Obama Photo-Op Gone Bad
Ok, sometimes people do stupid things. Maybe volunteers are the best people to be organizing photo shoots.

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate |
The Obama campaign quickly apologized and said this wasn't "the policy of the campaign". But the thought comes from somewhere? It may not be the policy, but certainly it is the culture of the campaign to distance him from anything remotely resembling a relation to Islam. And this is the man who claims to deal in a different type of politics.
