She is lying!

Why, after all these years, does anybody ask a Clinton any question and expect any answer other than a complete lie?

I feel sorry for HRC. She has put her trust in sleazy campaign staff like Mark Penn.

Hopefully, someone will encourage her to get out of this race with some dignity.

Hillary's response that she can't know if her campaign is responsible for this photo is as laughable as her Saturday "shame on you" rant and her Sunday theatrics on Obama's message.

Combined with what started with her volunteers circulating the "Obama is a muslim" comment followed by Shaheen's rhetorical question of "did Obama sell drugs" before Iowa it is now clear that Hillary Clinton is practicing a scorched earth campaign.

Is she lying?
Gotta love the compassionate, all inclusive Liberals showin' the love for each other. HA! HA! HA!

The last gasp of a campaign and the last gasp of an era...

i dont think there is a thing clinton can say or do to make me vote for her... they really are the lowest

She has invested millions of her own money. She is not going to throw in the towel. She will go down fighting, divided party and all. Wait and see the riots that will happen should she steal the election from Obama.

All she needs to do is to deny that her campaign leaked it. It's that simple. The reason she won't is because she can't. All she can do is try and deflect the question.

This stunt by her campaign is just as bad as anything that the Republicans have done recently.

Why are people so mean and nasty about Hillary Clinton? She's a brilliant, patriotic American and a remarkable woman. Get a life people!

what a slimeball. America, collectively spit in the face of this vile woman's tactics.

How can ANYBODY respect this (well she says it so I guess it must be true) um, GIRL, any longer??? I just don't see how somebody can expect you to take their lying to your face, over and over again, without you wising up to it and calling them on their shamless manipulation. Oh wait a minute, she was married to Bill so I guess... Enough said. If she's this bad at running a campign, just wait til she gets her hands on the White House, and an unlimited access to YOUR MONEY!!! Frightening!

She's despicable.

Hillary ~ You're so Karl Rovian.

What I find "laughable" is the fact that Hillary is pretending to be so naive. She knows exactly how this photo can harm Senator Obama. There are already those with speculations about his religion & this only adds to it. The argument that she is also dressed in costumes from different countries is irrelevant. Her white skin prevents her from looking like she's anything other than what she professes to be. Hopefully, the American people will see past the harmful intent of this photo & view it for what it is...a sign of respect.

Look at the English. She uses nothing and everything those are words of a person against the wall, ie. lying

So, she is going to play gradeschool games with a national campaign. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." Who is causing a distraction? Burn that credibility and clout HRC, exactly what kind of support do you think you are going to have in the democratic party after this? Petty, pathetic and desperate ploys. I hope you get trounced in Texas and Ohio. We need a LEADER, we have had enough of these political games to grab power.

She knew that it was leaked. If anything this little episode is going to be more damaging to her than to Obama. After she loses the next 2 states I wonder if she will do the right thing and stand aside...I doubt it. The campaign will just get dirtier!

I dont know if I can vote Clinton anymore if she were the nominee, and I didnt always feel that way!!

John said: Reminder....his middle name IS Hussein.

My response: What does that mean? Would you like to clarify that statement? Or would you just like me to read something into it?

Yet even more evidence that B.
Obama is not ready for the big show. What a ridiculous overreaction on his part. What makes me nervous is how defensive he is when it comes to stuff like this. He should be more worried about Farakkan slobbering all over his candidacy yesterday. If he (and his brain-washed supporters) can't handle this photograph, how is going to handle the good stuff (and I mean the real good stuff) that is coming?

I would just like to remind people reading here, that many of you are still heavily influenced by events and indoctrinations from when you were 10 years old. I know I am.
That is all that needs to be said.

THIS WAS FROM THE GOP AND DRUDGEREPORT WAS THE DELIVERY MAN! END OF STORY
stop blaming Hillary for this. Clearly Drudgereport spun the news to his favor and friends of RNC. Hillary is getting the brunt of this. The images have been online for some time. So why is Drudgereport going after Hillary? Why isn't anyone asking why Drudge decided with this timely fashion to go after Hillary. If obama and the media did their homework you could have seen these images online. DRUDGE GAVE THE IMAGE THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AND NOW YOU ARE BLAMING HILLARY!!! talk about ignorance

Hillary, answer this simple question: "If the photo's not a big deal, why did your campaign leak it?"

