BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON

Team Hillary: Somali Garb Photo 'Attempt to Distract'

Hmm... Two weird things in this Team Hillary statement, about the picture of Obama in Somali garb.

1) They don't really deny distributing it, do they?

2) Doesn't this almost sound as if they're accusing Obama of using the Somali photo garb? Are they suggesting Team Obama put this out, in order to pin it on Team Hillary? 

Just in from the Hillary campaign:

Statement by Maggie Williams, Campaign Manager
 
“Enough.
 
“If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed.  Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.  
 
“This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.
 
“We will not be distracted.”
