<p>Ben Smith of <em>Politico</em> points out that Barack Obama has "<a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Carter_and_Hamas.html">drawn a line</a>" regarding which of the world's problematic bad guys should be met by Presidents like himself -- and <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/09/AR2008040903533.html?hpid=sec-politics">Jimmy Carter</a>. He thinks Carter should not meet any Hamas leaders.</p>

<p>Apparently, he's OK...</p>]]></abstract>