HILLARY IS A LIAR. SHE IS HISTORY! SHE JUST DOES NOT KNOW IT YET!

HRC and Michelle's failure to deny responsibility for transmitting the photo is an admission the HRC campaign is the source. If HRC did not authorize, she needs to fire the responsible staffer, and apologize to Obama, TODAY. But if she did authorize it, God help her.

Hey Rob,
You're on to something!
If she'talking...she's lying.

This was from Drudgereport! Trust me this was the master mind Drudge who spun the news and the sheeps followed by barking at hillary. She has nothing to do with this. The images can be found on the internet. They have been published numerous websites a long time ago. Why didn't Obama go after them then?

How did she know the photo was in public domain, yet know nothing about it ? Odd.

Drudge spun the news and the Obama sheeps followed. Wow you are suppose to be college educated and wealthy. Clearly you lack logic reasoning. All you sheeps sit there and accept what drudge says. This was a political job manufactured by GOP to get Hillary to blame Obama for being muslim because they could not do it themselves.

Hey I blame Drudge: Okay then, all she has to do then is say, "My campaign had nothing to do with it."

How come she won't?

The only thing missing on Obama's photo was a cafe latte... When is Barack Obama finally growing up? Big deal that we saw his photo in Somalia! Let's talk about the issues, please!

Ima single Mother of four and under Barck Obamas Health Care Plan I will not be able to obtain Health Care for my children. One of my children has Downs, and the others have pre-existing conditions that under BO's plan will not allow them any insurance. Please help me!

There are two possibilities about who leaked the photo, the republicans or
Obama's campaign to offset the flyers.
Sounds like Obama is playing the race card.

THE IMAGE WAS ON NATIONAL EXAMINER FEBRUARY 4TH ! GO LOOK WHY DIDN'T OBAMA QUESTION THE MAGAZINE, WHY IS HE QUESTIONING HILLARY. Drudge clearly set up the job and well done because the obamanites are sheeps and follow the news verbatim. This has shown you are a cult! follow the leader

No matter how many times you Hillary cultists want to spin Drudge as the reason this is an issue, all you know damn well this is not a story if YOUR candidate's people don't circulate this in an attempt to stoke some hicks' fears in Texas that Obama is a big, bad, closet Muslim. And you know it. So take your b---s--- somewhere else.

Obama took a film crew with him to film his visit to Africa including this moment. This photo has been published numerous times. Its not a secret and Obama promotes it in the film about him. What is his problem????

Right he wants to change the subject when anyone talks about real issues and play victim.

Well, well, well now..isn't this Madame's same startled, self-serving expression used each and every time any scandal errupts around her? She is so hatefully transparent! Aarrrgghhh! The untouchable, pant-suited princess just needs to lose and lose big time so that we can get on with our lives without further sullied vision. Face it folks, her days are done and I wish she would just take her lying self along with her cheating husband of sorts and head for the hills from whence they came!!! Many of us are simply fed up to the teeth with her stupid, flimsy excuses. Billing records..same thing..knew nothing of how they ended up in her closet at the White House! Whaaaat? She is never aware of anything at all! Ever notice? And you know what? The people who fall for it and believe her, are more stupid by far, in the end. She at least has something to gain from all her lies and loudmouthed deceit, a front office. While those who put her there can only read 'em and weep, in the card sharks vernacular, when all is said and done. The saddest thought of all is that she thinks none of us can see, or have the smarts to hear and process, all the trash which she spews, passing out it to us as truth telling when in fact the real truth is something all together different. So different she doesn't even recognize it anymore! Eight more years of these players? No thanks. Be off with ya and the sooner the better. For "our country, our America and not just YOURS Lady! Bye-Byyyyyye!

Hilary really makes me sick, she is a cold, cold woman and her campaign aides reflect that. Why so many people would vote for her thus thinking that she is best capable to run this country is beyond me.

Its so easy to spin the obamanites. hahah your lack of logic, intelligence and reasoning shows all of us how incompetent all the Obama cult members are.

I will be happy to see the amount of news spinning when fall comes and you stand alone trying to figure out why the media is against you...hahahahhahah

Oh please, seeing as how every politician has donned native garb at one time or another it would be stupid for Clinton to have "leaked" this photo. And who cares anyway. And leaked is a misnomer since it was obviously previously published. Also, this pic does no harm to Obama but a great DEAL of harm to HRC. So you know who "leaked" this non-damaging photo? I'll bet Barack Obama's campaign. Yes, that's right. Obamaites don't want to think their pure and saintly B.O. could have done this? Well think again. Cuz this photo does nothing but harm Clinton. And B.O. has everything to gain by smearing her and nothing to lose with this photo being published. Think about it.

