Hamas Political Advisor: "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election"

04-17-2008

Barack Obama is looking for as much support as he can get. But he doesn't need this support. The main political advisor to the Prime Minister of Hamas, Ahmed Yousef said the following in an interview the other day with World Net Daily and WABC radio host John Batchelor.

"We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election."

"He has a vision to change America."

Listen to audio of the interview here:

It’s interesting how Yousef singled out Obama over Clinton. But this week, Obama made clear his intentions with regards to Hamas: See below:

"We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent on Israel's destruction. We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist, and abide by past agreements."

Obama does have some ties to the pro-Palestinian crowd. I think it's fair to say that the vetting of Obama is in full force. More to come I'm sure. Can he withstand it?
