Obama undaunted by fallout from mosque remarks

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President Barack Obama isn't worried about the furor unleashed by his comments on a planned mosque near Ground Zero, a spokesman said Tuesday.

He's also not dismayed that the Senate's top Democrat, Majority Leader Harry Reid, now opposes the idea, deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said.

"This is an issue people are going to come to with strongly held convictions," Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One, as Obama flew to an appearance in Seattle. "He's happy our thriving democracy is continuing to produce vigorous debate."

This article says two things he does not care and that it is the ONLY political back paddling he can do at this stage.

[LoneStarGI]

Of course he’s undaunted. This event is just another example of how this ‘manchild’ lives completely isolated within his own small delusional bubble. The man does not care what anyone says or warns, he will do what he wants to do, damn the results or fallout.

“I’m not even American and I’m offended, not to mention pissed off.”

Weren’t there quite a few Canadians, Brits, in the Twin Towers?

Plenty to be pissed off about—that is the Muslim attack on “us.”

[Spunky]

"Obama is "happy" about the mosque."

In the below video Stephenopolis jumped in to correct him, but this admission was stated strongly and clearly to have been just a mistake.

"He's happy our thriving democracy is continuing to produce vigorous debate."

Dumbing the public down enough to believe this nation is a "democracy" is key to his arrogance.

His minions are quietly chipping away at the Electoral College which keeps us from the mob rule Socialists who take from those who earn it and give to those who don't depend upon for their power...until they run out of OPM, of course.

[FrankR]

Yeah, right...like I believe that crap; the AP is such an apologist crowd for the Won.

"Undaunted" people don't run out and scramble to 'clarify' his/her remarks like he did...this thin-skinned, narcisstic MF is falling all over himself to cover this one up.

A lot of his lefty comrads are really pissed at him about this gaffe.

If you listen to his original speech at the White House rahmadan dinner, you can tell oblammo is well schooled in the ways of islam...he's one of them.

Does anyone know if the White House has a "passover" dinner, or an "Easter dinner"? Seems to me that is a violation of their beloved "separation of Church and State" fanaticism. Where's the cross-burning, Ten Commandment censoring ACLU in all of this...either islam is a religion, or it isn't.

If it is a religion, then the government should back off from it...if it is NOT a religion, then they DON'T have a right to build the mosque near the GZ site.

The Constitution wasn't composed in Microsoft Word...you can't "cut and paste" it to suit your current needs.

Nice sharp uptick in the red "sucks" trend:

THIS IS OUT AND OUT WAR, FOLKS.

THIS BASTARD SOCIALIST/MUSLIM MUST BE CRUSHED.

SEND OUT EVERY ARTICLE YOU FIND WITH OBAMA’S SUPPORT OF MUSLIMS/MOSQUES TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE YOU KNOW. SEND OUT VIDEOS OF EVERY OBAMA COMMENT ON SOCIALISM, MUSLIMS, MOSQUES TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE YOU KNOW.

THE WORD MUST GET OUT TO EVERYONE...EITHER WE STAND UP AGAINST THE SOCIALIST/MUSLIM ENEMY FIGHTING US ON OUR OWN SHORES, OR WE ARE DOOMED TO BOW TO THEM.

SO, WHICH IS IT?

WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO THINK TWICE AS TO WHAT OUR ANSWER WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WORLD WAR II, WHEN THE JAPANESE BOMBED PEARL HARBOUR. MEN AND WOMEN LINED UP TO SIGN UP AND FIGHT. MOTHERS, CHILDREN AND SENIOR SENIORS WERE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND AT HOME AND WORKED TOGETHER IN ANY AND EVERY WAY POSSIBLE TO LEND SUPPORT AND FIGHT THE ENEMY.

KEEP POUNDING AWAY AT THESE DAMNED SOCIALISTS AND MUSLIMS IN EVERY WAY YOU CAN. SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM DESTRUCITON WITH EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT. ORGANIZE WITH RELATIVES, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, ORGANIZATIONS AND PUSH FORWARD...WORK YOUR FINGERS AND BACKS TO THE BONE IF NECESSARY...WE-ARE-AT-WAR!

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ALL WHO LOVE HER.

I say let’s boycott NY.

[crosshairs]

Obama doesn’t care. The only time he cares is if his narcissism takes a hit. Outrage towards him means nothing. However, mock him and then he cares.

[CitizenM]

However, Burton said Obama didn't’ consider the politics of his remarks...

Isn't a president SUPPOSED to consider the politics of his remarks, all the time? Isn't that the most important part of his job - tact, diplomacy, and an understanding of what the MAJORITY OF Americans want?

This is but another attempt by his handlers to make excuses for Odumbo screwing up, by trying to make it seem unimportant that he knows what to do and how to do it. Seems like they keep doing that for him. In essence, they keep telling the world that he "misspoke," after he has spoken. They know he will never fill the chair in the Oval office, never be able to get a grasp on his duties, or perform them like a big boy should BECAUSE he has no ability to do so. He is a sorry, sad, wreck of a president with no leadership qualities, no administrative experience, no negotiating skills, and no record for achieving anything significant. He only knows how to try and push or ram down our throats his own agenda and read aloud what someone else scripted for him.

If he goes off script and left to insert his own comments, on his own, without constant supervision and handlers/teleprompters feeding him words, Odumbo keeps proving that he is the most stupid, immature, insensitive, out of touch with the majority, phony and untruthful person ever in the WH and...DEFINATELY NOT A LEADER.

A president who ignores the majority, is ignoring Democracy...the rule of and basis for governing our Republic. A man not worthy of the title of "President" who finds the job surely above his intelligence level.

[Enchante]

oh, yeah, he’s so “undaunted” that he immediately started weaseling around over the weekend

really he’s just trying to play the double-game of promoting the left wing and Islamo-fascist agendas while pretending (to those who are hopelessly stupid or dishonest) that he really isn’t the anti-American 5th column we know him to be

[Cold Heart]

Didn’t they get away with building a “victory mosque” where flight #73 went down?

[MrB]

Flight 93 -

yes, the memorial built on the crash site was an Islamic crescent and was oriented towards Mecca.

[Outlaw Woman]

I read a column..yesterday (been reading so much about this can’t remember where) but it was written by a muslim who said that they gorge themselves prior to starting the daily observance and then again at night when that day’s observance is over. Such a purifying ritual /s

[Vaquero]

How ‘Pius’.

[tet68]

Obama happy over, “Let’s you and him fight!” comments.

[CanaGuy]

=============================================

President Mickey Mosque....strikes again!

=============================================

[Chaguito]

Wow, what an earthshaking article. Obama “undaunted.” Did anyone believe he would report, “I’m really daunted by the reaction to my comments...”? Dog bites man.

If he was so undaunted, why did he wade back into the doo-doo to “clarify” his remarks?

I hate the AP
