Snub at odds with Obama message

hajibBarack Obama needs to make sure his staffers and volunteers understand that his “Yes, We Can” campaign should not be telling Muslim women wearing head scarves that they can’t sit within camera shot of the candidate. That’s what happened to two Muslim women Monday at Obama’s rally at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena. One wants a personal apology from Obama (not just the one she got from a staffer) and prime seats at another rally. Campaign spokesman Bill Burton said: “It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run. We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers.”
