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."

The dumbass Kenyan doesn't know a damn thing about our founding fathers. Men who truly sacrificed to form this great nation.
Our founding fathers would be salting the ground with pork to keep the Islam victory monument from being built.
Obama acted Stupidly..
bump for later
The left wants it. That’s why Bloomberg is gushing about the mosque. (I know he’s theoretically a Republican, but he’s the most left-wing nanny-state GOPer around, and in any case he only changed from Dem to GOP because he knew that no Dem could win that year.)
I actually do think this will boost Obama’s standing with the left.
Sounds like govt endorsement of a specific religion.
Just too much temptation for me to resist:
I'll go hide now.
He should keep his mouth shut, just as he shouldn’t have said “the cops acted stupidly”. What a disgrace he is.
Good point.
Silly me. Obama doesn’t even reference the Constitution. He hates it.
Too bad he doesn’t have the cohones to come out and say so, to our face.
In other words Obama wants a victory monument erected praising the death of over 2,000 Americans?
And I suppose he will be a frequent visitor there later on with intention of performing an Islamic prayer.
Also were his very words saying the call to prayer is “the most beautiful sound on earth”, and I presume there may be some loudspeakers with a daily Manhattan “Call to Islamic prayer”.
If not according to the laws of treason its at the very least totally wrong for a President to condone a foreign nations victory upon US soil.
I say blockade the mother, when the construction starts I urge every single American that can and is willing to break a law or two to blockade it, shut it down.
What else would anyone expect? He is a Muslim.
he really is a moron...
he really is a moron...
In the US, Islam is Sedition.
He wants us to be divided. Whites, Christians, Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks. He doesn’t care that he is pitting us against each other. He wants it to happen. So be it. Some effin pResident we got!!!
Then he’ll be all for the Gay bar going up next it!
‘he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”’
To you Mr. Obama since you will never be my president unless you prove your right to be:
My religious freedom says “Thou shalt not kill.” So stop abortion.
My religious freedom says “Thou shalt not steal.” So stop the thefts (from the politicians in Washington) stealing the American people’s money by your lavish parties and lavish spending of our money, from spending money you do not have, living above your means and causing our children to be in the worst debt ever.
My religious freedom says to tell the truth. So stop your lying.
My religious freedom says to do good. So put in end to corruption like organizations like ACORN for one.
My religious freedom says homosexuality is shameful so stop telling me I speak hate language if I stand up for my religion.
I could go on and on.
Your commitment to religious freedom is not unshakable. You lie.
If only he could show such support for the Boy Scouts OF AMERICA.
Can anyone name one thing pro-American Obama has backed? I can’t.
