WASHINGTON - Democrats complain they were blindsided when President Obama weighed in on the Ground Zero mosque and handed the GOP a new club to beat them with.

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has spent three days on the phone doing damage control with angry Democrats and urging them not to go public against the President, Democratic sources said.
Obama went ahead with the Ramadan dinner remarks even though his top political advisers had not reached a consensus on what he should do. Emanuel was one of the skeptics.

Arguably.
OTOH, Clinton, by executive order, granted Scientology tax exempt status for the fees they charge.
Obama keeps saying Constitutional Right for this land to be purchased but didn’t the Supreme Court take away that right with Eminent Domain?
That also should be stopped. It is not a religion. It is basically a counseling service and money raiser.
FLASHBACK:
"The McCains and Obama at Ground Zero
Cindy McCain is also there. Michelle Obama is not"
Does it make any practical difference politically in New York WHAT Obama says? New Yorkers who vote Democrat will continue to vote Democrat. And that’s most of them.
Old muslim saying: First we kill all the Saturday people (Jews), Then all the Sunday people (Christians).
Leaving unsaid: "... then the Hindus, then the Buddhists, then the Taoist, Confucianists, Animist, Pagens, Sikhs, Rastafarians, Universal Unitarians...
...and then we can follow that up with anyone who is not mulsim enough"
It's a Universal Death Cult.
Aw stop it!
I 'm getting all misty
I'm crying too.
Because the GOP will be soooooo concerned with "playing nice" and not being called "bad names" they wont touch it.
Wiccans were not granted special privileges to be Armed Forces Chaplins, they were treated (properly IMHO) just like members of any other belief system, that is equally, without preference, on a level playing field.
Bubbah granted Scientology special and unprecedented privilege, tax exempt status for FEES (not donations, fees) effectively establishing a them as a State-preferred religion.
