Hillary: Some cattle futures sure would come in handy right about now

Kenyan elders have a beef with Hill over Obama photo.

"Case to be heard in "traditional Somali court". (ed. note: I love how Reuters just can't bring themselves to call shariah, shariah. Hah!)

Wajir elders resolved to file an official complaint with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, dropping earlier plans to hold a protest after Friday prayers.

They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.

"We will go ahead with this case whether Senator Clinton or Democratic party leaders turn up or not," said Mohamed Ibrahim, a member of the clan that hosted Obama during his trip. "But this whole thing can be avoided if only an apology is made."

Oh, the humanity!

"The clan he was with have every right to be offended," said Hussein Ali, a 32-year-old unemployed man outside the main Jamia Mosque in the capital Nairobi. "Obama's enemies are trying to portray him as a terrorist, saying all Muslims, and especially Somalis, are dangerous men."

Why, even the Somalis enjoying the good life here in America are super-offended.

Omar Jamal, head of the St Paul, Minnesota-based Somali Justice Advocacy Centre whose lobby group works with Somali immigrants in the United States, has also demanded an apology from Clinton's camp.

"They are trying to make a link between a man who could be the next U.S. president and a country with al Qaeda terrorist activities. They're trying to tell citizens, look who you might be voting for."

"Call to prayer one of the prettiest sounds on earth"...
