Malachi does deliver a prophetic message contrasting the chosen Jacob with the unchosen Esau to the people of Edom. Looking back through Genesis 25-30ish there doesn't seem to be much of God hating Esau, just Malachi claiming God did because it seems like hate to him as well. You can kill without hate, punish without hate and regret without hate. I'm still not buying God of the OT hated anyone, not to say he wasn't ordering killings, jealous or vengeful.
As to God logically having enemies.. I would say by the definition (one who is actively opposed or hostile to another) I don't see why God couldn't have enemies if he allows us to choose to oppose Him.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
