Hamas Endorses Barack Obama
Yep, Obama wins that coveted endorsement.
“We don’t mind–actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance,” Yousef said in response to a question about the group’s willingness to meet with either of the Democratic presidential candidates.
On the surface, it doesn’t make a ton of sense, considering Senator Obama’s public stance on Hamas (which is, of course, different from his church’s stance).
Perhaps Yousef thinks it’s odd that Obama will talk to some mad men and not others and assumes a President Obama will eventually follow President Carter’s footsteps.
