It is not positive as you will soon see. A local religious/zoning dispute is nothing in which a president should entangle himself.
First of all, Voegelin, you are the last person who should be complaining that something is too trivial for someone to get involved in... don't you have Obama's golf scores memorized?
Second, if this is too trivial for a president to weigh in on, what does that say about the likes of Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich, who have also voiced their opinions? Or is your infatuation with Obama so great that it makes you think that His royal voice should not be heard in such plebiean matters?
Third, since when is something that's been broadcast on every national news service nothing more than a "local" dispute?
Voegelin, you're usually better at manufacturing outrage over non-issues... but this time you're not even trying.
His supporters are spinning it as a defence of the constitution but that isn't the issue.
You don't consider rights or the constitution an issue? Not surprising.
People have the "right" to do a lot of things. Does that make every exercise of a right good? No. Of course not.
So is your solution to have fewer rights? You first.... what rights are you willing to give up for the greater good?
Would he use a White House dinner to support the right of people to protest Planned Parenthood clinics? Very doubtful
Why should he?
Would he use a White House dinner to support the right of Americans to keep and bear arms? Very doubtful
Again, why should he?
Would he use a White House dinner to support the right of Americans to homeschool? Very doubtful
One more time... why should he?
The "right" of Muslims to build a mosque next to the site where jihadists murdered 3,000 people is one right he singles out for favor.Now why could that be? Hmmmm?
Because it's the one on every news station? You
do watch the news even when it's not about Obama, don't you?
Because it's an issue which is dividing our country, and Obama would prefer to smooth it over? Now, as much as Conservatives want Obama to fail in all things, perhaps it's not worth it?
Because it's relevant during a WH dinner celebrating Ramadan? And in case you want to make an issue of that, would you like to see links to previous presidents holding identical celebrations?
