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?
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.
