BARACK OBAMA

Hamas' Ahmed Yousef: 'We like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win).'

Wow. All in all, if I were an American presidential candidate, I'd prefer to be denounced by Hamas. Not so for Barack Obama.

During an interview on WABC radio Sunday, top Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said the terrorist group supports Obama’s foreign policy vision.

“We don’t mind–actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance,” Yousef said in response to a question about the group’s willingness to meet with either of the Democratic presidential candidates.
