Obama Supports Mosque at Ground Zero
More wisdom and elitist attitude from our most liberal president. Even the NY Times is desperately sending smoke signals to its golden boy to stay away from this issue: See, “With Remarks on Mosque, Obama Enters Risky Debate.” I’m reminded of the old political saying, “When you opponent is self-destructing, he doesn’t need your help.” I thing we are at the point where we just need to step back and watch Obama fall.
Here is another article to read featuring none other than Florida Governor Charlie Crist weighing in to support Obama: Washington Times, “Obama Supports Right to Mosque”

Boehner Statement on Construction of Mosque Near Ground Zero
Washington (Aug 14)
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement regarding President Obama's endorsement of the construction of a mosque near the site of the 9/11 attacks in lower Manhattan:
"The decision to build this mosque so close to Ground Zero is deeply troubling, as is the president's decision to endorse it. The American people certainly don't support it.
"The fact that someone has the right to do something doesn't necessarily make it the right thing to do. That is the essence of tolerance, peace and understanding. This is not an issue of law, whether religious freedom or local zoning. This is a basic issue of respect for a tragic moment in our history.

Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said on Fox News Sunday that Obama's comments showed a disconnect with average Americans who want to be listened to, not lectured to.
"The American people will render their verdict," Cornyn said.
Obama said Friday night that Muslims have the right to build a mosque in lower Manhattan, a few blocks from ground zero. Obama said America's "commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable."
Cornyn said the decision on whether to allow a mosque on the site was, as Obama stated, a local issue. But Cornyn suggested Obama's comments went to far.
Cornyn also said he wanted to hear from New York's two Democratic Senators on the issue.” Read More...
