So Barak Obama pulled his snotty little kid act because John McCain, in a conference call with bloggers last month, hinted at the fact that Obama is endorsed by Hamas (USAToday<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

\u00a0“I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president,” the Republican nominee-in-waiting said. “If Senator Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So what does Barak say? (Yahoo\/Politico<\/a> link)<\/p>\n

Obama responded with the same sort of high-road message that seems to have worked fairly well against the gas tax holiday: The suggestion, he said, was “offensive,” and furthermore a mark that McCain is “losing his bearings” as he pursues the presidency.<\/p>\n

“My policy toward Hamas is no different than his,” said Obama, who called McCain’s comment a “smear.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So a smear is actually the truth now? Because what Hamas spokesman Ahmed Josef actually said was (Powerline<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

\u00a0“We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election.” Why? “He has a vision to change America.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s kinda hard to misinterpret that, isn’t it? Why shouldn’t John McCain take advantage of Hamas’ support for Obama?<\/p>\n

Clearly there is no “change” nor any “hope”. Obama is campaigning the same way Al Gore campaigned and the same way John Kerry campaigned. Whining little pussies who can’t take a punch.<\/p>\n

Obama hopes to control the debate by trying to shame John McCain into avoiding questions regarding Obama’s judgement and ability to lead. If Obama can’t take a couple of jabs involving actual facts, how can he lead this country in a world full of rogues? Is he going to call Ahmadinejad a racist everytime he threatens the US? Is he going to try to shame Hugo Chavez into ending his anti-American rhetoric?<\/p>\n

I’ve said it a thousand times – Obama is no leader, he’s just another drama queen who’ll be more fun to watch lose than either Gore or Kerry were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