Why do we instantly point the finger at Hillary? Perhaps the Obama campaign wanted to avoid this headline: Louis Farrakhan backs Obama for president at Nation of Islam convention in Chicago or perhaps the Republicans want to see what Obama will do before they unleash a boat load of stuff? This blame the Clintons immediately game is old.

Hey Hillary,

Scoreboard!

There's always 2012.

Like Obama ... his followers are so quick to jump to conclusions ... do you really trust the "Drudge" more than a democrat? Maybe you should all start a 3rd Party ... you don't sound like Democrats at all ... it is the Party of "justice" ... not declaring guilt without proof!
Hillary '08 ... all the way for the USA!

You can have her now, she's very well-done.

Looks like Obama will be the nominee. I'm not thrilled with McCain, but, would vote for him over the two on the Dems side. Don't be so sure Obama can beat McCain. McCain will eat him alive when time comes to debate the ISSUES! The people will see through Obama's policies for "change". Even if Obama beats McCain, it would be comforting to know Hillary is NOT in the picture!

Obama has zero accomplishments ... by nominating people like Kerry and Obama you deserve the government you get ... I'm doing a Lieberman and voting for McCain

Hey DRUDGE FOOLS OBAMA: Lack of logic? Okay. Drudge says people from Hillary's campaign are circulating the photo. If that is false, THAT IS LIBEL, and should immediately be retracted.

But no one from Hillary's campaign is denying Drudge's claim, when given opportunities to do so. Even the candidate won't deny it.

So *your* LOGICAL conclusion from that is, "This is all Drudge and Obama's fault for making this a controversy???"

You're a tool.

Here is the thing. She asks why is the photo an issue. The issue is not the photo, it is the content of the email that was send out with the photo. Check out the Drudge Report article for the wording taken from the email. I too would question why this photo was sent out with that email.

Hillary like many others needs to address the whole issue not just the part that seems silly. Get a grip lady and get a handle on your staff.

Senator Clinton, Has become such a skillful student of the "I know nothing about it", " I don't recall any such conversations", etc. She has been honing her skills since "Whitewater" and her "better half" is the best teacher she could have ever asked for. They have brought the "spin" to an art form.

Her comment about wearing the costume of the country sounds as if she is going to a Halloween Party. Calling a country's manner of dress a costume is very degrading.

My FAVORITE outfit is her current one..."The BUMBLE BEE " Pantsuit.

I hear BUZZ, BUZZ BYE-BYE Clintons !!!

The desparate act of a desparate lady. She may still get the sympathy vote.

What is wrong with the picture, why is Obama so upset? Isn't it a picture of Obama, what is he ashamed of? If Obama can't deal with something as simple as this picture, how is he going to handle the Republican Political Machine when they zero in on him?

What is wrong with the picture, why is Obama so upset? Isn't it a picture of Obama, what is he ashamed of? If Obama can't deal with something as simple as this picture, how is he going to handle the Republican Political Machine when they zero in on him?

Has the source been verified? What does it matter? Is BO ashamed of what he did or does he have something to hide? Why is anyone making a big deal out of this anyway? Actually it is quite sad that the campaigning has to last this long so all the fodder can be flung. We need a "SAME DAY" Primary for all the states and then have the election a month later. We don't need all of this dragging out. The media needs to stop the spin and only report the verified facts and let the people of this country decide. Rome is falling.....

Now you know why I think it's stupid for Republicans to crossover and vote for Obama in the primaries. He just might have a chance and the Republicans would be cutting their own throats. If you must crossover, vote for Hillary. She will be very, very easy to beat.

Jake, don't even joke about 2012. It's time for Senator Clinton to leave the national stage for good. This campaign is an absolute disgrace. HRC's pathetic, faux-naive response to the revelation that her campaign has been playing racist campaign games is only the nadir of a gutter strategy that has divided and exhausted a united and energetic Democratic Party.

There really aren't words to express my contempt for what Clinton -- and her supporters on comment boards like these -- have done to my party.

