Obama doesn't actually have a desire to talk to Hamas - he has only said that he would be willing to talk to Iran's President.
The story you've linked to doesn't actually mention Obama at all - and reads to me more like Bush is criticising Jimmy Carter, seeing as Ex-President Carter *has* actually talked to Hamas.
Although Obama has still taken it as an attack on him:

I've changed it to "Obama accuses Bush of accusing him of appeasement".
