Barack Obama says that John McCain tried to "smear" him and was "losing his bearings" for suggesting that Hamas preferred Obama for president.
The Democratic presidential candidate told CNN that it's "offensive" and "disappointing" especially since McCain has said he's "not going to run that kind of politics."
McCain has raised questions about a Hamas adviser saying in an interview: "We like Obama and hope that he will win the election." The United States has labeled the Palestinian organization a terrorist group.
McCain said yesterday on "The Daily Show with John Stewart" that it shows how some enemies view America. He said "I guarantee you, they're not going to endorse me."
And a McCain adviser says Obama was referring to McCain's age with his "losing his bearings" comment.

It’s funny. Hamas says they hope Obama wins. McCain says you won’t see them saying they want McCain to win.
And Obama says it’s offensive.
So, the message is, Obama thinks it would be offensive to reject the endorsement of Hamas.

I know some of the posting truly do not agree with McCain.I also have issues with him but I swear, I think we have trolls in deep cover posting some of this garbage.

Really. Obama is trying to take Hamas’s endorsement of him and turn it around on McCain. What an @ss! Of course, he’ll get away with it with some people.
To: mware
If you think these posts are bad just wait until someone posts an article with positive McCain news . You will see the entire McCain haters/ DU troll crowd come roaring out in full force.

That is a hard-hitting response. It pulls no punches, yet is not ad hominum.
The McCain campaign appears ready to fight for the election.

It really is frightening. I know McCain leaves a lot to be desired, but when considering the options there is not even a question.
I truly do not think our nation can survive 4 years of him as president.
...and I will say it right now if Obama wins, at least one city in the US will be subjected to some sort of nuke attack.

A spokesman for Hamas said as much. Obama has problems dealing with what people say. Witness Reverend Wright. Maybe he thinks he can just wish them away.

I thought Obama came off as an immature punk in that interview.
Obama has said he will surrender to Al Quaeda in Iraq, release the terrorists from GITMO,refuse to monitor terrorist communications, and cease subjecting visa applicants from Muslim countries to heightened scrutiny. Obama pointedly refused to say he would directly retaliate against Iran if it nuked Israel. He uses the language of America's enemies, accusing our country of “arrogance” and “cowboy diplomacy.” Obama is the overwhelming choice of American Muslims. OF COURSE HAMAS and other terrorist outfits would welcome an Obama presidency. Why is he even drawing attention to this?

What is “offensive” and “disappointing” to most people who are paying attention is that BHO doesn't mind being endorsed by those who hate America. He has displayed poor judgment of character in his handing of his pastor. How can we trust him to deal with Hamas, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il when what they say about America is slightly less hateful than Rev. Wright.

Obama should also be careful about insulting older voters.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
“losing his bearings”. Obama is dead wrong once again. McQueeg lost his strawberries.
