I think it’s safe to say that President Barack Obama’s speech on the Ground Zero mosque has not been his finest hour. Which is a shame, because it could have been.
The issue was a simple, powerful and emotional one: Does a mosque belong at the edge of our national graveyard within the view of 9/11 families as they mourn?
Unfortunately, Obama once again voted present.
“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the . . . right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”
Not a word about Islam’s unique role in the events of 9/11, no acknowledging that a mosque near the site of the attack would be provocative or insensitive. Instead, merely a defense of Manhattan’s zoning regulations.
FDR gave us “We have nothing to fear but fear itself!”
Ronald Reagan gave us “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
And that great leg-tingling speechifier Barack Obama? “In accordance with local laws and ordinances.”
Despite his best attempts at evasion, however, Obama’s underlying support for the Cordoba Initiative’s project came through. “Obama Backs Islam Center Near 9/11 Site” said The New York Times [NYT]’ front-page headline. The New York Post characterized Obama’s take as “Allah Right By Me.”
So he went back to the mics Saturday and stated that when it comes to confronting the provocation presented by this mosque, he’d opt for cowardice.
“I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,” Obama insisted. “I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding.”
To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, we fight the War on Terror with the...

He does not have the talents or understanding of events to come up with anything off the cuff. He is strictly a shell for the teleprompter crowd to spill stuff into and , I guess, they had not done there homework on this subject. Obviously not.
Now he’s trying to make it a freedom of religion argument which it isn’t. It is a decency issue and he is a coward to question his own religion.
Pray for America
“...and I WILL not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there...”
That just BEGS to be overturned. Let’s hope everyone keeps up the pressure and he has to hand-paddle a little further along the stream.
By the way, has anyone noticed that Imam Rauf looks a lot like Chuck Shumer in a beard? First time I saw Rauf, I thought old Chuck had gone village.
And that great leg-tingling speechifier Barack Obama? “In accordance with local laws and ordinances.”
BO was probably thinking ordnance vice ordinances.
Obama can OBFUSCATE, "backpedal", LIE, and "Walkback" all he wants but it is too late, Obama is nothing short of satanic. On Friday he told the Muslims he had gathered in the PEOPLES house, along with the entire world which side he is really on in the war on terror = America or Islam. He made his choice and sided with Islam over America and told us all that he approves of the MUSLIM 9/11 VICTORY Mosque, that He DOES NOT OBJECT TO IT and that he wants it built at the site of Islam's victory over America. HIS ADMINISTRATION, HIS STATE DEPARTMENT is spending OUR TAXPAYER MONEY TO SEND THE IMAM WHO IS HELL-BENT ON BUILDING THIS MONSTROSITY ALL OVER THE
I S L A M I C WORLD
TO RAISE MONEY TO BUILD THE 9/11 VICTORY MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO IN ORDER TO HUMILIATE ALL OF AMERICA!
The words Obama said on Friday in support of this abomination he agreed to and proclaimed before all of those assembled and before the entire world OF HIS OWN FREE WILL. (For him to now be saying that he did not mean what he said is ridiculous.)
Obama is nothing but a liar following Satan, the Father of lies! He is not to be trusted, he is to be opposed and no matter what the "White House" says, we must all remember that according to taqqiya it is completely "kosher" in Islam for Muslims to LIE in order to deceive those who do not follow Islam = i.e., the "infidels", in order to gain your ultimate ends of conquest and total subjugation. That is exactly what Obama the closet Marxist Muslim is doing = lying in order to deceive America and Americans.
The problem is this; with his statement on Friday Obama COMPLETELY and PERMANENTLY BROKE FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA! He once and for all told America and the World exactly which side he is on: He supports Islam and the enemies of the United States both at home and abroad. We have him speaking these words, on video. He can lie and obfuscate and try to "backpedal" all he wants, but it is too late, he cannot undo what he has done;
Obama didn't just "spit it the eye of America;" he pulled down his pants in front of the entire country and world, squatted on the hallowed 9/11/01 Ground Zero site and took a huge PUBLIC DUMP UPON GROUND ZERO AND UPON ALL OF AMERICA! After he was done, he got up, pulled up his pants, smiled, his narcissistic smile at the camera and said: "This is where I stand regarding America, Islam and Ground Zero."
With this ONE statement, this ONE act, Obama has committed the unpardonable sin: He has chosen to side with ISLAM and the ENEMIES OF AMERICA who want to destroy America and turn it into an Islamic State! It will NOT be forgiven or forgotten and it is indelibly etched in the collective memory and history of Americans and America. No matter what Obama says or what he does from here on out he CANNOT UNDO WHAT HE HAS SAID AND DONE.
Obama is Satan's servant = totally anti-American, anti-Semitic and filled with the spirit of antichrist.
