Speaking to reporters today, President Obama drew a sharp line under his comments last night, insisting that his defense of the right to build a mosque does not mean he supports the project.
“I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding,” he said.
Obama’s new stance is logically consistent with his words last night, if a bit less “clarion,” as Mike Bloomberg called the first remarks. And there are certainly two possible stances here: Bloomberg’s, that the Cordoba project itself represents the best of America; and Obama’s, that the freedom of religion is an important American value.

Sounds like someone did some overnight polling and got an earful (and then some).
Sorry Barry, you can’t take back what you said. We all know why he is backtracking, he saw the poll numbers going down the toilet and said “Oh no I am so screwed, better blame this on the teleprompter” Obama favors the Muslims because he is one
Sorry, Dude! It ain’t a virgin candle once the wick is lit.
It is too late for the BArry bastard, the mosque is now to hereafter be known as Obamosque.
3 Attendees at dinner per Frank Gaffney:
Ingrid Mattson heads the largest Muslim Brotherhood front in the country, the Islamic Society of North America. ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in the biggest terrorism financing trial in the nation’s history and was identified as a Brotherhood “associated or friendly” group in documents introduced as evidence uncontested in that Holy Land Foundation prosecution. Ms. Mattson now presides over the selection, training and certification of Muslim chaplains for the U.S. military and prison system – interestingly, a job formerly in the hands of Muslim Brother Abdurahman Alamoudi, the founder and first head of the American Muslim Council, who is currently serving a 23-year sentence on terrorism charges.
Salam Al-Marayati is president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). In 1999, then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt withdrew his nomination of Al-Marayati to a leadership position on the National Commission on Terrorism when it became public that Al-Marayati claimed that the terrorist group, Hezbollah, was a legitimate organization and has the right to attack the Israeli Army.
Dalia Mogahed runs the insidious Gallup Center for Muslim Studies and advises President Obama on Muslim affairs as a member of the President’s Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. In an October 2009 interview with the London Telegraph, she made the following astounding assertions: “I think the reason so many women support shariah is because they have a very different understanding of shariah than the common perception in Western media.” “The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with shariah compliance.” “The portrayal of shariah has been oversimplified in many cases.”
He is a f*****g muslim liar. I guess his Saudi bosses were upset. Some idiots on FR think the Saudis are “our” frends. Stupid sheep who watch TV and support Islam by watching it.
It’s all about Islamification folks - wake up. It happened in the Uk and is happening here. TV just keeps you a boiling frog because ALL of TV is supporting it including FOx - sheeple.
It was a Ramadan dinner and 0bongo got carried away by seeing all those fine Muslim bruvas he was breaking bread with. Bongo got carried away and said how much he supported their Mosque. He didn’t really mean it oh no no no no
That’s OK BO/BS. We didn’t mean to expose the fact you are illegally holding office because you do not fulfill the natural born citizenship requirement in Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution. Nor will we mean it in the future so don’t you worry.
He needs to find the old Clinton spin-doctors to better explain his position to us.
Obama is a MUslim and his support for a pigslum at the 911 site proves it.
Hey Zero!
Let’s see you blame this one on Bush.
Is this on Drudge now!?!
In the words of Joe Wilson.....YOU LIE!!
I'd suggest that Zer0 is in frequent touch with his inner Jihadist through his second sharkra.
Not only did he say they have a right to build it, he said where they can build it.
Quit trying to hide, Barry, you muslim.
Typical Obummer... he’s so loose he’d probably recant his religion if it were advantageous. Wait, he already did that, didn’t he?
The Liar-in-chief is lying again. Of course, he wants islam to be the majority religion in the US and he can’t wait until he sees whitey kneeling down to mecca. He hates Western Civilization and especially white heterosexual men like Winston Churchill.
He is a closet homosexual muslim and he is gradually exposing his real agenda (DADT/Sharia-Kagan/MosquesinUSA). Larry Sinclair and many others tried to warn us but the majority of public school graduates have been brainwashed by Ayers type socialist curricula.
He is a sick twisted psychopath.
