Actually, that's wrong! Both Clinton and Obama have said we should not negotiate with Hamas until they recognize Israel's right to exist. McCain actually supported a position more extreme than Obama. By accepting the incorrect Republican talking point about Obama on Hamas, you actually do Obama a disservice.
I stand corrected. I was thinking of Obama's willingness to talk to Tehran's leadership. But I'm with McCain then. I do believe that Hamas has some legitimacy as the winner of a democratic election and at some point we will need to talk to them.
