McCain Hitting Obama On Hamas? Come On Now… |
 |
It’s become a once-a-week thing. Each week, usually on Friday, the McCain campaign tries to take a swipe at Obama, basically calling him a terrorist:
In the clearest indication yet of how he intends to confront SenatorBarack Obama on foreign policy issues in the general election, SenatorJohn McCain on Friday again portrayed the Democratic contender as being the favorite of Hamas, the militant Palestinian group, and implied that he would also be friendly with Iran, a Hamas ally.
I gotta say, if this is the core of McCain’s foreign policy attack against Obama, I’m unimpressed. Saying things like “I think it is very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States,†really don’t seem like potent attacks, seeing as most Americans have no idea who Hamas is, or what weight their “endorsement” should carry in American politics.
And, besides, McCain’s team isn’t entirely clean of terrorist ties. Someone should ask McCain how he thinks Americans feel about his top aide, Tom Loeffler, lobbying for Saudi Arabia while at the same time working on McCain’s presidential campaign. Hamas may be a terrorist group, but Saudi Arabia is arguable where it all started.