You think Obama is a cult following.Let me tell you some thing,I am an older person who is registered a an IND.I am not a member of any cult and I will vote for him.This picture crap is just that a picture put out by the Clintons and you know she will never answer a question truthful she never has and never will always an EXCUSE just like the vote for the war.

This is not the first time her campaign people have dumped inuendo and speculation into the ether for public consumption. Everytime she comes back with some variation of the "I didn't know" excuse.
That in itself tells us how she would run her administration. A bunch of loose cannons with no accountability.

"Drudge" ... vs. Obama ... TKO ... "Drudge" was able to get Obama's attention and show how quick he is to jump to judgments without any proof .. watch out Pakistan ... Obama will bomb you to win his 2nd term!!! ... unless TX & OH stop this rascal!!

Hillary '08 - I think she's GREAT!!!!

Good to know that the racists, and the Muslim haters, and the hatemongers on this post are chiming in. It's important to remember that hate is still out there.

Farrakhan likes Obama. So what? I wonder which candidate you Muslim-baiters are supporting. Because your support, were I to follow your logic, should speak as ill of that person as you believe Farrakhan's beliefs should indict Obama.

Hillary has tried everything else, now she is trying to spread the "Muslim" lie. Obama is a Christian and Hillary would not have spread this photo unless she thought it would SCARE people to believe a lie. People of Ohio and Texas, please go to Barack Obama's website and read the truth about Barack's family and religion. The information at this website is all sourced and cited to neutral news organizations and newspapers. The campaign website's "Know the Facts" section contains a helpful collection of true news stories about Barack Obama, so that you don't have to wonder about Internet rumors.

She won't deny her staff sending the photo, or take corrective action, for this disgusting smear. She is therefore responsible, period. She will be roasted, slowly, for this starting now and continuing Thursday night until March 4th at which time she will be DONE.

Why are obama supporters mad at Hillary? Was she the one who put on the african garb? And if it was so wrong to do so, why did Obama do it in the first place? Kindly direct your anger at Obama, if you are unhappy with the pic. So is the pic good or bad? make up your mind. What gets me, is that Obama can put on such garb as a sign of respect for the country he is visiting, but won't put on a flag pin or salute during the anthem as a sign of respect for the country he wants to be president of. Every family with a veteran in the family should be offended and furious.

What goes around comes around. And the clintons have been dishing the dirt for decades. Now it looks like they can't deal with a little mud on their face. When will this country bring down the curtain on the bill and hill show. The untimate white trash ...

And again, you're so very sure this absolutely came from HRC's camp? It still reeks of a concerted effort to smear HRC as the content of this pic does NOTHING to hurt B.O since she's ahead in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. B.O.'s peeps don't want to finally see their momentum streak broken. Why is it so hard to everyone to believe Obama is just another politician and not a freekin' saint?

What the photo email note insists is that Obama be slandered as much as Hillary has been in the past. And Hillary has said this herself, more or less.
But that's not Democratic politics; and it is really an odd mix of self-pity and smugness, because Hillary has never been smeared as much as Obama - she just isn't liked. And that's what she does not get - Hillary, we just do not like you, go home.

Hillary wore African outfits? What does an African pantsuit look like, anyway?

The Photo Means Nothing. Who Cares.

I wonder why those who root for OBAMA really understand and have read his tax plan that raises taxes in upwards of over 50-60%. And wants more government in our lives. Wake up America.

Young adults swooning for Obama need to know this...According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity.

I am new at internet. what is URL?

Just wanted to say that I'll SCREAM each time I turn on the TV and there is HILLARY giving another speach. Me thinks that this woman can't accept the fact that shell never be Pres.

Hillary doesn't know a thing about it and she also doesn't know a thing about the presidential pardons her brother and her husband sold to Mark Rich and assorted drug peddlers.

I wonder if she knows it's all over for her presidential candidacy yet, regardless of whether or not she can steal the nomination.

If Hillary doesn't win (heaven forbid) I'm voting for Nader. Too much hubris from inexperienced obama and mccain is nasty. in 2004 the majority of the voters voted for bush and now they regret it. yes, millions of people can be duped and delusional.

So, she wants to be in charge of the largest, most powerful government in the world but can't stop "700" people from doing things she does not approve of? Outstanding argument for your leadership skills.

How many Obama campaigners have had to resign?

