Barack Obama has had a bad couple of weeks. It was bad enough for Senator Obama that he defended (eloquently but ultimately poorly) his racist pastor and two decade membership in an African nationalist church, but now there is news that Obama's church supports the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Yes, I wrote supports. I'm not exaggerating or using over-the-top political rhetoric. Read on.
The United Trinity Church of Christ reprinted in it's newsletter--a newsletter which is received by most members of the church presumably including Senator Obama--the Hamas manifesto. In this manifesto, Hamas defends terrorism as legitimate resistance, refuses to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, and calls for the murder of Jews.
And if that's not enough, in the same reprinted manifesto Hamas also compares their charter to America's Declaration of Independence.
This comes on the heels of recent national polls (including surveys by the very accurate pollsters Rasmussen and Zogby) that show Senator Obama's numbers dropping. Senator McCain, on the other hand, is now between six and eight points ahead of Senator Obama and eight to twelve points ahead of Hillary Clinton in head-to-head matches.
This news is especially shocking to some when you consider that we just hit the fifth anniversary of the liberation of Iraq. Many on the left had hoped that the anniversary would be a reminder to Americans of a failed occupation (according to the left) of Iraq.
But when you remind Americans we're at war, that only strengthens Republican support since most Americans seem to think a Democratic president would not make a very good commander-in-chief.
It's early and it is an eternity before the election is November. A lot can happen. But right now, things look pretty good.
