I've seen some people on the far left criticize Obama for being too close a friend with Israel. They point to comments he's made recently about Palestinians. Here are his comments:
"As president, I will do everything that I can to help (Israel) protect itself ... We will make sure that it can defend itself from any attack, whether it comes from as close as Gaza or as far as Tehran," Obama told a synagogue in Philadelphia, according to his campaign aides.
Obama, who has said he would meet with US enemies Iran and Cuba if elected president, criticized Carter's expected meeting Wednesday in Cairo with Hamas, stressing: "Hamas is not a state, Hamas is a terrorist organization."

Is this what he really believes? Need I remind people, his name is Barack Hussein Obama. See his birth certificate:

Obama grew up going to Muslim schools in Indonesia, and is of Muslim descent (his father is a Muslim). So... Do I believe Obama is some kind of "secret Muslim"?
No!
Obama joined the radical Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church 20 years ago (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/31/obama-resigns-from-controversial-church/), and I believe him when he says he is a Christian.
However, he is also more sympathetic to Muslims than any other candidate these far left people will ever get. He had a Muslim upbringing, and a man's worldview is cooked in the crucible of his youth. Obama's comments about Israel now are just the things he has to say to get elected. These far left people complain about him doing the dance, while ignoring the gunfire directed at his feet.
What is BHO's real position? An Arab-American activist says in 2000 and 2004, thing were much different.
"In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."
"Obama's about-face is not surprising," Abunimah wrote. "He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power."

Verdict: The loony left should quit complaining! They're not going to do better than a guy called Barack Hussein Obama when it comes to I/P issues!
