#1 However, Burton said Obama did not consider the politics of his remarks, and felt he had to speak out in defense of key US constitutional values that include freedom of religion.

Bullshit flag down on that one. His audience were those gathered at the dinner and the muslim world, not America.

#2 some Democratic strategists have said they wish he hadn't spoken

Rather understated considering that Rahm Emanuel spent three days doing damage control...

#3 When has Obama's supposed "eloquence" ever defused a major controversy?

When his buffoonish Harvard friend was arrested, Obama inflamed emotions by telling the nation "the police acted stupidly."

When his botchjob of a healthcare bill was causing major opposition prior to the vote, he told a town hall in Maine that greedy US surgeons are the class enemy, with a lurid fairy tale about surgeons amputating diabetic patients' limbs so as to collect $50,000 fees for service.

When he infuriated the nation with his lawsuit against Arizona, he sent his people to China to tell the Chinese that we have no right to criticize their brutality and thuggishness because, hey, we're thugs, too.

Obama is an empty suit. The man doesn't know what the f*** he's talking about half the time. The other half, he's lying.

#5 Obama ... felt he had to speak out in defense of key US constitutional values that include freedom of religion.

In the audience were among others:

Diplomatic representatives from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. Freedom of religion officially carries the death penalty in these countries.

The Yemeni ambassador. The anchor baby islamofascist who's currently residing in Yemen is credibly threatening the life of the initiator of "Draw Mohammed Day". The Yemeni government does not officially allow US military operations in the country.

Representatives of other OIC states. The OIC officially demands that "defamation of ~~Islam~~ religion" be outlawed. To to this the US would have to repeal the 1st Amendment.

There would have been plenty of issues where Obama could have defended constitutional principles before that audience, but he chose not to do so.

He defended islamic supremacism and nothing else.

#6 "He's happy our thriving democracy is continuing to produce vigorous debate."

This guy has serious problems with reality.
