BARACK OBAMA

So Far, Only Two Obama Advisers Have Resigned For Secretly Meeting With Foreign Governments or Groups

A few questions in light of Obama adviser Rob Malley resigning the campaign after revelations he was secretly meeting with Hamas.

1. Did Malley ever met with top Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef, the guy who praised Obama on American airwaves?

2. Did Yousef and Hamas praise Obama as a result of that meeting with Malley? If so, what was the topic of that meeting, and were any policy changes promised, suggested, or hinted?

3. After Austan Goolsbee, this is the second Obama adviser leaving the campaign after revelations that he was meeting with a foreign power and advising them on the potential policy changes under an Obama presidency. Have any other Obama advisers met with foreign nations or organizations?*

(*Perhaps the unidentified "Gringos" who met with FARC and told them that Obama would be the next president, and that he would oppose a free trade agreement with the Colombian government?) 

UPDATE: Two of McCain's aides have departed after it came to light they did PR work for the Burmese junta. Good. McCain has cited Aung San Suu Kyi as a personal hero for years; you shouldn't be working for him if you've worked for the thugs who jail her.
