At Friday's White House gala commemorating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, President Obama said, "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country." The president then weighed in on the latest intended contribution to our country by Islam. "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan..." The president may not be a fan of property rights, but assured Muslims he'll make an exception at Ground Zero.
Saturday, the president further clarified his statement, "I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right that people have that dates back to our founding." Interesting how a president whose totalitarian health care plan shows contempt for the Constitution's limits on government power, uses it for convenient cover to support a monument to mass murder.
At the same time, Obama can't bring himself to comment on the disgusting in-your-face statement the Ground Zero mosque shouts to America and the Islamic world. If Obama can't apologize on our behalf, he has nothing to say.
And the president's support for a gloating monument to shadow over 3,000 American innocent dead is not due to any pro-Muslim feeling on his part. He merely admires the ability of Islam's religious totalitarian ideology to community organize on a global scale.
In other words, Obama suffers from Osama envy.

It's surprisingly foreseeable that a lot of those rejoicing on Bin Laden's demise are also so delusional as to be stating such things as, "America is the freest country on earth." Price of 9/11? Several hundred thousand at the most. Cost of looking for Bin Laden? We've been bankrupt. That was his primary goal. In death, he is nevertheless successful.
