Crazeee!



Obama in Somali garb looked ado-o-o-rable!
Evoked such warm feelings... seemed to me he looked like the Maharajah of Gwalior in the early stages of his dressing up or Raja Ravi Verma in the final stages :) !! Reminded me of saree wrapping styles and parents and grandparents who usually wore white fending off the hot tropical sun!

And then what do I learn? it was a smear attempt by the Clinton camp - via the Drudge Report with a photo "which to the unschooled eye could look like a Taliban outfit."!!!!

Wha-a-a-t? Taliban? !!

Hey, do all turbans look the same to you?

What about this one?
Or this?
or these?

or all of these?

I have news for you - at least 5.5 billion people of the world dress differently from you - so DEAL with it, policeman of the world!

Here in the US itself now 20% of the populace being foreign-born or first generation, either dress differently or have parents or immediate family that dress differently or have native garbs that are different from mainstream pantsuits and 3-pieces - so DEAL with it !

Hillary campaign now claims innocence - “Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

Oh Puhleeeze!
