President Obama has "no regrets" about his comments in support of a planned Islamic center near Ground Zero - words that touched off a national political firestorm.

The commander in chief doubled-down on his support of the controversial prayer and community center two blocks from Ground Zero while stumping Wednesday at a townhall-style meeting on the in economy in Ohio.

"The answer is - no regrets," he responded to an inquisitive reporter.

Earlier Wednesday, a published statewide poll suggested most New Yorkers oppose Park51 even though they believe the project is protected by the Constitution.

Ground Zero Mosque dominates news cycle for fifth consecutive day. Only the hard left and the clueless support the mosque. Each day this controversy rages, the more King Hussein loses. No, he has no regrets.

He can’t make up his mind, or he has different messages for each group....

“...he has different messages for each group....”

He always has. This is what I simply never understood about his campaigning before the election. It was quite clear that he *adapted* to each audience.

I am truly gladdened that Stroker has no regrets. So much so, that I think that he really needs to just run with this line.

Go for it, Stroker!

Run, Stroker, run!!

They say that a woman retains the right to change her mind.

Stroker is quite “in touch” with his feminine side, I would guess.

Protected by the Constitution? I doubt if those same New Yorkers have ever read the Constitution. If the Constitution guarantees their right to build a building in NYC and call it a mosque, then that same Constitution guarantees my right to level ever surrounding building and build a giant pig farm. Capisce?

That 63% is for New York, not nationwide...New York is not exactly a bastion of conservatism or “right wing extremists.”

With Pelosi weighing in calling for people to be placed under investigation, they just keep fanning the flames - themselves! Pelosi’s comment creates another issue on top of this issue.

He sure seems to have the mohammedan vote in his pocket on this issue. I’m a Christian and don’t intend to be butchered by Mo’s, and want them to know that it is not like it has been in other countries. Come after me in the name of your ridiculous religion and see if Allah gives a shit when I make things turn out differently than you anticipated.
