This would look great in a Presidential museum for the next 1,000 years, right alongside the American flag.

Obama offers little but observations of how racism has destroyed America, and offers himself as the naturally DNA integrated relief. Nonsense.

Obama needs to be head of the Civil Rights division, not President.

The presidency requires someone who can see beyond race as just one of the components that makes up the attitudes of the Presidency. America needs a leader, not a racial policeman to lead it, not guard it, or monitor it.

Short on leadership, long on rhetoric, but all is devoted to racism as the only topic worth debate. Clearly not leadership.

Why is everyone so quick to blame Hillary? There is no proof that she or anyone involved in her campaign put this picture into circulation. It could have been pretty much anyone.

That said, I think it's ridiculous and horribly racist for anyone to let this sway their vote. Focus on the ISSUES, people, not superficial things like names and stupid pictures. I couldn't care less if a candidate is black, white, male, female, purple, christian, muslim, christian, whatever. If they are going to make positive change, and if they have a plan to make that change, then I support THEM.

It doesn't really matter much at this point. The primaries are almost over. So I guess we'll see. Either way, I'm definitely going democratic next year, be it Obama or Clinton.

When attending major pro-Israeli events in New York City, all politicians, as a sign of solidarity, put on a "Yarmulkah" . Are they endorsing Judaism? No, they are merely behaving politely and showing respect for a religion. Nothing more. The same with Senator Obama's wearing of local garb while on an official visit to Kenya.

When will Hillary Clinton learn the same sort of civility?

If Senator Obama likes to play dress up, that`s okay with me. I would hate to see him get the Democratic nomination, however he dresses. He is too young and untested to lead this great nation. Senator Clinton has more experience, and I believe, is the best candidate. Also, it is high time we had a woman president.

Bring in the new blood into White House, I'm sick and tired of older folks calling the shots. Hillary's been there before, she should just back down and let the new generation continues. Besides, it is us who will walk into the future not this bitter old lady who appeared to me to have a huge chip on her shoulder. Yeah really, stop being so angry. Let it go Hillary, there's nothing to fight for.

Oh and who cares about religion when the war starts to rage. If only the Muslim countries sees Obama as United State's President, wouldn't they stop hating us. Or pointing fingers, throwing accusations, etc.
Obama has lived in Indonesia and many other places in United States and he is also a product of two different races. Come on? Is there a better candidate out there that best represents this globalized and multi faceted world, none other that Obama himself?
That and he's young, clear minded and fresh. Ready and energized as no other candidates could campared to.

For those slamming americans about this photo, I'd like to enlighten you that the only ones making a big deal about it are the newsrooms and candidates themselves, NOT Middle America.

Obama is actually pulling away from Clinton in the latest nationwide polls so you self-righteous types need to get a new perspective and stop being so prejudiced while railing against the supposed bigotry of the american public.

When President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria on the twilight of his presidency he was officially turbanned (made a chief of) by an Abuja Muslim village ruler. He donned the 'baban riga' chiefly the wear of moslems. Well as far as pictures and dresses go, Mrs Clinton is married to a Nigerian Muslim Chief who is now the ex President of America. Right?

Okwu Anekwe, LAGOS,

thought the americans upheld democracy with the highest esteem but guess what they are all out on one innocent presidential hopeful.............obama

Irrespective of this photo, I have yet to see any presidential candidate that, were I an American, I would vote for. Mind you that seems to be the case in most countries (including this one). It seems those that reach the top in politics these days never do it for the will to serve and better their country but merely for their own agendas and egos.

Louise, London,

It seems to me that the press as well as the Clinton campaigne should be stressing the fact that with Mrs. Clinton's election, our moral and ethical reputation would be instantly restored, in the eyes of the rest of the world, whereas anyone else elected will have to spend their first term proving they can be trusted. After all, Mrs. Clinton was voted the most admired / respected woman in the world for sevral years running, and there is no question that both Clinton's are much loved by people of every nation for their efforts at improving conditions for the disadvantaged and and bringing peace to the world. So many of our problems with our allies and our enemies would be ameliorated just by Mrs. Clinton's election. What other candidate could this be said about--regardless of "inspirational" speeches? I have difficulty believing the American public is stupid enough to let this opportunity pass them by.
