Critical thinking has gone completely out the window here....
Too many of you are jumping onto the Obama picture thing as if the Lord came down and told you that he has personally seen Hillary Clinton send that puppy over to Drudge.

Let's try reining in our hysteria here and consider it more objectively, shall we.

Isn't it an odd coincidence that within 48 hours of coming out and railing Obama about the fliers in Ohio and telling him to "Join her for the next debate" to talk about his dirty campaigning that this came out?

Do you REALLY think that something like this would be in her playbook when she's trying to take the highground?

Seriously, people....if Drudge came out and told me that obama had released nacked photos of hillary or something I would be skeptical....very skeptical.

What has happened around here? You guys have ALL jumped the ...shark...or however you put it.

1. Perhaps Obama released them...
and used the media's hate of HRC to push the meme that she put them out there.

3. I doubt it...
My dad is a republican who is part of the crossover and vote for Obama in TX crowd and to hear him talk...this is all a part of the big republican machine...he said if 'she' (said with hatred reserved for only your worst enemy) stays in after TX and OH then the shit will really hit the fan....and it's coming from the republicans.

Come on people...don't you see it?? It's the republicans MO. Think Swift Boat Veterans for Christ's sake.

6. Assume for a moment The Clinton Campaign had nothing to do with this.
And if you THINK for a moment, you will have to agree this is possible.

What "Higher Ground" should Clinton or her Campaign TAKE on a issue they had nothing to do with?

8. Not this
Enough.

If 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.

This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.

We will not be distracted.
