RWBNews: What was his stand on the Ground Zero Mosque? It was legal? I don't see the statement that put Obamas shorts in a knot as being ILLEGAL.

For domestic political purposes Obama, of course, had to condemn Mahmoud Ahmadinejad'ssuggestion Thursday that the 9/11 attacks were cooked up by the American government itself.
To focus special U.S. attention on them and to provide news-hungry media with the requisite conflict, Obama's planned denunciation was leaked before the entire interview was broadcast in order to shape initial impressions positively.
The American leader called them offensive and hateful, especially as they came a short distance from the World Trade Center attack site.
(So, hmm, does that then make the ground zero site some sort of tragically sacred place, as opponents of a proposed new mosque even closer than the U.N. maintain?)
