Most criticism focuses on the lack of specifics -- a typical trait of Obama sermons. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, appearing on Lebanese television, said Mr. Obama "wanted to decorate the speech with nice phrases here and there. But what is taking place on the ground? The massacre in Afghanistan is still the same. The war on Iraq is still the same. The war on Palestine, Gaza, and Hamas is still the same."

"While praising democracy as the way forward," Mr. Khan said, "Mr. Obama bitterly criticized Hamas. Why? Was Hamas not elected by the people in January 2006 elections with 74 seats to the Fatah's 45 seats?"</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/08/obamas-muslim-roots/">Mr. Khan also noted dryly that Mr. Obama "should also have reviewed the state of affairs of the country he was standing in [Egypt] while loudly advocating democracy," </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C6E68741-B483-4BDF-8D71-58937A2D99B1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
