Kevin McCullough "In fact since you've been in office you've repeatedly apologized to the Islamic world for America's action of liberation to fifty million muslims, you wholly redirected our space program to the unique purpose of making them feel good about how smart Muslims used to be, and on issue after issue you've sided with the views of the terrorists, even appointing several of the former defenders of the Gitmo detainees to your Department of Justice.

Obama backs away from Ground Zero Mosque "What happened between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon to get Obama to modify his position?
