Obama points out flaws in Hillary's health care plan so she responds with a picture of him in African garb. Nice to see her being so mature.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe accused the Clinton campaign Monday of “shameful offensive fear-mongering” by circulating a photo as an attempted smear.

Plouffe was reacting to a banner headline on the Drudge Report saying that aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) had e-mailed a photo calling attention to the African roots of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

“The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat front-runner dressed as a Somali Elder, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya,” the Drudge Report said.

The Clinton campaign did not deny the charge, but did not comment further.

Who is the voter this is designed to inflame? It seems that the average Democrat, especially if they were African American or bi-racial would not find this in any way upsetting. It is not unusual for a visiting foreign dignitary to wear the local garb. (Remember Bush in Vietnam?)

So this must be aimed at the less educated Caucasian blue collar worker, who may not consider themselves racist but still have doubts that a person of color can run this country. In other words she is trying to make Obama's ethnicity a divisive factor in this primary. Telling the white Democrat voter that it is them against the black Democrat voter.

And that is indefensible! The Hillary Clinton campaign might as well stop all of the "we support the African American community" garbage and put on their white sheets so we can all finally see their true nature.

Hillary made a reference to Obama using "Rovian" techniques in his mailers. But all he did was point out their policy differences, what she has done would make Karl Rove as giddy as a school girl.
