Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's chief political adviser, Ahmed Yousef, was interviewed on WABC Radio on Sunday, and revealed Hamas hopes Obama will win. Why hasn't this key international endorsement made the "mainstream" US media, wonders John Hinderaker at Power Line:
The interview produced a scoop which, for some reason, has not been widely publicized: Hamas has endorsed Barack Obama for President. Yousef said, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election." Why? "He has a vision to change America." Maybe Yousef has some insight into what Obama means by all these vague references to "change."Of course, Hamas's taste in American presidents is suspect. Yousef also described Jimmy Carter, who was about to pay a call on Hamas when the interview was taped, as "this noble man" who "did an excellent job as President."

Well, we've already noted the prominence of critics of Israel in Obama's circle of advisers. Apparently others are noticing, too . . .

Jim, thank you for bringing up this story. Jimmah Carter, Barak Hussein Obama, Hamas. . . All the same. I do hope that if Barry gets the nomination that the Jewish community in this country, so largely Democrats, will wake up and see what has happened to the party they so fervently supported. It could be that once they realize the hatred for Jews and Israel, they will swing permanently to the Republican column. They just can't keep voting against their own self-interests. (Of course other minorities do as well so there's great precedent for stupidity.)

How long can the MSM keep hiding the true Oh-bomba? Or is the object to let this empty suit fail big time?
