Will Barack Obama Betray Us If Elected?

The question on my mind is one of Sen. Obama's integrity and loyalty to the United States. I fear as President, he would eventually betray our trust in him and open our borders and our freedom to outsiders that would cause us harm. His steadfast refusal to deny and condemn Former President Jimmy Carters overtures to Hamas and thus by proxy, Iran have alarmed me deeply and causes me to question his resolve as an American and patriot. If nothing else, our President must first and foremost be a patriot, anything else is totally unacceptable.

As President, Sen. Obama would be Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces. In that position, one of command of a vast and powerful military, could Obama "pull the trigger" on his friends in the middle east if it were required? I think not, he is far too accepting of the militant mindset of terrorist factions in that region and if our friend and ally Israel were attacked, Sen. Obama would not have the spine to take military action against those that he calls friends.

Twice in the last paragraph, I called terrorists in the middle east Sen. Obama's friends even though he has not come out and verbally stated in public that he supports Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria or Iran, nor any of the smaller splinter factions that make up these larger groups.

Perception is reality and the perception that Sen. Obama is leaving all of us with, is that these anti-American, anti-Israeli groups are his friends, because he not only fails to denounce all of their actions and motivations, he actually welcomes their praise!

"Obama's position on Hamas is very clear. Until they renounce violence, until they recognize Israel's right to exist and recognize previous agreements, we shouldn't have any contact with him," according to David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist.

Axelrod said this in Philadelphia, shortly after the debate between Obama and Hillary Clinton and in response to a question about Obama's stance on Hamas.

However, just a few days prior to Axelrod making this statement, he had this to say:

Barack Obama's campaign said yesterday it is "flattered" that Hamas' endorsement of the Illinois senator compared him to John F. Kennedy, though it objects to any diplomatic contact with the terrorist group.

"I like John Kennedy too," said chief Obama strategist David Axelrod. "That's about the only thing we have in common with this gentleman from Hamas. We all agree that John Kennedy was a great president, and it's flattering when anybody says that Barack Obama would follow in his footsteps."

Axelrod was reacting to comments earlier this week from Ahmed Yousef, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, who said Hamas "hopes" Obama will win the presidential elections and "change" America's foreign policy.

With this type of rhetoric being bantered about by the Obama camp, you can begin to see my feelings of distrust for Sen. Obama as President and Commander-in-Chief. "Obama's position on Hamas is very clear?" It's not so clear after all, in fact it's anything, but clear.

John Batchelor and Arron Klein interviewed Mr. Yousef on ABC radio and asked him how he felt about the statement Obama made the day before, when he called Hamas a terrorist organization. Yousef excused Obama's criticism of Hamas, describing it as political posturing. Political posturing. Even the terrorists know he is in sympathy with them, they excuse is rhetoric for him.

He went on to say, "I understand American politics, and this is the season for elections, and everybody tries to sound like he's a friend of the Israelis ... so whatever [the] Israelis didn't like they will take from all those candidates," Yousef said.

Here again, Hamas is admitting that Obama is NOT serious about our friends in Israel and when the time comes to "pull the trigger", Obama will side with the terrorists.

Yousef said that in Hamas' view, Obama has "a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with humiliation and arrogance." (from Worldnet Daily)

Our biggest threat and potential military foe is Iran. Iran is rapidly developing nuclear capability and it has much of the world alarmed at it's aggression in this area. It constantly refused to back down to anyone on it's right to produce nuclear fuel.

Iran almost completely funds Hamas, either directly or indirectly via Syria and a vast network of charity organizations worldwide. So, does this imply that if one shows favor to Hamas, it's the same as siding with Iran? In my opinion it does. Former President Carter has met twice with the exiled leader of Hamas, once in the West Bank and once in Syria. Their focus is peace between Israel and Gaza, however one side is conspicuously absent. Israel does not and should not recognize Hamas as the government of the Palestinian people, and neither should President Carter, his own government does not recognize them as an authority in Gaza.

Barack Obama, by his silence, is approving what President Carter is doing, he has taken the endorsement by Hamas with "flattery" and he continues to tell us he'll remove the troops from Iraq as soon as he can. Withdrawing troops from Iraq is exactly what Muqtada al-Sadr has been screaming for, and on Saturday, 4/19/08 gave a final warning to the US-Iraqi coalition to stop their crack down on followers or there will be war until they are liberated.

Iran funds and supplies al-Sadr and his extremist army the is fighting to bring down the elected government of Iraq. Sen. Barack, by his admitted actions if he becomes President, all but endorses Islamist radicals like al-Sadr.

Will Barack Obama betray us if elected President of the United States? Can we trust him to do the right thing if the time comes, if he gets that infamous 3AM phone call after taking money for his election campaign from Rashid Khalidi is a Columbia University professor who previously worked for the PLO, a terrorist organization, and hosted a fund raiser for Obama's US Senate bid.

Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."

Khalidi also lauded Obama for "saying he supports talks with Iran. If the U.S. can talk with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is no reason it can’t talk with the Iranians."

That quote is from an article in The HinzSight Report.

I think he will betray us all, and he and his party won't even see it as a betrayal.
