Get ‘em!

John McCain taunted Barack Obama Friday for his recent “endorsement” from a Hamas adviser, wearing his own apparent rejection by the terrorist group as a badge of honor and saying that if elected he would be “Hamas’ worst nightmare.”

McCain spoke openly about the touchy subject on a conference call with bloggers Friday morning, even as he was fighting with a local Republican Party to take down an ad critical of Obama that he said was harmful to the “respectful” spirit of the race.

“I think it is very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States … I think that the people should understand that I will be Hamas’ worst nightmare,” McCain said when asked about the group’s recent statements about Obama. (snip)

“I never expect for the leader of Hamas … to say that he wants me as president of the United States,” McCain said. “I think it is very clear … why they would not want me to be president of the United States, so if Sen. Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly.”

I was supposed to be on that conference call, but, Real Life, in the form of a company conference call, interfered.

Face it, the anti-American forces out there would prefer Obama. So far, he hasn’t given us a statement on how he would fight a kindler, gentler war on terror, but, for the most part, he has stayed away from even talking about the war on Islamic terrorism. Partly, I’m sure, because his base thinks it is phony, that 9/11 was an inside job, and they’re no nothing idiots who faint at his rallies. The other part is that Obama is a neophyte who knows little about the issue himself.

One of the main jobs of the President, and the federal government, is to protect the People of the USA from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Not fake enemies like global warming, but real ones like the terrorists who have attack America and American interests and people many times, and have told us it is war. No one really has the full knowledge to be “The Man” when stepping in to the White House, but John McCain is light years ahead of Obama. Put in military terms, Obama might, I repeat, might be considered a Private 1st Class (surely he has heard some intel at some point), while McCain is a Lieutenant General, very, very close.
