Hamas Loves Obama For a Reason
A few weeks ago, the chief political strategist for Hamas, Ahmed Yousef, expressed delight bordering on glee at the idea that Barack Obama might be America’s next president.
There can be only one of two reasons Barry got Hamas’s endorsement: is it because Hamas believes he is sympathetic to them, ot that they think he’s so naive and inexperienced that they can run circles around him? Obama has said he “understands” the Palestinians’ position. He schmoozes with Rashid Khalidi, a “professor” (formerly of the University of Chicago, where Barry and Michelle socialized with him, including over dinner at Chez Khalidi), now at Columbia University. Khalidi is on record calling Israel a “racist” state with an “apartheid” system and has had ties to the PLO. (Khalidi should not be confused with Jimmy Carter, though they do sound much alike). Obama has sat by Khalidi’s side as Khalidi has made some outrageously anti-Israel comments, with nary a peep of opposition.
Obama didn’t back away from the efforts of his big cheerleader, Jimmy “My Name is Earl” Carter, when Carter blundered stupidly into talks with Hamas. Until it dawned on Obama that he might need a big chunk of the Jewish vote to get elected, and then he “distanced” himself from Carter’s Hamas lap dance.
Obama has said he wouldn’t negotiate directly with Hamas, but two weeks ago, he had to cut loose a major foreign policy adviser, Robert Malley, for doing just that.
But don’t question his patriotism!
He comes from Muslim parentage, at least on his father’s side, and we’re not supposed to wonder why Hamas would prefer Barack Hussein Obama to John Sidney McCain?
Meanwhile, not wanting to let Hamas hog the spotlight, Fidel Castro (still kickin’!) gave Obama a big, wet kiss this week. In a column for Cuban newspapers, he wrote that Obama was “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency.” (“Progressive” is Communist code for, well, Communist.) Castro also criticized
