Democrat US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Breaks With Obama and Says Mosque Should be Built Some Where Else
President Barack Hussein Obama’s comments on the defence of building o mosque near Ground Zero in NYC has caused Democrats to run for the exits away from Obama if they dare even think of having a chance in this Fall’s midterm elections. Democrats cannot flee from Obama fast enough.
Reid to Obama: You said what!!!!
What Democrat wants to be a part of apolitical ad that has them agreeing with the terror group Hamas when it comes to building a mosque near Ground Zero?
How extreme and out of touch with the American public is President Barack Hussein Obama’s position on the building of a mosque near Ground Zero in NYC, even Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid is breaking ranks with The Chosen One. Reid basically believes, as most every one, that the group has a legal right to build the mosque near Ground Zero; however, the Muslim group is wrong to exercise that right.
Obama claims to try to bring individuals together and claims to try and bridge the divide between Americans and the Muslim world, yet this amateurish President has any made things worse and upset all sides. How Obama cannot be a leader and adopt the principles of House Republican Leader John A. Boehner shows how little this President has an understanding of leadership.

Democrats Outraged Over Obama’s Comments on Mosque at Ground Zero in NYC
Barack Obama. Lost in Smallness, once again Barack Hussein Obama proves to be “TOXIC” to Democrats. Who said Obama was a “Great Communicator”?
No sooner did the words come out of PresidentBarack Hussein Obama’s mouth Friday night at a White House dinner honoring the beginning of the the Islamic Holy month Of Ramadan, where ”The One” supported the right for a mosque to be built near Ground Zero in NYC, that the outrage from Republicans and more notably Democrats ensued. Democrats are now outraged and concerned that Obama’s mosque comments have now forced them into the national political debate over a mosque being built near Ground Zero. Democrats must now defend how a President agrees with only 20% of the American people.
Drip, drip, drip … Obama may just have cost Democrats more seats in the House , Senate and Governor’s races.
Obama’s comments placed him in the middle of the controversy over a Muslim group’s plans for a mosque near the site of the 2001 attack — and in turn, transformed an emotion-laden local dispute in New York into a nationwide debate overnight.
And Democrats — at least some who were willing to comment — could barely contain their frustration over Obama’s remarks, saying he had potentially placed every one of their candidates into the middle of the debate by giving GOP candidates a chance to ask them point-blank: Do you agree with Obama on the mosque, or not?
That could be particularly damaging to moderate Democrats in conservative-leaning districts, already 2010’s most vulnerable contenders.
Barack Obama then contradicted himself from Friday nights comments by saying he was only commenting on the right to build a mosque, not the wisdom in doing so. Really, were not we told that Barack Hussein Obama was a great communicator and orator like Reagan and Lincoln? Without a prepared speech or teleprompter, seems like this President is a lost soul. As NROpoints out, Obama’s mosque comments may be the dumbest thing ever said since Dukakis and flag burning.
But on Saturday, Obama seemed to contradict himself, telling reporters at one point, “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. 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.”
Teachable moment? For who, Obama? US Rep Martin Frost (TX-D) was not at a lost for words discussing Obama and his ill advised comments. Democrats must now defend Obama’s mosque comments which will not play well in the midterm elections.
“I would prefer the president be a little more of a politician and a little less of a college professor,” former Rep. Martin Frost (D-Texas), who once ran the House Democratic campaign arm, wrote in POLITICO’s Arena. “While a defensible position, it will not play well in the parts of the country where Democrats need the most help.”
UPDATE I: Can this message from Obama get any worse or more confusing? Obama says his comments are not an endorsement of the mosque. A second clarification has been served up from the Obama gang Who Could Not Shoot Straight, to make a clarification of the clarification of the Obama mosque comments. Great Communicator, eh? Usually when one needs to begin a press briefing by stating, “just to be clear”, there is no clarity.
That impromptu answer to a TV reporter covering his trip to Florida prompted a second attempt to clarify his initial statement, this time from spokesman Bill Burton.
“Just to be clear, the president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night,” Burton said. “It is not his role as president to pass judgment on every local project. But it is his responsibility to stand up for the Constitutional principle of religious freedom and equal treatment for all Americans. What he said last night, and reaffirmed today, is that if a church, a synagogue or a Hindu temple can be built on a site, you simply cannot deny that right to those who want to build a mosque.”
White House officials later said that Obama was simply saying that since there was no local ordinance that would prevent construction of the mosque, he believed local officials made the right decision to allow it to go forward.

