Controversy swells as Obama supports Ground Zero mosque<http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100814/ts_afp/uspoliticsreligionattacksobama_20100814172344>
President Obama has been relatively quite on the mosque issue up until now. For some strange reason, at a time when the recent numbers show the economy is not recovering, jobs are not being creating, there is public resentment over his wife's lavish vacation to Spain, social security is in the red, Virginia's case against health care deform has been allowed to go forward, Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected health care deform, soldiers are dying in Afghanistan at a record pace, and his political party is scrambling to maintain seats for the upcoming elections, he comes out in favor of a mosque that around 70% of Americans do not think should be allowed to be built. I don't think anyone is surprised by his stance, but he should have just kept his mouth shut on the issue. The simple answer of "That's a decision for New York would have sufficed." Now he has added more fuel to the fire of his growing number of opponents.
