VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. — The White House says President Barack Obama will have no further comment on the mosque near Ground Zero in New York and the administration will not get involved in talks about relocating the controversial facility. Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton was asked about the issue Tuesday at a White House press briefing. He replied, "No, and no" to the questions of whether Obama would weigh in further, or whether the White House would have a role in discussions about moving the mosque.

[Mr. K]

Now THAT’s leadership!

[rogue yam]

I am disappoint.

[Howie66]

The WH will issue a clarification of this position, tomorrow. With another clarification expected some time on the following day.

[marron]

He will, however, pay for the fundraising trip with taxpayer dollars.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

No problem ... they don't need to COMMENT on it, they now OWN the issue! The Patriot's Flag - The "Tar Baby Mosque"

[Nachum]

Yeppers. It’s all theirs.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Too much too little too late,

[Gabrial]

Go ahead and pout in your room. Adults will handle this.

[SoldierDad]

It’s actually the most prudent thing he’s done since getting elected.

This would be the ONLY prudent thing Obozo's done since Nov 2008.

[Berlin_Freeper]

What happened to the happy vigorous debate??

[Eroteme]

So sayeth the Caliph, so it is decreed.

Perhaps Obama is not familiar how this country is supposed to be run. We have a curious custom in which Presidents and their toady factotums are answerable to the people. They do not rule. They do not tell the people to sit down and shut up. They lead.

Keep it up, Your Smugness. This is far more informative about who you really are and what you think than anything you could ever say.

[Cheerio]

He MEANT to say it and p$$s-off the whole country!

He absolutely loves a good crisis - it takes our minds off the bad economic and election news they are suffering under.

I’m glad nobama decided to shut his trap.

I’m amazed he’s able to do it.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I guess Zero may have finally learned that is it better to keep his mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open his mouth and remove all doubt.

[LostInBayport]

I’m glad nobama decided to shut his trap. I’m amazed he’s able to do it.

I don't think anyone that narcissistic can. I bet within a week or two Barry O will sit down with one of his lefty boot lickers in a "one on one" interview and a carefully worded question will be met with an even more carefully parsed, focus-group-tested pile of mush that will be dutifully parroted by all of the other lefty boot lickers for another week.

I bet it will be Georgy Stephanopoulous, who will be quick to chime in with a correction in case Barry mentions his "muslim faith" again.

[Iron Munro]

After all, sticking both feet in your mouth should suffice.

And he looks a helluva lot better this way.

[hal ogen]

If anyone who voted for nobama reads this, please apologize to the next 100 people you see.

[TigersEye]

0baMao has said all he needs to say to create a divisive atmosphere. If the issue looks like it’s going to be ironed out in favor of popular opinion he may jump in and screw it up again.
