Meeting With Hamas

It has been reported in Power Line and various other places that there were secret meetings between Barack Obama's staff members and Hamas during the presidential campaign and that Hamas was asked to keep those meetings secret.  This is a bit troubling.  I am also concerned about articles that I have read about meetings between Bill Ayers and FARC in Columbia (FARC is a revolutionary group funded by Hugo Chavez trying to overthrow democracy in Columbia).  The relationship between Barack Obama and FARC is discussed in an The American Thinker article in April of this year.  This becomes even more troubling in view of the Senate's refusal to ratify a trade agreement with Columbia to strengthen its government and help it stand against Chavez.  I hope that this is just a naive attempt on the part of Barack Obama to be on good terms with everyone.  However, Osama Bin Laden didn't get the message.  He is threatening a major attack on America in the coming months.  It is my hope that Barack Obama has the judgment to deal with the different faces of terrorism active in our world today.
