Bob McCarty Writes

Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama received two endorsements recently — one wanted, the other…not so much. Both are likely to come back and haunt him on the road to Denver.

As much as he would like to deny that he’s a tax-raising, big government liberal, Obama’s recent endorsement by the nation’s largest federal employee union will lead many conservative, smaller-government advocates to conclude otherwise. The news release announcing the American Federation of Government Employees’ endorsement of Obama is available here.

Likewise, the junior senator from Illinois will find it difficult to convince many voters that he genuinely didn’t appreciate a recent endorsement by the Palestinian terror group Hamas. This story leads me to believe Obama is a soft-on-terror foreign policy greenhorn and terrorists around the world relish such a quality in a man vying for the role as this country’s Commander-in-Chief.
