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."

Exactly!
Barak Hussein Obama, you are a damned liar....
I presume he thinks “Patriotic Americans” as we, will not notice. I wear mine everyday and my gold chain with an American Flag pendant attached(inscribed on the back of the flag is,”Remember 9/11.”
We will not be fooled in this life or the next.
P.S. SJackson, thank you for your service to our Country.
Respectfully,

Jon Stewart Awards Obama "Dick Move of the Week" - Media on The Huffington Post
Snob-ama loaded the straw that broke the camel’s back for me when he trashed small town/rural blue collar religious people with his remarks in San Fran-damn-cisco about those being “bitter” and “clinging to religion and guns”, etc.
My dad was the only member of his family to go to college. His ancestors and family were all blue collar working people living in southern appalachian small-town Ohio across the Ohio River from Kentucky and West Virginia. A more distant branch of the family went to live in North Carolina. My grandfather and his relatives were FDR Republicans who voted for Nixon in ‘68 and then Reagan in ‘80 and ‘84. They were all people that believed in God, family, the USA, etc., the very things Snob-ama, Evita, and the whole lot of East/Left coast latte drinking, sushi eating “elites” of both political parties sneer at and despise. He just happend to hit the root nerve of disrespecting my people and their ancestry with his Columbia and Haaaaaahhhhhhvad educated prissy nose-in-the-air lawyer self.
Both Queen Evita (and her squeeze in name only Billy Jeff) and Snob-ama are pathological liars, he just happened to have his shuck and jive down more smoothly until the past couple of months. If they were Pinocchio, their noses would be longer than the Tapanzee Bridge.
And both of them can kindy kiss my “bitter” white caboose!
:’) [singing] Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga station...
I’d have used another term, but that might have gotten me into a bit of trouble! :)
My links to the Jewish community are not political. They preceded my entry into politics.
I'd venture a guess that the first Jews Obama got friendly with were campus radicals at Columbia when he went there, the heirs to the "legacy" of Mark Rudd and the SDS.

I'd like to suggest something that would make Senator Obama feel a lot better, something that will relieve a lot of pressure on him, and something that he clearly needs in a bad way: EX-LAX.
