comment on "The Mosque II" on Wed. Aug 18

The following was added as a comment to the Wed August 18 post about Obama and the mosque. After a few days I will remove it from here and leave it there.

Well, I was being a little too hard on Obama. It is part of his job to remind us about the restraints that are the other side of the coin of liberty. But I still think that getting 41-43 to issue a joint statement would have been more effective and kept the profile lower.
I also still believe that supporting someone’s right to do something is different than supporting their actually doing it.

    Well, we can’t get in Obama’s head and know what he actually meant to communicate. So his actual words were to express support for the right. We know from the dust up that he actually communicated support for the “doing”.

    As for using 41-43, if he wanted to stay out of the fray why bother.
