It would be quite entertaining watching Bill Clinton trying to bullshit his way out of this mess. Cause & effect is not your strong suit.

58% in New York Oppose Mosque Near Ground Zero Friday, July 23, 2010 Email to a Friend ShareThis.AdvertisementMost 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 site, 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. These findings, too, are roughly in line with those measured on the national level. The developers of the 13-story Cordoba mosque two blocks from Ground Zero say the project is “about promoting integration, tolerance of difference and community cohesion through arts and culture.” Opponents of the project, including many who lost loved ones in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, see the mosque as a deliberate provocation that dishonors the memories of those who died.

This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in New York was conducted on July 20, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/-4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic nominee for governor, have both come out in support of the project. Staunch Republicans Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich, as well as Cuomo's GOP opponent Rick Lazio have publicly opposed the mosque. Gingrich says, "The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over." Solid majorities of Republicans (71%) and unaffiliated voters (70%) oppose the building of a mosque near Ground Zero, a view shared by 49% of Democrats. While most whites and black voters in New York oppose constructing an Islamic center just blocks away from the site of the 9/11 attacks, the plurality of voters of other ethnicities favor such construction. Seventy-three percent (73%) of all voters in the state are following recent new stories about the mosque being built in lower Manhattan at least somewhat closely. Just 22% are not following these stories closely. State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo continues to cruise comfortably ahead of both of his potential Republican rivals in New York’s gubernatorial race.

Clinton was lucky he received the benefits of the Reagan years. But then towards the end of Clinton's term we entered an economic slowdown, which was in part caused by Clinton's policies.
