ABC News' Sunlen Miller and Steve Portnoy Report:
In a radio interview with WAOI in San Antonio, Sen. Barack Obama commented about the photo on the website Drudge Report showing him dressed in traditional Somali attire.
"Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton, or Bill Clinton, that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," he told WAOI, "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad. We are going to try to stay focused on what will make a difference in our foreign policy, including bringing the war in Iraq to an honorable end."
He noted that he believes Americans are saddened when they see "these kind of politics."
"The notion that they would try to use this to imply in some way that I'm foreign, I think is, you know, unfortunate," said Obama.
"These are the kinds of political tricks and silliness you start seeing at the end of campaigns."
