Obama began a rolling ball of snow back on August 13th. The huge debate regarding Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s proposed mosque and cultural center two blocks from the tragic 9/11 site continues to grow. Obama makes the statement. "Muslims have the right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country, and that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan." Initially a CNN Poll found that 68% of Americans disapproved of the mosque location (www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/15/obama.islamic.../index.html). Almost a month later new polls show only 44% disaprove. In addition, the Quinnipiac University National Poll found that 70 percent of Americans believe that the Muslim group has the right to continue with building the Mosque.
While many polls focus on Obama and his reach for better relationships with muslims in other countries, you cant help but wonder if this is in exchange for American votes.
