Chicago, IL – Barack Obama’s campaign said yesterday it is “flattered” that Hamas’ endorsement of the Illinois senator compared him to John F. Kennedy, though it objects to any diplomatic contact with the terrorist group.

“I like John Kennedy too,” said chief Obama strategist David Axelrod. “That’s about the only thing we have in common with this gentleman from Hamas. We all agree that John Kennedy was a great president, and it’s flattering when anybody says that Barack Obama would follow in his footsteps.”
Axelrod was reacting to comments earlier this week from Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, who said Hamas “hopes” Obama will win the presidential elections and “change” America’s foreign policy.[WND]
you can hear the interview below.
Jimmy Carter has thrown his support behind Obama (even if its NOT an official endorsement( that is coming!!) What, or who else do you need to see endorse him?
whats next- an endorsement from the Hitler of our time-Ahmadeanajab (spelling?- you know who i mean
Obama would surely be the best president Iran ever had.
If Obama received a similar endorsement from, say, the Lyndon LaRouche party, I think he’d immediately reject it (as he should); his reaction to the endorsment is more telling than the endorsement itself. The fact that he’s not ready to immediately reject the endorsement shows that, at the least, he does not want to offend Hamas or its supporters.
Just for calling a member of Hamas a “gentleman” gives me enough reason not to vote for this dog Obama.
Let’s look at this for a sec. The Arabs want the dems to win the election. What does that mean to us?
DONT VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!!
It’s probably reverse psychology. If they really wanted him to be president, they would condemn him.
