One of the leading groups representing families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks blasted President Barack Obama Saturday for supporting the construction of a mosque near the site of the attack.
The group 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America said it was "stunned" by the president's remarks.
Obama "has abandoned America at the place where America's heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see," the group said.
"Now this president declares that the victims of 9/11 and their families must bear another burden. We must stand silent at the last place in America where 9/11 is still remembered with reverence or risk being called religious bigots."

Building the mosque "is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah," the group claimed.
Several prominent Republican leaders on Saturday also attacked Obama’s speech and suggested the motive behind the mosque was deliberately provocative.
"He is ignoring the will of the American public," former Sen. Rick Santorum, who represented Pennsylvania in the Senate, told Fox News on Friday. The community center would "desecrate the ground of those who were murdered by people who practice the faith, or at least an element of the faith, that is being represented by that mosque."
"Islam is not just a religion, it is also a political doctrine," Santorum said. Ahead of the dinner talk, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin asked on her Twitter account: "Will Obama express US lingering pain & ask Muslims for tolerance by discouraging 9/11 mosque while he celebrates Islamic holy month tonight?" Both she and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich have said the mosque should not be built.
Later she re-Tweeted without comment a headline about Obama's mosque endorsement.

BUMP. IMO he is now letting his true intentions known since he has nothing to lose. He is an enemy of the State.
Yes, and I am afraid when they find me I will be one of the many to just disappear or they might find my headless body floating around somewhere. I am afraid we have some really evil people trying to ruin this great nation and they are everywhere.
>> I am CRYING for America.
We will get through this.

Well, we can go further than thevworst president ever, we can say he is the worst degenerate ever!
He is not our President.
He is not an American.
He is the enemy within. Destroy him and all he represents.
That's what I would have inscribed on it if I had lost a loved one in the towers.
Thanks, pat!
Great info that will forwarded to every one of my friends via email.
I would have responded earlier, but we just got home from an emergency run to the vet (50 miles one way).
