Barack Hussein Obama recently stepped in a pile of manure when he clearly stated the right of Muslims to worship and to build a mosque in Manhattan. The uproar over this was almost immediate and while many on the left will blame the uproar on the right, the left has quite a few people who were not happy with Obama’s pronouncement. Many Democrat politicians were taken by surprise which is understandable since Obama’s mouthpieces have been saying that the issue was a local one.
It was not a local issue once Obama made his announcement. And that is when the trouble began. Obama made the issue a national one and even though he tried to walk back his comments by insulting our intelligence, he was unable to close the floodgates.
Obama blew this one big time. What he should have done is treated Ramadan like he did the National Day of Prayer. If he had issued a proclamation and observed it quietly in his own way he would not have these problems.
I know many folks think Obama canceled the NDP but he did not. He issued a proclamation and then he observed it quietly. He did not have a meal with religious people and he did not do anything special like he did with the Muslims and their celebration of Ramadan.
If Obama had treated Ramadan with the same indifference with which he treated the NDP then he would not have made his now infamous “I support the Mosque” gaffe and his Democrats would not be killing themselves to put distance between them and the statement.
See what happens when they take his teleprompter away…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
