It gives the false impression that he's a muslim. The photo has apparently been making the rounds on conservative blogs before Drudge used it...

The photo apparently first appeared in this report on Obama's 2006 trip from an African news agency.

Supermarket tabloid The National Examiner reportedly ran the photo in its Feb. 4 issue. The photo appeared on right-wing message board Free Republic and conservative blog Sweetness & Light before Drudge picked it up. At least one Freeper recognized the need for wider distribution.

"Good Job," a user on Free Republic said Sunday to the person who posted the tabloid pic. "[I]t needs to get to Drudge,M.Malkin,Debbie Schussel etc....I want to see his explanation on this."

RAW