Barack Hussein Obama Comes Out in Favor of Allowing Mosque Near Ground Zero
Just because you have a right to do something, does not make it right.
Surprise, surprise, surprise … President Barack Hussein Obama comes out in favor of allowing the building of a mosque near “Ground Zero”. What else would we have expected from this President who at every opportunity seems to spit in the eye of America and tries to demoralize its citizens. As Obama honored the beginning of the the Islamic Holy month Of Ramadan at a WH dinner, he then praised the building of the controversial Mosque near Ground Zero under the guise of Freedom of Religion.
Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with Freedom of Religion and people saying that a mosquw cannot be built. It has to do with Muslim’s using common sense and tolerance for understanding what Ground Zero and the vincinity means to NY’ers, Americans and the families who lost loved ones. According to a recent Fox Poll, 61% stated that they have a right to build a mosque; however, 64% believe it is wrong to build near Ground Zero.
Why would we ever think that this President would ever act Presidential and come down on the the side of tolerance and deference for the victims and families of 9-11? Sadly, this President could not find it in himself to say, that although individuals have a right to build a religious mosque near Ground Zero, that they should be tolerant and sympathetic of others in maybe considering another location. Failure to act a a US President and provide such leadership and understanding is exactly the reason why Obama has an approval rating in the low 40′s and will be a one term President. This extremist President continually thumbs his nose at “We the People” on every issue. This time Obama sides with 20% of Americans.
Obama had been hesitant on getting involved in this hot button topic; however, much to the dismay of Democrats running in 2010, Obama jumped into the mosque discussion, hook, line and sinker. Just what Democrats needed prior to the 2010 midterm elections, another issue that smacks in the face of the majority of Americans.
After skirting the controversy for weeks, President Barack Obama is weighing in forcefully on the mosque near ground zero, saying a nation built on religious freedom must allow it.
“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

58% of New York Voters Against Mosque Near Ground Zero in NYC
Who is being TOLERANT of those who lost LOVED ONES on 9-11 … America, HAVE WE FORGOTTEN?
58% of New York City voters are against the building of a Muslim mosque near ground zero, while only 20% are in favor. The PC crowd in this country will be the death of us. If it is all about tolerance as the Islamic apologists say, why are the folks who want to place a Mosque in the shadows of “Ground Hero” being tolerant and empathetic of the feelings of those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001? Why isn’t tolerance a two way street?
Most voters in New York (58%) oppose the building of an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds that just 20% favor the building of a mosque near the 9/11 Ground Zero sight, while 21% are not sure. These findings are very similar to those found nationwide.
Some of those in favor of the mosque have argued that it will “honor” the 9/11 victims by promoting the peaceful side of Islam, but 60% of voters in New York lack confidence that this is truly the motivation behind construction. Thirty-one percent (31%) are confident the mosque is being built for this reason. This includes 12% who are Very Confident and 39% who are Not At All Confident.
58% of New Yorkers have NOT FORGOTTEN
Of all places to erect a Muslim mosque … in the shadows of “Ground Zero”? For those who think this is the right thing and nearly 60% of NY’ers find it inappropriate, we have truly FORGOTTEN.

Obama Attorney General Eric Holder Blames Politics has Delayed KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) Trial
The Barack Obama Administration Blame Game Continues … When will this Administration take ownership and stop the blaming others for their screw ups? Obama has certainly shown the American people that the “Buck Stops” no where with him. This is getting real old … Obama plays politics with an issues against the will of the people and then blames Republicans, yawn!
In an interview this weekend on CBS’s Face the Nation, Obama AG Eric Holder told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer that it was politics that delayed bringing self-proclaimed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial. Who is playing politics with the KSM trial, YOU? The reason why KSM has not faced justice is squarely on the shoulders of Holder and Obama.
I BLAME YOU!
In an exclusive interview with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Attorney General Eric Holder said that political posturing has delayed some of the administration’s top priorities — bringing self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial and closing the prison and Guantanamo Bay.
Holder said the administration will make a decision as to where [the KSM] trial will occur “as soon as we can.”
“But we are bound and determined to hold Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and those who worked with him… responsible for happened on September 11,” he told Schieffer during the interview, which took place at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colo.
Holder wants to try Mohammed in civilian court, but some others say the trial should take place in the military tribunal system. The Obama administration is still in the process of determining what course of action to take, but Holder expressed frustration over the debate.
Barack Obama was for military tribunals before he was against it. Remember when Senator Obama in 2006 was singing a much different tune?
