By not in system - AOL NewsANAHEIM, Calif.

Store Fires Woman for Wearing Muslim Head Scarf

This picture, taken in 2006, is of Barack Obama in Kenya during a five-country tour of Africa, donning the garb of a Somali elder while stopping in his father's native Kenya.

By Liza Porteus Viana - Politics DailySome of Hillary Clinton's campaign staffers over the weekend apparently circulated photos of a "dressed" Barack Obama, reports Drudge. Click here to see the photos. The story is still developing. And by "dressed," I mean Obama is fitted as a Somali elder during a visit to Wajir, a rural area in northwest Kenya, taken during a five-country tour of Africa. Drudge obtained an e-mail from the Clinton camp staffer saying: "Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?" (HRC stands for Hillary Rodham Clinton). Obama campaign manager David Plouffe today accused the Clinton ...
