Photo Flap

So Obama, accepting a gift, is dressed in traditional Somali (or is it Kenyan) garb on a visit to an African country. Politicians and leaders dress in countries' attire all the time. It's a gesture of friendship and respect. 

This is such a non-story I don't really want to comment on it other than to say, it's beneath contempt. Regardless of who leaked the photo (Clinton campaign is taking the brunt of the heat), it's a pretty lame attempt to smear Obama and one that's likely to damage Clinton (and McCain in the fall) than it will Obama. For more on the subject, though, go here, here, here, or here

Here are some other "offensive" photos:
