed the subject in your head without properly referencing such a change in subject.

did you read the post where I said that I was worried because THINGS LIKE THAT had happened already and that I thought that this photo WILL BE (future tense...in the future... at some time in the future...not now...not having happened already but sometime - in the future) used in a similar fashion. Did you MISS that??

[retiredman]

this post (post #29) probably starts the miscommunication and shows the dangers of using pronouns without antecedents clearly identified.

You, I suppose, used the word "it" to refer to rumors about his muslim allegiance based upon this photo.

I took the word, "it" to refer to "such a thing".

Let us move on.

given this entire thread and our entire conversation up to that point was about solely one subject -- the photo -- i apparently presumed to much in thinking you could follow along. mistake noted.
