Obama’s tight rope is gaining slack

June 5th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Hamas is reportedly outraged over Senator Obama’s comments to the pro-Israel group AIPAC. During his speech to the group he claimed he would give Israel his undivided support and security for it’s rightful existence. As expected, Obama’s support isn’t wrinkle free just yet.

You’ll remember that a Hamas official, in a radio interview, approved of a Obama administration. Now they’re not so sure.

“We consider the statements of Obama to be further evidence of the hostility of the American administration to Arabs and Muslims,” said Sami Abu Zuhr, according to Reuters.

And

“Hamas does not differentiate between the two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win,” Zuhri said.

Looks like he better get back to his base and back to the basics of “Change and Hope and Stuff.”

    “Change and Hope and Stuff.” I love it.

    Don’t worry Obama will say something next week entirely different. It all depends on the crowd. Remember, he is all things to all people.

    I agree with John. We can all count on Mr. Change to change his point of view every few days. He probably had one of his assistants put a call into Hamas and to tell them not to worry.

    Yes, no doubt. He has proven to say one thing and mean something entirely different. NAFTA and Canada was classic.
