In one of the reports, it’s stated that they were told to keep it quite so that it wouldn’t effect the election.
What a tangled web he wove.

The problem with this, ellinas, is that when “Obama’s people” meet with Hamas, they’re interfering with the current President’s foreign policy. Even if you disagree with it, it’s tacky to throw a monkey wrench into the works while someone else needs to use it. It can get people killed.

It’s also telling that this isn’t the first time Obama’s people have thrown the monkey wrench–it was a matter of mere hours before they leaked details of a closed door meeting between Obama and Bush. Given that nobody else was in the room, that leak had to have started with Obama.

In other words, Obama lies at will when it suits his purposes. That would include when he’s got his hand on a Bible next January.

Whatever your politics, that should bother you severely.

Obama did not meet with Hamas

So it’s your contention that the representatives for obama that met with hamas did so on their own?
Were they not representing the intrests of the obama candidacy?

Obama is an abortion/infanticide enthusiast. And a serial full-frontal liar.

In my book, when other despicable behavior is alleged, he’s guilty until proven innocent.

Ed Morrissey notes:

Obama told American voters that he would not meet with Hamas until they renounced terrorism. If this story turns out to be true, then Obama lied to American voters during the campaign.

Obama did not meet with Hamas. He kept his word. And if his representative met with Hamas so what. Can’t they talk to whom they want? Bush administration officials talked to Musharaf of Pakistan. A known dictator. They talked to North Koreas president, a dictator for life.
This is a non issue. Move along folks.

Funny how when they want something said by questionable sources to be false, they assume it is a lie.
But when they want something said to be the truth they ass-u-me it is not a lie and run with it.

ROb,
Why dont you work on your reading comprehension, hombre?

Let’s see, I said:

isn’t it interesting how Rob injects foreign interests into the dialogue in the form of rumors

Rob whines that

I don’t see anywhere where I concluded that this happened for sure.

SO, its a textbook rumor. “I heard from Israel that blah, blah, blah…”

I continued:

and then berates Obama for not commenting on it.

That would refer to you who types this:

Those promises have been broken, so why not this one? What’s startling to me about this is…why would Obama even want to have his people meeting with Hamas before the election? I don’t doubt that Obama has every intention of undermining Israel in the middle east and pandering to Islamic extremists Jimmy Carter-style, but why start with that before the election? It seems like a needlessly risky political move, and one that certainly wasn’t necessary for him to bring home electoral victory.

If it was as hypothetical as you say, it might look something more like this:

We don’t know if this is true, but let me bullshit you by lathering on errant hypotheticals. Here goes.

Rob, do you view politics as comprising those activities necessary to bring home electoral victory alone, or do you see it as more than that? Why would you question someone who is doing more than might be necessary to bring home electoral victory? Do you think that all Obama does is posture for victory — is that the sublimated moral you have somehow hidden in this right wing apparatchik horse pockey?

also, isn’t it interesting how Rob injects foreign interests into the dialogue in the form of rumors and then berates Obama for not commenting on it. who cares about what the Germans or the Israelis think, right guys?
