H/T to LindyBill: The Fox group this morning discussed how badly the WH has handled this. First, O's remarks were written out for Friday night and quite clear. The initial Sat morning MSM reaction was positive. Then the deluge of criticism. O panicked and tried to issue a "clarification" to a reporter on the tarmac in Florida later Sat morning that just confused it further. Then the WH finally issued a statement at 6PM Sat night stating that O stood by his Friday night speech. They have turned this into a "circle jerk" and the Congressional Dems are running for cover. Even 70% of the independents are against the Mosque being built. This will build and build with 911 coming up. Add this to his problems with Health care and his law suit against Arizona and it's good news for the Republicans this November

Ground Zero mosque debate is about common sense, sensitivity to 9/11 vics, not religious freedom Thats why liberals don't get it - they're low on common sense and sensitivity ..... at least to their fellow Americans. Mike Lupica - News Monday, August 16th 2010, 4:00 AM Smith for NewsThe former Burlington Coat Factory building, above, is the proposed site of the Park51 mosque and cultural center. The location's proximity to Ground Zero has caused considerable controversy. Applewhite/APPresident Obama has faced criticism and praise for wading into the mosque debate. Related NewsObama hedges on endorsement of Ground Zero mosqueVoice of the People for August 7, 2010Her name is Bonnie McEneaney and she is the widow of Eamon McEneaney, who was a husband and father and son and brother and even one of the great college lacrosse players of all time at Cornell. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor and went to work on Sept. 11, 2001, and was another who never came home. So his widow is one you listen to as she speaks in a quiet voice about the proposed plan to build a mosque a couple of blocks from Ground Zero. You listen to her before you listen to the mayor of New York, or even the President, both of whom try to frame this debate around freedom of religion when it's not. No matter how lofty and high-minded that sounds. Michael Bloomberg tells people where to smoke and where to walk in Times Square, how much fat they can have in their food, bullies anybody who gets in his way. Now anybody who disagrees with him on the building of this mosque is against freedom of religion and the First Amendment. Why? Because Bloomberg stamps his foot and says so, that's why. The President came out hot on this, too. Then as soon as he got hit he started going the other way, trying to be all things on this, saying, "I was not commenting and will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there." A one-man festival of political correctness. Only this debate isn't about correctness. Or freedom of religion. Or even the idea that if this mosque doesn't get built, it will mean we are now deciding about religious freedom in this country one neighborhood at a time. It is about common sense. More than that, it is about the constituency of Sept. 11. ............ Read more: nydailynews.com
