Yep plenty of embarrassment to go around
The Clinton campaign circulates a picture of Obama in Somali garb. ... I’m embarrassed Democrats are responsible for this.

I too am embarrassed, but mostly because Obama is acting like Drudges pet parrot.
While pleased at Obamas response to the psuedo-patriots, I am embarrassed at his attacking Hillary based on a Drudge report. This is the "new" era of political discourse being ushered in?
I am also embarrassed at Obamas stupid response. The photo "scandal" CREATED by Drudge, kills two birds with one stone. It gets the photo out there so the Neanderthals can say, "See I told ya so, he's a Muslim terrurist" and it gets a ding at Hillary for being a "dirty Clinton". Republicans have been hitting home runs with these twofer type scandals it seems like forever now. Obama fell effortlessly into the trap. By pushing this as a Clinton issue in the media, he lets the Neanderthals both feast over the "terrurist" picture and also over what an awful person Clinton is. Whoopee, homerun in GOP land with GOP operatives laughing their behinds off.
While we are looking at gender bias (duh yeah, it’s a factor), racism(duh yeah, it’s a factor), and age bias (newly Obama created divisive factor), might as well throw religious bias (duh yeah, it’s a factor) in there as well. Obamas’ "I am an awesome Christian, vote for me, I love Jesus" (paraphrased) political flyer is despicable - a typical GOP ploy that involves using Jesus as a political pawn.
In the end, unfortunately nothing new here, embarassing politics as usual for all.
