Supporters of the Islamic militant group Hamas burn the flags of Israel and the U.S. during a demonstration at the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, Monday, Oct. 13, 2003.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)’s campaign “contends it returned $33,500 in illegal contributions” from three Palestinian brothers residing in Hamas-controlled Gaza. Today, the donors told Aaron Klein, WND’s Jerusalem bureau chief, that they have not received any money.

“No, we did not receive any money back from the Obama campaign at any time,” said Monir Edwan.

The ease, frequency, and nonchalant manner of the lies has gone beyond the alotment even for a politician. A good politician is not this dumb. Big issue or small, there is nothing but trail of backpeddling, broken promises, lack of follow through. Obama’s character could not fill up a thimble. Something is seriously wrong with him.
