What the hell is this about?.Who cares what the man wears on visits abroad?If he was pictured in a black rubber balaclava and crotchless pantees I'd say it had some significance but this is total rubbish.

The idea may be that some people may falsely assume the photo means that Obama is some sort of scary secret Muslim...& therefore vote against him.

[Even though he is not a Muslim, not that it should matter, and he was simply wearing traditional Kenyan garb while in - shock horror - Kenya, & his father is originally from Kenya]


Of course, he's not the first leader / potential leader to wear local clothes...
