The Barok in a dress photo should have been such a non-issue. I like many others I saw the photo and immediately thought "well this is the final flush that will suck the Hillmister turd out to sea".
Then came the response, OBAMA "Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton, or Bill Clinton, that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," he told WAOI, "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad. We are going to try to stay focused on what will make a difference in our foreign policy, including bringing the war in Iraq to an honorable end."
This was a family thing and everyone knows sometimes when you visit the relatives you have to put on the weird sweater. You put the sweater on gladly and out of love and respect for your family. You look at the pictures in later years with the kids and snicker about it. Is Obama ashame of his culture? He has always made it known part of his family was from Kenya. So why is he taking the time to explain the picture in this wimpy manner.
My feelings are that you embrace your heritage and respect your history. Those folks sacrificed a lot to get you where you are and they deserve your respect and your love. If you truly love your family you don't dismiss them EVEN IF YOUR RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
