DEMOCRATIC hopeful Barack Obama said that as president he would do his utmost to help Israel defend itself from any regional threat, as he criticized ex-president Jimmy Carter for seeking to meet with Hamas.
"As president, I will do everything that I can to help (Israel) protect itself ... We will make sure that it can defend itself from any attack, whether it comes from as close as Gaza or as far as Tehran," Senator Obama told a synagogue in Philadelphia, according to his campaign aides.
He said US-Israeli cooperation, although successful, "can be deepened and strengthened".
Senator Obama, who has said he would meet with US enemies Iran and Cuba if elected president, criticised Mr Carter's expected meeting in Cairo with Hamas, stressing: "Hamas is not a state, Hamas is a terrorist organisation".
Later, Senator Obama faced pressure from the Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who told Fox News that he and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton should get much tougher with Mr Carter, a fellow Democrat.
"These are thugs and murderers," Senator McCain said.
"Senator Obama and Senator Clinton should directly repudiate and tell President Carter he should not meet with what is, fundamentally, a terrorist (group) that's been responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people."

HAMAS WRITES FOR TRINITY
And Bill Clinton already said “If Iraq came across the Jordan River, I would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die,” at a Jewish fund-raiser in Toronto.
Looks like Israel is covered.
... except actually doing anything.
Well, no one has spoken out more against (fill in the blank) than Obama.
He must have said this AFTER the Hamas endorsement
———————————————————>
And BEFORE the Jimmy Carter Endorsement....or was that
IN BETWEEN?
Hummmmmmmmm? Considering he served on the board of any anti-Semitic organization.
“What is remarkable is how these two clowns could ever even having gotten to the point of a rat nomination.”
My sentiments as well. When I watch President Reagan on film I get overcome with nostalgia. Incidentally they will began airing Reagan’s 5 minute radio messages on certain radio stations starting April 28th. These were made well before he became President. Unfortunately none of the candidate in either party can hold a candle to Reagan. Information will be available form the Reagan Presidential Library. http://www.reaganlibrary.com/
Just seeing his picture makes me feel good. Where have all the ‘good’ men gone when we need them now?
I foresee Iran's instigation of nuclear war with Israel and Western Civilization, and honestly believe Obama calls Americans "White Devils," just as I believe that he and his pals refer to Judaism as a "gutter religion."
Obama is quite possibly the most vile and dangerous man alive.
Who would ever trust a person who will not wear an American Flag lapel pin and place their right hand over their heart when saying the Pledge of Allegiance??????
Obuma is such a liar and a coward with a yellow streak running down his back.
I hope all Patriotic Americans, Jewish and Others see this “Blood Monkey” for what he really stands for “Nothing.”
Obuma will sale us all out except for his BLT, NOI,CAIR and other enenmies of America.
As much as I despise Shrillary, for better that she receive the nomination, than Obuma the lying coward.
McCain will win in November, and people should remember “Age Has Wisdom.”
P.S. Popdonnely, Obuma would not know credibilty if it “Pimp Slapped” him in the face.
Just The Facts,

Obama shuck and jive about how he’d do “everything” to held Israel.

I'm sure like Bill Clinton, he'd would grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die. They're both lying, even if not, they'd be worthless in a foxhole. At least Hillary knows how to shoot. Chuck Shumer taught her.
Notice that the lawyer Obama did not say, "As Commander in Chief of the Armed ....". By saying "As President..." he means that he would issue a verbal condemnation of violence, etc.
Amen and right on, buddy!
Since last night he didn't wear the pin he was given by a vet Monday or Tuesday at a campaign event, I think it's fair to say that's a conscious, deliberate decision rather than an innocent omission.
Not to mention the fact that it was the wrong question. An Iranian nuclear attack on Israel will be met by an immediate, devastating response from Israel. They’re not going to wait for the US. Iran’s remaining capabilities, and there terrorist reach outside Iran is substantial, will be striking at US interests as well as Israeli. The real question is, presuming we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, how will we react to what will be an imminent threat to American interests should a nuclear exchange be imminent. Hillary came close with her proposal to provide a defensive shield to the region in the event of an Iranian attack, a very good idea but one which would have to be backed up with assets, including an anti-missile shield in the region, for Iran to take it seriously. And since she’s in withdrawal mode, it’s really no proposal at all.
