Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "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, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "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. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

We need RECALL and REFERENDUM on the Constitution.

This bastard needs to be impeached. Again and again he DEFIES the will of the majority of Americans.

I hope the public is FINALLY getting it.

Obama is a MARXIST MUSLIM who in all likelihood is not an American citizen by birth but a foreign national who hates America, western civilization and non-Islamic religions.

He is a total disgrace and unfit for the office he has polluted.

Obama has rekindled feelings of 9/11.... so raw, so powerful, by wading into this Ground Zero controversy and taking sides [even against the majority of NYers via polls]; that I truly believe, makes him the most hated politician in America.

Keep it up Obama, and there will never be a Democrat re-elected.

You foolish folks out there just don’t get it. POTUS Barack Hussein Obama hates America and his doing his utmost along with the Democrat Party to destroy America. He cares not one bit about all those innocents that died on 9/11/2001, He cares not one iota for the innocents, for the police, for the firemen, for the first responders, for the Whites, the Blacks, the Hispanics, the Asians, scores of foreign people, for the poor souls onboard the doomed aircraft. He cares only for the Muslim suicide pilots that violated and destroyed so many American and Foreign innocent lives. Ladies and Gentlemen of all creeds, colors and religion, this man cares nothing about America, her future, her destiny!!! You all best join together to destroy the Democrat Party in total on November 2, 2010, Election Day and with the complete and total destruction of the Democrat “traitor” party the dismissal of America hating, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama will follow shortly theresfter!!!

"President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero".

This is a VICTORY for the ISLAMIC terrorists, who attacked us IN THE NAME OF ISLAM. Obama keeps ignoring that FACT.

This statement is likely a follow-up to his wife's morale tour to Muslim-land in Spain.

It will enourage all those who want the world Caliphate re-instated. His poll numbers in Andalusia are going way up, but in NYC they are going to drop.

This is appalling. I really don’t know what to say. Perhaps the President should take up Islam and return to Indonesia.

Places of worship are permitted or not permitted in every township in America depending on local customs and laws. This is not a first Amendment issue, but a development zoning issue. We don’t generally allow the building on top of cemeteries.
