Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero

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."

But what convinced me was the myterious movement of a painting that had been in the same place through 16 years of Presidency..only to be moved when Obama came in for the photo op

Are you ever going to identify who was in the painting or leave us guessing?

The real question is whether or not we’ll ever see those White House pictures of O with his skinny ass in the air, forehead on the floor, facing east...

"when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.

For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

He has outed himself as a muslim community organizer.

What’s next? A neo-NAZI night club next to Auschwitz?

Why don’t they clear the fences away from ground zero so they can dance on the pulverized remains of the Americans they murdered?

It’s worth a war to me, but today’s American is far more tolerant of being spat upon by foreign and domestic enemies than I.

Thanks, I didn’t realize Bloomie was an indie. Not that it matters what he is, with his bucks...he seems to be able to fund his own campaigns without even breaking a sweat.

Speaking of the constitution....I turned on TV early this morn and some morning show was on. I don’t know what it was but Joe Scarborough was on it. Dang, I thought he was a Republican.

All I heard was the woman saying how brave Obama is to take a stand on this matter cause, as she so delicately phrased it as part of the Ruling Class she obviously is...”there’s so many people out there for which the constitution means nothing...” at which point I changed the channel.

Boom, just like that she condemns the way vast majority and there’s Joe Scarborough bobbing head agreeing.

This is going to really hurt Obama.

Let us build a church in Saudi Arabia then we’ll talk about freedom of religion.

But ask me about all the anti-American things he's backed since being in office, and my fingers will get tired of typing.

BHO, the first (and hopefully the last) post-American President.

They gave us a great line in the Marine Corps song, the part about Tripoli.

So true.

Simple question: How many muslims actually live in lower Manhattan to justify building a $100 Million mosque there?

A thousand perhaps?

Why isn’t anyone asking this basic question, one which clearly shows muslims are doing this as an “in your face” response.

i have NO IDEA why Obama would a) step into the middle of this; and b) support the mosque being built there. This is downright stupid.

Agreed. Does he dismiss his advisors completely? Does he have advisors? Do they have a tin ear to politics? What exactly is going on here?
