Is Obama Ashamed?

"The photograph shows the Illinois senator outfitted as a Somali elder during his 2006 visit to northeastern Kenya, part of a five-country tour of Africa. It appeared at the top of Monday’s Drudge Report, and was said to have been provided by Clinton staffers over the weekend.

Now both campaigns are suggesting that the other should feel some sort of shame over the flap. According to Obama aides, the Clinton campaign is sinking to “shameful fear-mongering.” Clinton’s campaign chief retorted that she can’t figure out why Obama would be “ashamed” of having the photo out in the public."

Now that's a good question. Why would Obama be ashamed of this photo? Could it be because he's playing a political game and he knows this image hurts his game? This guy is a professional politician or else he wouldn't be worried about the photo.
