  • If Candidate Barack Obama dresses like Somali,or a Vietnamies, or even an Alien, it surely shows how he respects different variety of cultures. We have seen politicians from Senates to Presidents wearing accustomed dresses, and I don't get the point of this topic??

  • Oh, I think that the stir was due to the fact that according to his opositors (Hillary & Republicans) the clothing looked Arab, therefore Al-Qaeda, therefore terrorist, therefore enemy of the US... absurd as all their allegations.

  • lol. actually it's pronounced Somali -- not Somalian

    i hate grammer mistakes!!

  • Somalia is a country composed of six parts.

    1. SOKOTRA

    2. OGADEN

    3. NORTHERN FRONTIER DISTRICT

    4. DJIBOUTI

    5. NORTH

    6. SOUTH

    obama visited the Norther Frontier District (obviously part of Somalia) and he received a heroes welcome by jubilant crowds
