Obama's Somali Friend
Hillary, watch out. The man responsible for dressing Barack Obama in traditional Somali garb is demanding an apology.
Kenyan Muslims had already protested the silly fervor surrounding the photo.
It need not be said that Obama's Kenyan ancestry plays a huge role in his popularity here. But it's interesting that for all Hillary's talk about being the one capable of handling that 3 a.m. phone call, people in the rest of the world generally seem more confident that Obama would be best for the job (though gender issues are a huge factor, too).

The picture in your blog is cut off at the waste. This was done intentionally to hide the fact that Obama is wearing khakis (and a red polo shirt) under the traditional garb. You should republish the correct image, and not the republican propaganda one.
