Hussein Declines To Criticize Carter’s Hamas Orgy
Note how Hussein uses “He’s a private citizen” as his shield to back off comment. Not true. Jimmy Carter will forever until the day he dies be called “Mr. President”…all former Presidents have a prominent place (albeit sometimes undeserved) in our society, and here’s what Louie says:
If it was a “private citizen” going to meet with Hamas, his patriotism would be in question.
INDIANAPOLIS - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Friday it was not his place to criticize former President Jimmy Carter if he were to meet with Hamas, although Obama said he would not meet with the militant Palestinian group.
Hamas says the meeting will take place but Carter has not provided any details of whom he plans to meet during his nine-day trip to the Middle East, which begins on Sunday. The Bush administration and close U.S. ally Israel oppose the meeting.
“I’m not going to comment on former President Carter. He’s a private citizen. It’s not my place to discuss who he shouldn’t meet with,” Obama told reporters while campaigning in Indianapolis. “I know that I’ve said consistently that I would not meet with Hamas.”
Carter has not publicly backed either candidate in the Democratic race but hinted recently that he supports Obama.
Carter’s planned trip creates awkwardness for the Illinois senator, whose critics have sought to raise doubts about whether he might be inclined as president to put greater pressure on Israel to make concessions in peace talks with the Palestinians.
Such doubts could cost Obama support with some U.S. Jewish voters.
Carter is one of the hundreds of Democratic Party heavyweights known as “superdelegates” who will have a say in determining the nominee, along with votes of the “pledged” delegates chosen in state-by-state nominating contests.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday said she found it hard to understand what could be gained from any discussions with Hamas, saying the group was an “impediment to peace.”

April 11th, 2008 at 11:49 amWhy am I not surprised? But, that super delegate that called the kids in a tree monkeys, she’s a racist. Fine her $75. The mayor came to her defense but, the first reaction was telling of one’s priorities.
April 11th, 2008 at 11:50 amalthough Obama said he would not meet with the militant Palestinian group.
April 11th, 2008 at 12:08 pmObama doesnt have to meet with them because hes already a member.
Wonder if Obamas master, Soros, told him not to criticize the liberal hero peanut head?
But Hussein has NOOOO problem criticizing [typical] American voters …

[[[ … Obama’s remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, and they include an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania …
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”]]]
Rather, I’d say “insulting” … “condeming” … “belittling” …
