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."

"Bloomberg and the other supporters of this mosque are spiritual heirs of Lotte and those millions of victims, seemingly ready to accept their fate"-- Peter Gadiel, whose 23-year-old son, James, was killed on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11, is president of 9/11 Families for a Secure America ." [I will continue to repost this quote}
...and on August 13, 2010 ....."Obama Backs Rights of Muslims on Center Near Ground Zero .." using a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan to proclaim that “as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”
The project is slated to begin on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
We will see about that, first they have to own both properties and as of this date they still do not. I have such utter disgust for this President...!!!
That right there.... is a beautiful line in the sand. He’s on one side and the majority of Americans are on the other.
That traitor bastard, Obama, can’t move away from this now... he owns it.
The First Sharian Pres__ent of the US.. while it still exists anyway.
any doubts as to his agenda are clear.
Whoa. We got bigger problems than that mosque after watching that video.
Of course he backs it...would FINALLY give him a home church...
Was this before or after they slaughtered the sheep in the
State Dining Room ?
This is way beyond politically tone deaf ,
it’s an aggressive poke in the eye to all Americans
and a wet kiss to the Muslim world.
Last week, Gibberish said the Soetero /Subarkah administration felt it was a local issue.
Now, Barry is practically helping the Imam break ground.
Every Democrat , especially those running in November ,
should be forced to state whether they agree with the leader of their party about the Ground Zero desecration.
What’s next ?
Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery is where the soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried.
It’s called the saddest acre in America.
If the Muslims want to build mosque there-I have no doubt Barry will bless their efforts.
I am thrilled that someone besides me knows the place of his birth.

“And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”
Liar! But then, Mrs. Hussein-obama said we must change our history.
Official word as of last week was that it was “a local matter”.I really didn’t expect even Obama to come out this way before Nov 2. He has just cut his own throat. NOW there is no mistaking that the Obama Agenda is the Imam Rauf agenda. If there are any still on the fence, they just fell off on the wrong side for Oblahblah. Our job is now so much easier.

Someone needs to post the photo of G W Bush with the bullhorn at the Tower site along with a photo of obama stating this....side by side.
The man is now officially a traitor. He’s giving aid and comfort to our enemies and his impeachment is way overdue.
Can they at least put Michelle Antoinette in a Burka..she can even wear a boob belt.
He just couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
He is a disgrace.
He is “perfectly possessed”. Look it up.
A mosque at Ground Zero would not only be a symbol of victory for Islam, but for Zero, and his followers as well.
We have to make damned certain their mosque project ends in failure. We have to make certain November is the beginning of the end of this whole fugly picture the Left has painted on our walls.
Amazing list. I believe he is muslim but how does this fit in with his black liberation theology ties? I don’t get it.
He is evil... and I am very happy to see others say so.
