Did President Barack Obama come out in favor of the building of a mosque just steps away from where Islamic extremists slaughtered almost 3,000 Americans on 9/11? To paraphrase former President Bill Clinton, it depends on what your definition of "right" is. At last night's White House event to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Mr. Obama said that he believes "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country" and "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." After a major political backlash today which everyone (except the president) could see coming from the instant the words left his mouth, Mr. Obama is trying to distance himself from his own statements.

“problem is, practicing their religion involves flying occupied planes into occupied buildings and slicing Jewish heads from Jewish bodies.”
Doesn’t matter. It’s ‘newly’ unconstitutional to prohibit this.
Bush made him say it. Bush and Karl Rove fixed the teleprompter to make him say it. And if Bush hadn’t allowed 9/11 to happen, Obama would never have been put in this position - so it’s all Bush’s fault.
Zer0’s trying to hoodwink us with the Islamic Okie-Dokie Bamboozle.
But he did comment. He specifically referenced it five separate times.
"Recently attention has been focused on the construction of mosques in certain communities, particularly New York...sensitivities surrounding the development of lower Manhattan...the 9/11 attacks were deeply traumatic...and Ground Zero is indeed hallowed ground; but...I believe that muslims have the right to practice their religion as everyone else...and that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan..."
“He ALWAYS screws up when he can’t read what someone else prepared for him to say”
No kidding.
If hussein was a first lady, say like hillary, he would be shoved in a closet somewhere for the next 2 years.
Obama is a post-American president. He was awarded the Peace Prize as self-destructive liberal Europeans wanted the US to join them in cultural suicide.
Obama is a Muslim by birth. He’s doing whatever he can in the few years he has in office to destroy this country.
He never intended to run for a second term. The plan from the beginning was the maximum amount of destruction in the minimum amount of time.
Mission accomplished!
I personally think O-Hole is number three. Carter and Klinton take 1st and 2nd.
BO is full of Shiite!
Good One. It appears all the programming for the MSM like CNN ABC NBC etc. is emanating from the communications and propaganda center in the White Hut.
Ahhh. You see through the ‘Hope a Dope’.
Islam is a cult not a relgion.
a) The group will have an ELITIST view of itself in relation to others, and a UNIQUE CAUSE. e.i. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES RIGHT - everyone else is wrong. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES DOING GOD’S WILL - everyone else is in apostasy.
(b) They will promote their cause actively, and in doing so, abuse God-given personal rights and freedoms. This abuse can be THEOLOGICAL, SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL.
He decided to take his Marxist stand to Broad and Wall. What the hell did he expect? A tribal communion?
You know, he could have said almost everything he did say, only add that with rights come responsibilities, and that while they clearly have the “right” to do so, it would be a gesture of respect and responsibility to move the mosque somewhere else. But every time he is given the option of siding with Muslims or not, we see which side he chooses.
