The only reason I could see this happening is that Obama is more valuable to them than the mosque. Because of his statements Obama and his Democrat cohorts were going to be impaled on this issue. By moving the mosque they remove the issue, and save Obama and the Dems.

That being said I will believe it when I see it.

You said it before I could. But at this point I hope it is not true. I don’t want Obambi and the Dems given an out on this. I want them to state their position on this clearly.

“By moving the Mosque they remove the issue”.
Well, that’s what they think.
It has only gotten this far because they’ve controlled the
terms of the argument, and set the parameters of discourse
on the issue. The proposal of putting ‘Cordoba House’ so close to Ground Zero should have been hooted off the stage a thousand times more loudly than it was: NOW the issue is cast in a more ‘reasonable’ mode, namely, “put it somewhere else”. This to me is equally unacceptable, and from what I’ve heard, is also unacceptable to Imam Rauf.
The NEW issue, going forward, will be to battle the same kind of Islamic Center being built ANYWHERE in New York.Knowing what the original designs for Cordoba House were, why would a new location be any different, except for the ‘loss’ of the overpowering symbolism of putting it at Ground Zero? I can assure you of ONE THING, and that is that this Mosque will NEVER be built at the proposed site:
I live very close to NYC in New Jersey, and this issue is
becoming CENTRAL to everyone running for offices high and low in New York City and New York State.
The problem is, we’ve allowed them to frame the argument thus far-——will we have the nerve to take it to a higher level, and set our OWN terms for this unfortunate and entirely unnecessary “dialogue” with Islam?
