Report: Hamas says its officials met Obama aides before U.S. election
Haaretz ^ | November 11, 2008 | Avi Issacharoff

Posted on 11/11/2008 9:08:41 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The Arab daily Al-Hayat on Tuesday quoted a senior Hamas official as saying that United States President-elect Barack Obama's advisors met with members of the Palestinian militant group before the U.S. presidential election.

Ahmed Yusuf, a political advisor to Hamas' Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh, reportedly told the London-based paper that, "The connection was made via email and after that we met with them in Gaza."

Al-Hayat reported that Yusuf also said the relations were maintained after Obama's electoral victory last Tuesday. He said the president-elect's advisors requested that the relations be kept secret so as not to aid his rival, Senator John McCain.

During Obama's campaign, he pledged that his administration would only hold talks with Hamas if it renounced terrorism, recognized Israel's right to exist, and abided by past agreements.

has anyone noticed that most of the info about obama comes from overseas and not our media.?
Will our media follow this up and will the Jewish folk actually look at this instead of keeping their blinkers on?
Will questions be asked as to why this report came out and why they felt to need terrorists?

I await with bated breath

Hamma probably contributed millions of bucks to the Obama campaign through the untraceable way the Obama camp tracked credit card contributions. I would bet there were about $100 million in illegal foreign contributions mostly originating from terrorist countries.

Exactly. I'm waiting for the day when the stupid sheeple who voted B. Hussein Obama into office as the Leader of the Free World realize just what they did to our beloved country.

Hope it doesn't take another 9/11 to wake these idiots up...

Obama voters are the electoral equivalent of the O.J. Jury. Only a few thousand orders of magnitude worse.

Damn idiots.

Well, this list may be a little dated, but #12 on this list of Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations is HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Movement.

One wonders if the prohibition against providing “expert advice” includes political and lobbying advice. I’m sure there was some “specialized knowledge” shared.

I spoke to a customer yesterday from Chicago who moved to Colorado. He was well aware of BHO’s politics and was disgusted with the election and media.
He said BHO had a 3 pack a day Marlborough red habit but the media would never photograph him smoking and if someone did, his staff would make sure the photo would not be published.

Now I heard BHO say one time he started smoking again during the election but nothing else.

The media will stop at nothing to make their darling appear perfect to the world. As Chrissy Matthews stated, it his his job to make sure BHO is successful
