Disgusting that he holds an Iftar in the W.H. Has he ever taken part in a Passover meal? Did he observe the National Day of Prayer? Has he ever observed Lent? Where is that freedom of religion he speaks about? The only free religion in America today is Islam. The Christians are told to shut up and keep out of sight. I think we should start thinking about building lots of churches in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama just came out of the closet. The Muslim closet, that is………….

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country,” Obama said to applause at an event attended by diplomats from Islamic countries and members of the U.S. Muslim community.
“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said, weighing in for the first time in a national debate that has grown increasingly heated in recent weeks.
“This is America and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable,” said Obama, who has made improving ties between the United States and the Muslim world a cornerstone of his foreign policy.
Obama was speaking during an Iftar dinner he hosted at the White House. Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims break their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

This, from the man who tramples on the Constitution every chance he gets. This, from the man who insisted he was a Christian before the election. Does anybody find it offensive that he would celebrate Ramadan with Muslims but wouldn’t attend a Christian prayer breakfast? Does any one have a doubt that he has never turned from his childhood upbringing as a Muslim? Does anyone else think that the Obama sham is the greatest hoax ever thrust on this country? God have mercy on us!

I have gone from thinking the man was an idiot to thinking he was an evil genius, and now I am wondering if he is not some freakish kind of masochist. He sure as heck either does not care what Americans think, or he is so out of touch that he is just clueless. Either way this POS needs to be removed ASAP, and I am not sure we can wait until 2012.

I am more incline to express my opinion at the existing mosques, in PC speak they need to get the very very real message that they are not welcome here anymore regardless of whatever freedom of speech or laws saying that they can come in and invade our society.

Obama spent his whole life looking for modern day loopholes in the Constitution, vague interpretations that he can re-align for his Islamo-Marxist agenda.

Bit by bit day by day he is converting America into another Islamic country.

Do not be so sure. All of the facts were there for America to see and they still elected him.

“I think *In Your Face* or a *Finger In The Chest* is about right. I think he knows he is toast and will force his agenda and views without regard to anyone or his supporters.”

I think you most correct. What was the comment about the danger of a tyrant when under pressure.

whose side is he on

He's on his own side Sharia Law is power over slavery make no mistake obama is a slave master and we the people are the supposed slaves it would give the government the power to choose who lives or dies and by what means weather it means an off with your head attitude or a household of slaves threatened by the conjuring of death against your own family members ... You think Mr's Obama will be free to go Burka free ? You bet because they are the vehicle to bring about the downfall of this Country This form of Government and Individual freedoms...

The Mainstream media is already on the band wagon thinking they will be immune to this so called law but they will be the first to feel the sting of no free speech and if that wasn't enough well then they will police themselves to keep their heads ...

George bush said he wanted to create a hemisphere of a free peoples where we could cross lines without fear of reprisals the Problems with that is you have and are surrounded by Socialist countries and dictators that would rather have all the peoples of the hemisphere under the thumb of Absolute power ...

Liberal somehow have translated this into power for them and they will find out as in the past working for a dictator is alot harder than working for a wage and freedom ...

We have given blood and treasure in these two theaters of war and what are we getting in return for it Less Freedom and More repression America and Americans have given to countries a means to clothe house and feed their children and themselves asking nothing in return ..

But we are receiving a return none the less Illegal Migration of masses wanting to change our Government to one like the ones they are fleeing from and an abiding American government willing to en-mass create a country un-recognizable to what the founding fathers envisioned for Freedom and Liberty ...

My only question is do we die on our feet or live on our knees ?

I have a hard time understanding that. A group is committed to destroying the Religion, it’s people, Israel?

An American President would have said and although our laws will allow members of the Muslim community to build a mosque on this national sacred ground there should be some deep reflection by those sponsoring this project on exactly what kind of emotional stress they will place on the victims of this attack by radical members who did so in the name of Islam and that serious consideration that just because our laws allow you to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it is a good idea to do that thing”.Some things that you can do, you really shouldn’t do.
