LOL - I guess they were bragging about him standing up for his principles BEFORE he decided to back off and acknowledge that mosque THERE was really unwise: “I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there." There's a profile in courage to be proud of. I'll bet they also love that Obama's clarification came AFTER Sarah Palin had taken him to task on Facebook: "Mr. President, should they or should they not build a mosque steps away from where radical Islamists killed 3000 people? Please tell us your position. We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they? And, no, this is not above your pay grade. If those who wish to build this Ground Zero mosque are sincerely interested in encouraging positive “cross-cultural engagement” and dialogue to show a moderate and tolerant face of Islam, then why haven’t they recognized that the decision to build a mosque at this particular location is doing just the opposite? Mr. President, why aren’t you encouraging the mosque developers to accept Governor Paterson’s generous offer of assistance in finding a new location for the mosque on state land if they move it away from Ground Zero? Why haven’t they jumped at this offer? Why are they apparently so set on building a mosque steps from what you have described, in agreement with me, as “hallowed ground”? I believe these are legitimate questions to ask." - Sarah Palin facebook.com Sarah posts and Barry caves, again. Now if Obama had said at the iftar dinner that the 911 attack site was an unwise place for a mosque, THAT would have a courageous stand. IOW if he'd said at the dinner what Sarah Palin said above, he'd have shown courage and principled leadership. But he didn't!
