Political Endorsements

A recent news article has brought up an interesting point...
Who should we vote for? The candidate that terrorist organizations such as Hamas endorse, or a candidate that has endorsements from pastors who criticize Islam?
[Ahmed] Yousef [Hamas political advisor] told Batchelor and Klein that Hamas would send Obama a congratulatory letter "the moment that he will win the election."
Obama has even garnered the praises of Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. "You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking," Farrakhan said.
Fidel Castro has also jumped on the Obama bandwagon, saying Obama "without doubt is, from the social and human point, the most advanced candidate" running for the U.S. presidency, Reuters reported in May.
The Messiah?? More like the Anti-Christ. (Yep, I said it!! In public even! I don't think he is, but he sure could be a precursor!)
Now, this article also vaguely mentions a website that supposedly supports Al-Queda has 'praised' John McCain.
On Oct. 20, a group supporting Al Qaeda posted a message on a password-protected al Hesbah Web site that said McCain would be a better choice for president because he was more likely to continue the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Associated Press reported.
That's it. No other details. What did they supposedly praise him about? This seems a bit far-fetched, as John McCain would clearly be a more dangerous President than Barack Obama would be when it comes to dealing with terrorists. I think McCain would blow them away while Obama would invite them to a tea party. Besides, I don't see a problem with winning the war on terrorism as opposed to walking away from it, as Obama wants to do.

Who's the better choice here? The guy that America's enemies endorse, or the guy that a few radical pastors and 1 vague website endorse for ridiculous reasons?
