Rosebud Yellow Robe Frantz, member of the Lakota-Oyate (Sioux) tribe [and a great-grandniece of Chief Sitting Bull] and her father Chief Chauncey Yellow Robe with President Calvin Coolidge in 1927. Obviously no one mistook President Calvin Coolidge as an Indian. I have no problem with politicians dressing in the native outfits of those who they are visiting.

Obama wearing a Somali Headdress doesn't make me think he's a Muslim, however considering what happened on 9/11 American politicians should be smart enough to distance themselves from anything Islamic. If my name were Alphonse Hitler after WWII and I wanted to enter politics I certainly would have changed my name even if I weren't even distantly related to Adolph Hitler. And I certainly would not have worn a Nazi cap if I visited Germany after the war. After 9/11 it is quite indecent for someone to carry an Islamic name, especially if they are trying to enter politics. But that's Hussein's decision although I hear that Michelle Obama doesn't like anyone to mention Barack's middle name. What, are they ashamed? If so, there is a legal remedy to that shame - change the name.
