President Barack Obama sought to clarify his support for a controversial mosque planned to be built three blocks from the site of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“In this country we treat everybody equally and in accordance with the law, regardless of race, regardless of religion. 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. That’s what our country is about,” Obama, in Panama City Beach for an overnight family vacation, told reporters this afternoon. “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.”
Obama drew fire last night for remarks he made at the White House Ramadan dinner where he said he supported the building of the mosque, which New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also approves.
Prior to meeting with Obama this morning, Gov. Charlie Crist said he agrees with Obama.

Is there any doubt now that “our” president is a closet muslim?
I’m smiling to myself wondering what ole Charlie is going to do now thats hes going to be put out of politics by his own actions...
Too little, too late moon child. You have shown your true colors and you will receive the hand you requested dealt. Viva America, you jackal
Early on, I predicted that Crist’s conversion to an independent would assure Rubio’s victory because Crist and Meeks would split the Dem vote. To me, it looks like that is happening, but of course, it changes from day to day.
Ah yes, the great muslim immigrants who built this country. NOT. Dates, names, times please, Mr. Prez, else I will think you are making that up out of thin air.
Whatever it takes to get rid of Crist and install Rubio. Split that vote, Dems. Please.
Never trust a man who looks like he spends way to much time in front of a mirror
Another great weekend for Obama. LOL! Doing all he can to totally screw his poll numbers and hopefully drag the rest of the Progressive Socialist sleazebags down with him.
You have to wonder why any politician would “agree” with anything Barak Hoover Obama says — because in the next five minutes he is going to deny he said it or deny he meant it.
Holding. Bag.
The guy’s a total jag off. But for pete’s sake, have some freaking conviction for your statements.
Say what you mean and mean what you say !
UGH. Be an A$$hole if you will, but at least don’t be a pu$$y about it. Geez. Effing politicians.
This weekend marks his coming out of the closet.
is anyone in FL going to get enough support to beat crist.who is a lefty...what about mosque in the pentagon
Now that Crist has given Obambi another hug — this time on the Mega Mosque in NYC — I wonder how that will go over with Jewish voters?
Of course, I have never understood why Jews reliably voted Dem anyway.
From your lips to God’s ears!
I think this latest huggie of Obama by Crist is going to hit some of his voters like a ton of bricks. A mosque too far.
It’s sort of the Miley Cyrus syndrome. They have to go to veritable extremes to prove (to themselves) that they weren’t who people thought they were.
