Obama stirs up outrage at Ground Zero...

President Obama has stirred up a hornets nest over the past few days with his comments at a foreign (arab) dignitary dinner regarding the mosque proposed across the street from Ground Zero (site of the twin towers tragedy).  Though correct in his support of religious freedom we are all guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, this was rather insensitive and inappropriate to take a local New York City matter and make it a Presidential matter.  After Congress shot down a bill to provide health care to first responders (police, fire and medical services) and their families who took part in the rescue and clean-up efforts, this was an insult to injury to many New Yorkers.  Also insensitive was the mosque's Imam's comments regarding rights to build in this vicinity.  Further complicating matters is the fact that the U.S. Government is paying for this Imam to travel around the middle east to gather financial and political support for the construction of the mosque in his proposed location (yes, our tax dollars are paying for his trip...air travel, lodging, food, etc.).  An interesting turn of events in the case is the proposal by a New York man to purchase a property adjacent to the proposed mosque site to be opened as a gay nightclub.  What next?
