O! really and truly stepped in manure up to his neck by supporting the mosque. It was an absolutely tone-deaf stupid political move. First, it is a local problem. Not one in which a President should intervene. Second, and most obvious, supporting a mosque at GZ is, as you say, putting up a Nazi memorial at Auschwitz. I note that O! has quickly figured out that he made an enormous political mistake and is backtracking, which is even more stupid. This is Soundbite City: the first soundbite - deadly to him in my opinion - is that he supports the mosque. The second is now he backtracks as he spinelessly realizes that he made a mistake. If you don't like O! - and I detest him - it doesn't get better than this. Come November and re-election time, this may well be the one issue that does the Dems in. Healthcare and bailouts, too, of course. But those are policy issues - this one is visceral, emotional. That Michelle was taking a luxurious vacation at the same time suggests that perhaps he does not care anymore, that he realizes he is one term and that he might as well show his true colors and ambitions while he can, see what he can get away with before he is thrown out.
