Obama twisting in the wind with his every changing statements on the Ground Zero mosque

Byron York does a good job here detailing Obama's changing statements.

When President Obama used the occasion of the White House Ramadan iftar dinner to announce his support for the Ground Zero mosque, some of his partisans rushed to praise what they viewed as a ringing endorsement of the controversial project.
"Obama's forceful speech yesterday expressing strong support for Cordoba House…will go down as one of the finest moments of his presidency," wrote Washington Post reporter Greg Sargent. Obama, Sargent said, "isn't hedging a bit: He's saying that opposing the group's right to build the Islamic center is, in essence, un-American."
"CAP Supports Building of Mosque Near Ground Zero," was the headline of a press release from the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. "President Obama is upholding the best traditions of our Constitution in supporting the right of Muslim Americans to build a mosque and community center on private property near Ground Zero."
"I applaud President Obama's clarion defense of the freedom of religion," said New York mayor and mosque supporter Michael Bloomberg. "As I said last week, this proposed mosque and community center in Lower Manhattan is as important a test of the separation of church and state as we may see in our lifetime."
The problem was, just hours after the speech, Obama began to back away from his clarion call. . . .

John: FYI. Even though every sane person will know what you meant by it, my experience with rabid, race baiting moonbats tells me that the phrase "Obama twisting in the wind", could incite them to claim that you are sending a subliminal message that only they can receive through their tin foil hats.

They pretty much did the same thing with Toby Keith over "Beer for my horses", and I've gotten my share of it as well.
