Did he really say that, ver batim? WE??

If so, that’s a virtual admission of who he identifies with.

Yes, but it was in a context of "we" as "Americans". He said something like "if we can build a church on the site, or a synagogue on the site or a Quickee Mart on the site, then we should be able to build a mosque on the site."

He also threw in a superfluous reference to "my Christian faith". You know. So you don't think he's a Muslim or something.

Obama was speaking about how we should be tolerant of other people's religions before he ended it with THAT comment.

It was more like a Kumbaya moment. He's dangerous.

Here is Obama's quote today..per NYT

Washington - President Obama gave an emotional defense Friday of the right to practice Islam in the U.S. and build a controversial mosque near Ground Zero.

"This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal, that they have certain inalienable rights," Obama said, citing the Declaration of Independence. "One of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely.

"And what that means is that if you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on the site."

"Now I recognize there are extraordinary sensibilities around 9/11," Obama added, but "we are not at war against Islam. We are at war against the terrorist organizations who have distorted Islam".
