I'm in shock; I can't believe the GOP would do such a thing: GOP Pounces on Obama’s Mosque Remarks

From The Wall Street Journal:

Republicans on Sunday seized on President Barack Obama’s weekend comments on the controversy over building a mosque near Ground Zero, folding it into their election-year narrative that Washington is out of touch with the rest of the country.

“The administration, and the president himself, seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America,” Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) said on Fox News Sunday.

To the extent that the president’s comments show he’s not listening to Americans, it will become an election issue, said Cornyn, who also heads the Republicans’ campaign committee in the Senate.
