Is that supposed to be comforting? And doesn’t his statement below confirm a central problem? That his Muslim roots indeed disqualify him from being America’s Commander In Chief in a long war on Muslims? Might he not have some instinctive problems pulling the trigger when it needs to be pulled? Oh, and he’s not elitist. He just says here that he’s “more worldly” than McCain.

From NY Daily News:

Barack Obama says he understood why a top Hamas adviser voiced support for his presidential bid.

“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,’” Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.

“That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for Israel’s security,” Obama said.
Last month, Ahmed Yousef, a political adviser to the militant Palestinian group, told an interviewer on WABC radio that “We like Mr. Obama” and “we hope that he will win the election.”

Yousef’s comments sparked intense criticism from John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, who recently vowed to be “Hamas’ worst nightmare.”
“If Sen. Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly,” McCain said.
