If that's not the same old same old, I just cannot imagine what is. And smarmy doesn't begin for Mr. Goldberg's attempt at a folksy yiddishkeit. I found it condescending
JG: (Atlantic Mag) Why do you think Ahmed Yousef of Hamas said what he said about you? (That they wanted Obama to win)
BO: My position on Hamas is indistinguishable from the position of Hillary Clinton or John McCain. I said they are a terrorist organization and I've repeatedly condemned them. I've repeatedly said, and I mean what I say: since they are a terrorist organization, we should not be dealing with them until they recognize Israel, renounce terrorism, and abide by previous agreements.
So I read those words, I can hear his voice, WHY CAN"T BELIEVE HIM? (WrightMalleyPowersRiceZbigAyersDorhnMcPeak).
Obviously the mass murderers of HAMAS don't believe him either, and I give them credit for being hard headed guys.
JG: Were you flummoxed by it?
BO: I wasn't flummoxed. I think what is going on there is the same reason why there are some suspicions of me in the Jewish community. Look, we don't do nuance well in politics and especially don't do it well on Middle East policy. We look at things as black and white, and not gray. It's conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, "This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein, and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush," and that's something they're hopeful about. I think that's a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they're not confused about my unyielding support for Israel's security.

These morons are liable to be running the joint. Someone has to have a clue.
I hope the sons of bitches in the McCain campaign are taking notes.

"When Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama says he will negotiate with Syria and Iran over Iraq's future, he signals every Persian Gulf regime to cut its own deal with Iran. When his stances convince Hamas that he's the guy for them; when Iran and Syria conclude they merely need stand defiant and wait until January 21 for any existing pressure vanishes, the U.S. position in the Middle East is being systematically destroyed."
