Asked during a Friday news conference what he thought the reaction would be if the site were moved, Obama replied: "This country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal, that they have certain inalienable rights. One of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely. And what that means is that if you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on the site."
Debra Burlingame, the sister of an American Airlines pilot who died in the 9/11 attacks, and who leads a group of 9/11 families staunchly opposed to the ground zero mosque location, told Newsmax in an exclusive interview that there now can be no doubt President Obama supports the specific location of the controversial mosque.
"There's no question now," Burlingame tells Newsmax. "He was given an opportunity. The question was posed: 'We all know there's freedom of religion, but where do you stand on the wisdom of putting this mosque there?' And his answer was to go back to this Koran burning, and how that would inflame the passions of more than a billion Muslims.
"He seems to utterly ignore or dismiss the passions or the sensibilities of 300 million Americans, including America Muslims, who told us this mosque, without question, will be interpreted in the Muslim world as ratification of the attacks that took place nine years ago, that it will be used to recruit jihadis and that it will endanger our troops," Burlingame told Newsmax.
When asked during Friday's news conference to comment further on the specific location, Obama appeared to bristle, stating: "I think I've been pretty clear on my position."

He was also asked by a reporter about hunting down Osamba Bin Laden and killing him for the safety of the US. He hesitated and fumbled for an answer before he said it was a good idea. The idiot is lost without a teleprompter.
His hesitation to that question tell me he has ties to terrorism.
Obama shouldnt use words with "Alien" in them because he happens to be one since no Birth Certificate and he must be a Muslim if he is pushing for this Mosque to be built
Why doesnt Obama push to build the Adolph Hitler Center in Israel while he is at it

You are right. I happened to glance at the tv when he was giving his speech today about 9/11. He was reading it from a paper. He couldn't get more then 3 or 4 words out before he had to look at the paper again.
he is a muslim. anyone who thinks otherwise is an ignorant MORON
This seems similar to 7 December 1941. Japan bombs us at Pear Harbor. We went to war with the Japanese who happened to be Shinto. We DID NOT go to war with the Shinto who happened to be Japanese. Some day we will re-learn this lesson and move on.
you cant believe anything coming out of his mouth, if public majority supported not bottling water he would too
