The photo, MM, has been a pointed part of the disgusting RW campaign to try to lable Obama a Muslim. If you post it here without a proper explanation of the background for the photo and that you don't mean to contribute to the nonsense that claims Obama a Muslim, then go for it.

But posted as you did, it was inflammatory. If you walked into my house and, without a word otherwise, posted it on my refrigerator door, and then stood there with arms folded, but silent, if you did that, I would probably ask you to leave. Period.

I don't see why you are so sensitive about that picture.

Well, it could be because of the way it has been abused since it came to light. The history of that particular photo is that during a visit to Kenya, Obama was given the tribal costume and graciously received and tried it on- as many have done so before him.

Tell us, why exactly did you post it with that caption?
