Another week, another example of Hillary Clinton’s campaign making an issue of Barack Obama’s race.
Just two weeks after raising hell by circulating a photo of Obama in traditional Somalian dress, it comes out that her newly released ad has clearly been doctored to make Obama look darker skinned.
The ad, shown above, can easily be compared with the original debate footage. The images have been darkened and squished to make Obama’s face look more black.
And why is it offensive? Because this is at least the third time in a month the campaign has used racism to divide voters:
Several figures in Clinton’s campaign, including her husband, the former president, have been criticized in recent weeks for raising Obama’s race. In response, Bill Clinton has said he will stick to promoting his wife, rather than defending her.
She’s not even trying to justify it anymore. Why bother when it’s so obvious?

I’m not seeing it. Maybe someone somewhere will post a side-by-side for dimbulbs like me.
Yeah, actually… I think this claim is pretty much bullsh-t.
Do we really want Bill Clinton, back in the White House??? That skirt chaser???
