Yes, you heard it...
the militant Palestinian, terrorist group Hamas has officially endorsed Barack Obama.
"Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, delivered his endorsement in an interview with WorldNetDaily and WABC Radio in New York.
“We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections,” Yousuf said.
“I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principle. And he has a vision to change America, to [put] it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance. I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse when one of them will be the president.”

Consider the following:
Hamas, since 2000,
"Hamas has perpetrated 425 terrorist attacks of various kinds, in which 377 Israelis were murdered and 2,076 civilians and soldiers were wounded. Since the beginning of the current wave of Palestinian violence, in September 2000, Hamas has perpetrated 52 suicide attacks, in which 288 Israelis were murdered and 1,646 were wounded." (

So why we all watch the Messianic Obama woo the ignorant masses...remember this...he truly does represent "Change We can Believe In."
I'm just not sure this is the type of change we want.
Muse on that.
