Bad News Barack OBama

"We are noting with concern some of Obama's picks as advisers, particularly Robert Malley who has expressed sympathy to Hamas and Hezbollah and offered accounts of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that don't jibe with the facts," said one security official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The more we learn of Obama's "advisers" the worse it gets. Seriously, it's as if Islamic jihad is the invisible hand behind these picks. Why won't big media do its job!?! Muslim  in the White House?

Obama aide wants talks with terrorists  WND

Foreign adviser's 'anti-Israel policies,' sympathy for Hamas, raise concerns

By Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – While officials here largely maintain a policy against interfering in U.S. election politics, some Israeli security officials quietly expressed "concern" about an adviser to Sen. Barack Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

The officials noted Robert Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.

Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

"The Islamists (Hamas) ran on a campaign of effective government and promised to improve Palestinians' lives; they cannot do that if the international community turns its back," wrote Malley in a piece entitled, "Making the Best of Hamas' Victory."

Malley contended the election of Hamas expressed Palestinian "anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat's imprisonment, Israel's incursions, Western lecturing and, most recently and tellingly, the threat of an aid cut off in the event of an Islamist success."

Malley said the U.S. should not "discourage third-party unofficial contacts with [Hamas] in an attempt to moderate it."

Hamas is responsible for scores of deadly shootings, suicide bombings and rocket attacks aimed at Jewish civilian population centers. The past few weeks alone, Hamas militants took credit for firing more than 200 rockets into Israel.

Hamas' official charter calls for the murder of Jews and destruction of Israel.

Hamas maintained a national unity government with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas until the Palestinian leader dissolved the agreement and deposed the Hamas prime minister last year.

In an op-ed in the Washington Post two weeks ago coauthored by Arafat adviser Hussein Agha, Malley – using could be perceived as anti-Israel language – urged Israel's negotiating partner Abbas to reunite with Hamas.

"A renewed national compact and the return of Hamas to the political fold would upset Israel's strategy of perpetuating Palestinian geographic and political division," wrote Malley.

He further petitioned Israel to hold talks with Hamas.

"An arrangement between Israel and Hamas could advance both sides' interests," wrote Malley.

In numerous other op-eds, Malley advocates a policy of engagement with Hamas.

Malley was a special assistant to Clinton for Arab-Israeli affairs and was a member of the U.S. peace team during the Camp David negotiations. He currently serves as director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at the International Crisis Group, which is partially funded by billionaire and Obama campaign contributor George Soros, who also serves on the board of the Crisis Group.

Ed Lasky, a contributor to the American Thinker blog, calls Malley a "[Palestinian] propagandist" who, he charged, bends "the truth to serve an agenda that is marked by anti-Israel bias. ... Malley's writings strike me as being akin to propaganda."

Lasky points out Malley's father, Simon Malley, was a personal friend of Arafat and wrote in support of numerous struggles against Western countries. Simon Malley founded Afrique Asie, a French magazine that was known for its advocacy for "liberation" struggles throughout the world, including the Palestinian cause.

Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, called Simon Malley a "sympathizer" of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which, headed by Arafat, carried out numerous terror attacks.

"[Robert] Malley has seemingly followed in his father's footsteps: He represents the next generation of anti-Israel activism," wrote Lasky.

Obama spiritual adviser also anti-Israel?

Read it all. It's all bad

UPDATE: The terrorist lawyers at the CCR have decided to endorse Obama.  I think that speaks volumes all by itself.  Please share, thanks, Jay

I think it might be helpful for a Republican presidential ex-candidate to initiate a series of articles reealing the REAL Obama in the mainstream media.

Obama is only winning it would seem because so many American people are unaware of what he is REALLY up to and have fallen for his alleged charisma and the supposed need for "change" in America.

We can fix that. But we need someone with the money and gumption to bring the real Obama to light in the mainstream media where it counts.

It's that stigma, race word, that seems to shut people up about obama. Look what happened to Clinton when he dared speak the truth and was called for pulling the race card. So will people be so afraid of being called a racist that they will swallow Obama, islam and all. They might. We have already seen something akin to that concerning Europe. But look on the bright side, If Obama SHOULD and I say should because I don't believe it, win the presidential race, he will be impeached.

It's very important not to overtly demonize Barack H. Obama like we did with the Clintons. I was one of the most guilty of an hysterical hatred for them. It was self-defeating, only making them seem sympathetic. Republicans are often so blinded by hatred for the Clintons that it obscures their judgement. ABC-Anyone But Clinton.
Futhermore, almost everyone fears being called a racist...the worst possible epitaph it seems. Very few have the courage to tell the truth.
I think he'll eventually defeat himself with his deceptions. If you go to B.H.O's website, and find the section about his religion, you'll find the answer to the middlename mystery. It says, believe it or not, Obama's middlename is not Mohammed...THAT'S IT!
That can't go on forever. My local lefty newspaper had a columnist write an opinion piece supporting Romney. He wrote about all the other candidates calling Obama: Barack H. Obama. I wrote a tongue and cheek comment about what the H. stood for, never saying what it was.
