Does Hamas Know Something About Obama?

[Link to Jerusalem Post in title]
Hamas reacted with pessimism on Tuesday to the meeting between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama, saying that while the comments made by the two leaders professed hope, they were really just meant to deceive the world.

"Obama's remarks and expressions of hope were intended to deceive the international community regarding everything connected to the continuing behavior and existence of the racist and radical Zionist entity," a spokesperson for the group said in a statement published early Tuesday morning."

Hold up, wait a minute. Is this spokesman for Hamas saying that President Obama is just glad handing with Israel with no intention of support? I have read and re-read this several times and all I can conclude is Hamas thinks all Obama is doing is insincere with Our relationship with Israel. Obama will bend Binyamin Netanyahu's ear until Israel backs-off, thus giving a moral victory to Hamas which some think will only embolden further attacks against Israel.

What is next for Obama? Is he a tool of the people behind the curtain or worse yet, does he have a grand plan that he has begun to unfold in the internation community?

Obama says he wants progress with Iran by year's end

WASHINGTON (Reuters)[link in title]
"U.S. President Barack Obama set a rough timetable for his diplomatic outreach to arch-foe Iran for the first time on Monday, saying he wanted to see serious progress by the end of the year.

He also held out the prospect of tougher sanctions against Tehran "to ensure that Iran understands we are serious."


Whoa! That sounds serious! Damnit, if we dont have progress by years end... well I'm gonna have to extend your timeline another six months or so.

The majority of the people who live in Israel already feel that Obama is less a friend and more a foe of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has regained power in Israel simply because he isn't afraid to defend his country and his people. The people of Israel understand that there are countries in thier backyard who, once given the technology, will stop at nothing to elimanate Israel.

Do we have a leader who is willing to protect his country and people? The jury may still be out on that but, based on the the first 100+ days, I don't think so.
