Obama continues to inflict damage & insure debacle in November 2010 -- Obama Strongly Backs Islam Center Near 9/11 Site
An 8-1-10 post notes:
The New York Times has an article in Sunday's edition entitled "To Help Democrats in the Fall, Obama May Stay Away."
A 7-20-10 post is entitled:
"Is there any wonder U.S. House Democrats are upset with the Obama administration: White House is focused on 2012 versus 2010."
A 7-12-10 post is entitled:
"They've got that right: Democratic governors tell White House that suit against Arizona's law could cost a vulnerable Dem. Party in fall elections."
An 8-8-10 post is entitled in part:
"This administration, since taking office, has been & remains tone-deaf."
At the present time, not only do Democratic candidates need Obama to agree to stay away, but for Obama (and Axelrod) to please, please refrain from upsetting the Republic and inflicting damage on the Party and insuring that November will be the debacle that he is setting it up to be.
In this case, all he had to do was follow through on what he had said last week about this being a local matter and say nothing. But no, he had to take the focus off Michelle and her trip to Spain, the November elections and fellow Democrats be damned.
And from today's issue of The New York Times:
President Obama delivered a strong defense on Friday night of a proposed Muslim community center and mosque near ground zero in Manhattan . . . .
After weeks of avoiding the high-profile battle over the center — his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said last week that the president did not want to “get involved in local decision-making” — Mr. Obama stepped squarely into the thorny debate.
Aides to Mr. Obama say privately that he has always felt strongly about the proposed community center and mosque, but the White House did not want to weigh in until local authorities made a decision on the proposal, planned for two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
[Spare us please. Then why the comment last week about this being a local issue.]
And from today's issue of The Washington Post:
The president's statement puts him once again at the center of a cultural clash just as his party enters the final stretch of a difficult congressional campaign. Polls suggest that most Americans disagree with his position; a recent CNN poll found 68 percent opposed to building a mosque near the Sept. 11 site.
