(Washington) Democratic presidential candidate
Barack Obama says that Republican rival John McCain tried to smear him
and was "losing his bearings" with the suggestion that Hamas preferred
Obama for president.
"This is offensive and I think it's disappointing,
because John McCain always says, well, I'm not going to run that kind of
politics and that engages in that kind of smear I think is unfortunate,
particularly since my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his,"
Obama said in an interview with CNN Thursday.
The Illinois senator added: "For him to toss out
comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he
pursues this nomination. We don't need name-calling in this debate."
McCain made his comment about the Palestinian organization
that the United States has labeled a terrorist group during a conference call
with conservative bloggers last month.
"I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the
next president," the GOP nominee-in-waiting said. "If Senator Obama is
favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly."
