Hamas Endorses Obama

[Aught Six]

Obama accuses McCain of 'losing his bearings'

***

And Obama has a fit when McCain brings it up...

What would it mean if an axe murderer endorsed McCain? Probably nothing. That's why I consider a Hamas endorsement which was not sought to be a non-issue.

Jesse Ventura made a good point I thought.....why are all gov't employees forced to retire at 65? yet most presidents or some anyway, age is looked at like a good thing? McCain is 72? or so....?

Just thought he made a good point......McCain couldn't be a postal employee but he can be president?

I don't think it's a coincidence that no axe murderers have endorsed McCain so far...

More importantly, this is a policy compatibility issue. Once can receive endorsements (talkin' about UN-solicited endorsements here) for any number of reasons. One reason would be that the 'endorser' agrees with the candidate's policies (or otherwise 'likes' him/her). Another reason will be to NOT endorse the 'other guy'.

I think that in this case, the endorsement of Obama by Hamas fits both classes.... Terrorists love the ignorant and invertebrates. Obama fits both classifications....

Didn't Obama acknowledge the Hamas guy by thanking him for comparing Obama to JFK?

Maybe they'd have coffee together, or at the very least, Obama would meet with him with no preconditions.

You consistently offersnide irrelevancies.

Didanyone ever think that terrorists may name Obama because they want him least? How many voters are going to follow their advice? Throw me in the briar patch!

Think how the above applies to McCain seeking the endorsement of a preacher villified for anti-Catholic views.

"'But important nuances appear to have been lost in the partisan salvos, particularly on Mr. McCain"™s side. An examination of Mr. Obama"™s numerous public statements on the subjects indicates that he has consistently condemned Hamas as a "œterrorist organization,"� has not sought the group"™s support and does not advocate immediate, direct or unconditional negotiations with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president."

Obama is on record saying he would sit down with our enemies face to face with out any preconditions and he would bomb our ally no questions asked. I wonder why hamas has endorsed him?
