Embracing the Ground Zero mosque? The vacationer-in-chief is puzzling the world. Why is all this self-destructive behavior from Barack Obama? Here is an idea: maybe it is about giving a chance to democrats in conservative districts to distance themselves from the President without offending the liberal base.
Remember Rev. Wright? The radical pastor’s sermons were about to cost candidate Obama the democratic primary in 2008. Then something interesting happened. Rev Wright scheduled appearance in the National press-club... The pastor stood up in front of the cameras and made sure the judges from the mainstream media give him the ‘insanity verdict’. Rev. Wright masterfully worked the audience throwing at them ridiculous stereotypes, mixing it with beeb-bop sounds and helicopter hand movements.
It reminded me of the mafia comedy ‘Analyze That’ where Robert De Niro was a mobster trying to get out of jail singing ‘You’re so pretty’... just to get a note from the psychiatrist Billy Crystal. Robert De Niro received his note; despite the fact that both the psychiatrist and the authorities knew he was faking it.
And so did Rev. Wright. The media gave him the insanity label for the charade and the candidate Obama was free to distance himself from his mentor without offending his African-American base... From that moment on the ‘Rev. Wright issue’ was over for Obama and he proceeded to claim the Oval Office.
Fast forward to 2010. The few special elections this year proved for Democrats that the winning strategy for those of them running in conservative districts is to run as far away from Obama as possible.

Actually, when I get conspiratorial on this one, I suspect that a “compromise” is already in the works. Obama knows that his buds at Cordoba foundation are willing to move the thing three blocks; or make it 6 stories instead of 19. Or something like that.
He’s going to swoop in during the month before the election and broker a “compromise” that will defuse things long enough until after November.
Are the Muslims are allowed to drink beer? What kind of summit will the One be holding this time?
Nope. I really do believe Rev. Wright was/is as crazy as he seems to be. Plus, he was enjoying his time in the spotlight and was willing to do anything to extend his fifteen minutes.
And I really do believe Obama is as dumb as he seems to be.
The narcissist Obama sacrificing himself for the sake of blue dogs????
Dream on!
I think Wright did a buffoonery for the reporters in the name of the cause.
Obama is incompetent anyway - he probably can’t wait to get out of the WH and get richer and go around the world as some kind of Mandela. So it is not a big deal for him to throw liberal loonacy around.
Your theory makes good sense. This whole thing might be of like the story of Brer Rabbit: “Don’t throw my mosque into the rabbit patch that’s not near ground zero exactly.” This way with the sure to have been anticipated opposition to a ground zero mosque, they’ll garner big bucks from govt and the private sector in payoff money to build a mosque further away. And with it all, they’ll come off as magnamimous for “moving” it.
Do you think they will move it? The whole point of the place for them is that the landing gear marked it. They were hoping it will bring them visitors and money from all kind of crazies. They will probably only agree to relocate if they can take the roof with them.
“And I really do believe Obama is as dumb as he seems to be.”
I have suspected that since I first heard this idiot speak. I find myself being less impressed every day since.
“narcissist Obama”
Note the picture. Does he take that mirror with him on Air Force 1 where ever he goes? I mean, he never saw a mirror he did not like.
