US Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama has had dictator and terrorist endorsement problems and now the worst endorsement possible has been given to Obama from none other then Kim Jong-il:

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance.

It’s worth pausing to consider the disturbing rhetorical similarity between the Chosun Sinbo and Daily Kos, although the sheer incoherence of Bush’s North Korea policy makes any comparison to it questionable. ...

I guess Kim Jong-il is really looking forward to that meeting with no pre-conditions from Barack Obama. What is most interesting about this endorsement is the fact that it comes shortly after Barack Obama’s flip flop on his North Korea policy and advocating for the removal of North Korea from the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List.

Obama is advocating for the removal of the North Koreans from this list despite his promise to the American family of US resident Reverend Kim Dong-shik to not remove the North Koreans from list until they come clean on what happened to Kim. Reverend Kim was kidnapped in China by North Korean agents for running an aid organization helping North Korean refugees in China. It is suspected that Kim was taken back to North Korea where he was then tortured and killed.

Now a few years later Barack Obama is running for President and he has conveniently forgotten his promise to the Kim family who are his constituents in Illinois in favor of appeasing a brutal dictator in order to score points with the Daily Kos crowd. This broken promise is much worse then any endorsement from Kim Jong-il.
