Obama Receives Hamas Endorsement

In addition to recent endorsements from such luminaries as New Mexico’s Governor Bill Richardson, former Clinton Cabinet member Robert Reich, former Democratic Senators Sam Nunn (Georgia) and David Boren (Oklahoma), Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) received a not unexpected endorsement from Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization. The announcement came in the midst of former president Jimmy Carter’s tour of the region.

“While we do not know this Obama well, we have been advised of his sterling qualities by President Carter during his visit,” said Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to Palestine’s Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya. “President Carter, who is one of the few Americans to truly understand the Jewish problem, has told us that Senator Obama can be trusted to follow the same anti-Zionist path to peace that he has advocated.”

Yousef said Hamas “places great confidence in the recommendation of this noble and most excellent former ruler of America. We will do what we can to assist Senator Obama’s campaign. We await his instructions.”

In related news, former president Carter laid what observers are calling “an exceedingly wet” kiss on Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician during a closed-door reception in the West Bank section of Israel. “I just love these people,” Carter professed as he laid a wreath on the grave of Yasser Arafat, whom he praised as “a man with extraordinarily supple and moist skin. I was devastated by his death. To never feel him again—that is pure torture.”
