For John McCain, it was a favorite staple of the campaign trail: "I think it is very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States."This assertion was based on an interview that a Hamas spokesman, Ahmed Yousef, gave to ABC in which he said: "Actually, we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will [win] the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle."Well, unfortunately for McCain, Hamas has now officially un-endorsed Obama after hearing the candidate's speech at AIPAC. Among other things, Obama suggested the Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of the Jewish state. That prompted the following rebuke from a Hamas official: "The Democratic and Republican parties support totally the Israeli occupation at the expense of the interest and rights of Arabs and Palestinians. Hamas does not differentiate between teh two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win."I'm sure McCain will now amend his stump speech accordingly.

During the Question and Answer session, Obama met a 95-year-old African American man, whose daughter told Obama that he had waited his whole life for this moment. The man wobbled slowly to the stage and presented Obama with a maple wood walking stick as a gift. The presumptive democratic nominee, clearly feeling his oats, took the stick and said, “If members of Congress don’t pass my health care bill - I’ll whoop ‘em, I’ll whoop ‘em. That’s right, you better not mess with me, and I’ll have that stick.”
See, this is the type of stuff I want to see in a president. And fuck making it light-hearted. I want him snarling and seriously threatening them. I want to spend four years glued to CSPAN because, at any moment, he'll go bursting in there swinging the stick around.

(CNN) – John McCain issued a promise Tuesday that may cause a bit of unrest with a broad swath of voters:He'll veto every single beer?In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage.Watch McCain's slip of the tongue"I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."
