Apparently folks are up in arms because a member of Hamas said he hoped to see Obama win the presidency.
“We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections,” said Yousef. “I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. … I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance,” Yousef said, speaking from Gaza.
It appears that Obama may be trying to distance himself from the idea that he might be more lenient towards Hamas. Makes sense politically, but I would love to see a president who governs and leads out of love and grace to all, rather than humiliation, arrogance and ignorance.
Don’t see that guy running for president in 2008 yet.
