Additionally it further splits Americans and almost requires them to take sides. Mr. Obama is a professional splitter and further division and fragmentation is the last thing America needs at this time.
The fact is the whole issue consists of opinions and one person's guess is as good is the next and it is a terrible thing to waste time on a bunch of opinions which may or may not be correct and even if one side of the other proves correct we can all be sure there will be unintended consequences which we can ill afford.
And the best part of the mess is that there is no way on earth that any one can reasonably predict the outcome----so why in the world should anyone except New Yorkers waste precious time?
If our poor president was not such a narcissist throwing caution to the wind in order to get "face time" and or "air space" he should have had the brains to know this is the kind of battle that hangs men on their own petards.
I wonder if his entering the fray might just be his Waterloo and truly Divine Intervention.
It’s tempting to look at Obama’s actions as trying to create division, but I think that’s giving him too much credit. He has his Marxist agenda, but beyond that his decisions have proven to be wrong time and again. You could attribute it to inexperience, bad advisers, or lack of a real education in the American experience. He doesn’t want to alienate voters, he just doesn’t know how not to. His beliefs and values are out of sync with non-Marxists and he relies on those beliefs to make decisions. Making decisions is hard for Obama. He is slow in making them and always tries to hedge his bets.
Here’s what he could have said- Muslims, members of your faith declared war on America and attacked our country on 9/11. These attacks were made in the name of Islam. Muslim communities either erupted into celebration of the attack, or had to be restrained by their governments from showing too much approval. Over 3000 people were killed in the attacks on our country. The people who planned these attacks were given refuge by other Muslims. Nearly ten years later, these men are still being hidden from justice. The Koran says that these men should be punished for killing innocent people including other Muslims. We consider that the state of war declared by the attackers still exists and will continue to exist until Muslims surrender the planners of the 9-11 attacks and cease all attacks on Western Civilization.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans lost friends or relatives in those attacks. Millions of people worldwide were affected by them. Construction of a mosque on property that was damaged in the attack at the World Trade Center will not heal the wounds caused. There is unfinished business that must be taken care of, the surrender of the attackers and the halting of hostility against the United States. Until that occurs, we remain at war.