HRC is the best for this country now,we all need to give her the chance, she can't do worse than what's in there now

I am just so angry and bitter that Hillary won't listen to the far left members of the Democratic Party -- people like me who read firedoglake and are secure in their gender identity. After all, it is the reality based community and other members of the fringe left who will have the final say on Hillary's White House coronation.

She just admitted to baiting the Obama campaign and the press to bring the conversation back around to herself! She's pathetic! Obviously she's decided she has nothing left to lose, except her dignity ofcourse, if she ever had any. I'm beginning to think she never did. I hope he DESTROYS her in Texas and Ohio. Go Obama!

Farakkan Farakkan Farakkan endorsing Obama. OMG, here we go!!!!

Is she lying?

Are her lips moving?

If lips are moving she is lying.

I am a first time voter (just turned 19) and I have been watching the primaries closely and with great interest.
I would be the first to admit there are some gaps in Obama's platform and some unanswered questions. That aside, I like his message of hope and don't think the experience issue is a major stumbling block. I look at how he has run a superb campaign and figure he can manage the WH just the same way.
Hillary has the historic opportunity to be the first woman president but with all her experience she has fumbled everything badly. Her strategy for victory was deeply flawed, and her staff mismanaged the day-to-day operations.
She is behind. Instead of changing strategies, she doesn't change her message (much). What she appears to do is dress in a different outfit emotionally every day--sorry if that is sexist but I'm a 19 year old female so who cares? She's fake-angry one day, fake-sarcastic the next day, slying disingenuous the third day. I don't want a hypocrit in the White House. And while I know politics can turn dirty, the way the Clinton campaign has handled this photo snafu is disgusting: why couldn't they just come out first thing and say yes we did it or no we did not. Instead, she let the entire thing fester all day and then simply made some demeaning comment about Obama.
The issue about the photo: it is not whether it has been out there before or not, it is in the context in which it is offered this time. Sorry, someone did this maliciously, and if it turns out anyone in the Clinton campaign did it, then I say Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to women and I want nothing to do with her or her brand of filthy politics.

When the lips are moving, she be lying

If you will pay attention to the response of the Obama campaign, you Hillary haters, you will see that they are only using this to distract from the issues that Hillary is calling him on. He can't take the heat!!! Everytime, someone goes after him, especially Hillary, he and his campaign starts to whine. Grow up and be the "so-called" Presidential candidate that you claim to be. Hillary has been shown in all kinds of ethnic garb throughout her years as First Lady and in the Senate. Why on earth is it such an embarrassment to you to be seen in ethnic garb that represents your heritage? My goodness! This is ridiculous, and I hope that the American people are paying attention. If he is responding to Hillary's attacks this way, God forbid what the Republicans will do should he become the nomineee. Do we really want a wimp as our nominee? Vote for Hillary, a woman with the backbone, maturity, and yes, EXPERIENCE to lead this nation.

hey TX -- kindly get educated. Libel and slander are only issues if comments are not true. nuff said.

Obama did not vote to go to Iraq because he was not in a position to vote at all, and he has said himself that he lacked the information to make a decision, and does not know how he woudl have voted. Meanwhile, your peaceloving messiah obama wants to attack Pakistan, a sovereign country with nuclear weapons. God save us from Obama.

So now Hillary is Sargeant Schultz? I know nut-ting!

The Clinton campaign is in its death throes. Someone needs to shoot it and put it out of its misery.

Hillary knows precisely why distributing this photo is a smear tactic; it's because it plays into the xenophobic, anti-Muslim prejudices that many U.S. voters feel.

Obama has been falsely accused of being a Muslim because the Kenyan father he barely knew was raised a Muslim, but a confirmed atheist by the time his parents met. There have been some false extremist, anti-Muslim emails circulating for many months trying to derail Obama's candidacy, and pushing the photo of Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb at this time is clearly intended to stoke those extremist, xenophobic fires.

The perpetrators of this shameful smear attempt on Obama want us to overlook the fact that Senators and other political dignitaries frequently wear the customary clothing of a region when traveling abroad. This includes Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush...

Public Domain? That image is owned by the photographer who took it. Copy and pasting it all over the internet does not define it as public domain. I hope the Clinton folks paid he or she who took it proper royalties for the usage.

Hillary did vote for the war, but what did obama do beyond his vote against it? I never saw his name among those who voted against it and I never saw him rally against it. I guess that since the war was very popular at the time he had to hide his real position so as not to harm his popularity. Talk about self-servin
