Obama's Somali Robe Flap

Much has been written about the robes that Barack Obama wore during a trip to Somalia a few years ago.

I have no affection for or any desire to see this man win the White House. In fact, I feel he would do so much damage to the country that we may never recover.

With that said, I feel the time is right to post my thoughts and opinions on this subject.

The man was acting out of respect for his guests. I see nothing wrong with what he did. I have travelled around the world and have found myself in situations where I had to conform to local customs.

Obama was doing what any polite person would do. I have seen may Heads of State and various important people do the same thing.

Most fingers are pointing in the direction of Hillary Clinton and her campaign for sending the photo to the "
Drudge Report" in an attempt to discredit Obama and his campaign.

Of course, she and her campaign staff is denying the accusation. But what if she is telling the truth.

What if Obama leaked the photo in an attempt to make HIS campaign look under attack.

I know that my proposal is far-fetched, but it is possible. This would be an excellent way to further drag down Hillary's campaign before the primaries in Texas and Ohio. Obama plays the victim and comes out smelling like a rose.

This is just some food for thought. I will keep abreast of this story and see where it goes.
