Decision '08: After criticizing McCain for mentioning that Hamas endorses him, Obama says it's understandable that Hamas would do so. Just how anti-Hamas and pro-Israel is the Democratic front-runner? And just why did he fire an adviser who talked with the group?

Barack Obama would like us to believe that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright who ranted anti-American profanities at the National Press Club was not the man he saw from the pews of his church for two decades.

He'd also have us believe that Weatherman terrorist bomber William Ayers, who played host to his first fundraiser and with whom he would later serve on a board, is just a "guy in the neighborhood."

Similarly, Obama would have us believe he doesn't accept the recent endorsement of his candidacy by Ahmed Yousef of the terrorist organization Hamas. John McCain, he said, had "lost his bearings" for asserting, "If Sen. Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly."

We have, and we hope the American people will as well.

Obama told CNN that McCain's remarks were "offensive" and that it was "disappointing" his Republican rival would engage "in that kind of smear . . . particularly since my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his."

Oh, really? If McCain's remarks were a "smear," senator, why did you tell the Atlantic magazine:

Just what does Poor Barry Obama know?

He didn't know the guy buying his house for him was a crooked influence-peddler...
He didn't know that his spiritual advisor of 20 years was a racist...
He didn't know that foreign policy advisor Stephanie Powers was anti-Israel...
He didn't know his other foreign policy advisor was talking to FARC in Columbia...
He didn't know his other foreign policy advisor was talking to Hamas...
He didn't know that his partner at the Woods Foundation, William Ayers, the bomber of ladies' restrooms, was a terrorist (even though half of Chicago has known it for years)...
He's the only graduate of Harvard Law School who didn't know that Bernadette Doerhn was a terrorist...

I wonder why he keeps being surrounded by idiots and creeps, and is usually the last guy to figure it out..

Who cares what he didn't know?

You're just picking on him because you're a racist.

It's all about hope and change......and hoping for change....and hoping you'll have change....and change. You know, change from Bush. And hope.

Get with the program, bub.

He also doesn’t know that there are 50 states in these United States

I know, I read the whole article. It’s scary

"It's conceivable that there are some in the Arab world who say to themselves, 'This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush."

They'll have talks -- at sundown.

 

Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

It's all explain-away-able. He's just lucky he isn't a Republican Vice Presidential candidate, as Dan Quayle was, or the DBMs would've mercilessly crucified him a dozen times over by now.

Barack was just momentarily confused by the similarly well-known fact (also near the tip of his thinking and from his early schooling) that there are 57 Islamic states. They teach that in Quranic-oriented madrassas all the time.

If it is all about Hope. I hope he takes a long run off a short pier.
