President Barack Obama on Saturday sought to defuse the controversy over his remarks on plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero, insisting that he wasn’t endorsing the specific project but making a general plea for religious tolerance toward all.
"In this country we treat everybody equally and in accordance with the law, regardless of race, regardless of religion,” Obama told reporters Saturday when asked about his remarks at a White House dinner marking the start of Ramadan.
“I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,” Obama continued. “I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about. And I think it's very important as difficult as some of these issues are that we stay focused on who we are as a people and what our values are all about."
But his comments Friday night were widely interpreted as an endorsement of plans to build a mosque a few blocks away from where nearly 3,000 Americans perished at the hands of Islamic terrorists on 9/11 – an interpretation the White House hadn't disputed, up until Obama’s comments in Florida. . . .

0bama is doing to America what the 9/11 hijackers did to their victims with box cutters.
It is obvious that the muslim Wun wants the islamists to conquer America like they are doing to Europe and put every one on their knees facing mecca or they will cut off their heads.
He hates white America and wants to see them and Western Civilization killed. He is extremely jealous of their wealth and success and brilliance, especially symbolized by the Jewish intellect.
He is sick and twisted which is obvious by his narcissistic personality and with the sick minds he surrounds himself.
He is a covert homosexual muslim who was deserted by his real father and abused by his stepfather and the pedophile Davis who used the Wun when he was a teenager.....Just saying....I think the president is a sick psychopath and we are in bigger trouble than we think.
he said quite clearly that they have a right to build a place of worship in LOWER MANHATTAN.
Hey politico any other mosques getting built down there?
no STOP COVERING FOR HIM AS YOU YOURSELVES ARE MAKING YOURSELVES LOOK EVEN MORE STUPID THAN YOU ALREADY ARE

Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day.

The resolution died in 1999, thankfully.
They can choose some other "private property" to build their mosque on. The choice was deliberately provacative and poor.

what a lying sack of shiite.
Thats another lie. People of color, gays and unloved incubaters move to the front of the line ahead of white men with more experiance, education and proven work ethic's get shafted because of the color of their skin
BOOM! Smoking effing gun right there.
obama is TRYING to stir up trouble by supporting the mosque. Just THINK of the incredible divide and dissention this thing would cause if it is not only allowed, but will be backed and protected by our own White House.
This is more planned chaos in the making by this administration. We don’t have nearly enough for them yet.
They had to come up with anything. A bunch of losers being herded around by fat cats. They forget that America is freedom of people, not government. Idiots indeed.
” 0bama is doing to America what the 9/11 hijackers did to their victims with box cutters. “
Obama is well on his way to destroying America. He has already set everything in place to destroy our economy. He destroyed the best health care system the world has ever known. Now he will destroy the society by turning one race against another, promote Islam, yet at the same time promote homosexuality. He will turn everyone against everyone else, or at least attempt to.
Not Christmas ...
Too late asshole. We know where your loyalty lies, and it isn’t with this country.
