Abdullah is not the only Palestinian official to recently express support for Obama.
In a headline-making interview, Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' chief political adviser in the Gaza Strip, told WND and WABC Radio in April he "hopes" Obama becomes president.
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," said Yousef.
"I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. ... I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance," Yousef said, speaking from Gaza.
Obama has repeatedly condemned Hamas as a terrorist organization that should be isolated until it renounces violence and recognizes Israel.
Obama questioned over ties to Palestinian activist
Obama has been assailed over his stated commitment to Israel, although he has repeatedly insisted during interviews he is a strong supporter of the Jewish state.
At a recent event in a Boca Raton, Fla., synagogue, participants in a panel discussion quizzed Obama about his relationship with Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi, a pro-Palestinian activist and harsh critic of Israel who has been described as a friend of the senator.
Obama replied: "You mentioned Rashid Khalidi, who's a professor at Columbia. I do know him, because I taught at the University of Chicago. And he is Palestinian. And I do know him, and I have had conversations. He is not one of my advisers; he's not one of my foreign policy people. His kids went to the Lab school where my kids go as well. He is a respected scholar, although he vehemently disagrees with a lot of Israel's policy."
Follow the link at the beginning of this post to see a short list of pro-Palestinian terror supporters who have fallen in love with Barack Obama. It is for Obama's extreme pro-Palestinian views and policies that I detest him the most. His appeasement attitude towards monsterous terrorists is nothing short of deplorable.
What is it with Barack Obama and college professors who support terrorism, or in Bill Ayers case are actually terrorists? Is there some sort of kinship between Obama and these wretched people? Associating with these sort of men and women is hardly appropriate for a U.S. Senator, even one from Chicago. I should expect little from a man who attended a pro-Hamas church for twenty years and names Jeremiah Wright as his "mentor".
That's the problem though; I do expect more out of my President. I expect him to be faithful to America, not Palestine! We don't need a President steeped in the ideologies of Karl Marx and the Ayatollah. A heavy mix of Communism and Islamic fascism is not what makes a good President. The beliefs of Barack Obama have consistently made America worse, not better. These philosophies have been dangerous failures every time they've been applied to reality, causing massive suffering and death. Is this really the man Americans want to lead our country during a time of war, or any time for that matter? Due to weak Republican leadership and large-scale incompetence offending and disenfranchising huge numbers of conservative voters, a Marxist sympathetic to terrorists is exactly what we are going to get.
Don't blame the Democrats. They are too far gone for to be helped. Blame Republicans for this madness. Blame moderates. Blame those who pride themselves on "working across the aisle". But most of all, blame yourselves for not fighting back and voting to keep Obama out of the White House. When all is said and done, Americans who refuse to stand-up for their country will be at fault for the oppressive policies of a man like Barack Obama.
