A picture is worth a thousand mean words.

So there has been so much hoop-lah in the Obama camp over the criticism of a photo of Obama dressed in traditional Somali elder garb. He claims that there's a smear campaign against him coming from the Hillary compound.

Seriously, I don't think he has much to worry about. Even a slightly creepy picture of him in a turban doesn't compare to the pictures going around of him in a cowboy hat. Either way, Obama has the charm to get away with it.

Hillary, on the other hand, doesn't even look right in normal clothes. Much less a witch hat.

I'd like to take a look at a few photos of
Hillary over the years to show Obama he has nothing to worry about.

Here's a picture of Hillary beginning her life as a crazy hippie at Wellesley College.







And one of her and Bill in the early days of being crazy hippies together.





Now a succession of creepy Hillary photos:

Yes, I must say that there are all kinds of great images floating around on the Democratic side. But what about the Republicans? Well, this was the best I could find making fun of John McCain. And in all seriousness, wouldn't you want a guy who looks like that on your side?

I know I would. I mean, it's a great Popeye impression, and a great Popeye impression should definitely be a prerequisite to being President.

Note to Self: When choosing the day's attire, try not to become a walking cliche. Also, work on Popeye impression for White House bid.

Yes, there have been multiple photos in the news from when a public figure goes to a country where traditional garb is worn and they, too, wear the clothing...I seem to remember seeing a photo of Bush in some sort of kimono thing...
