It's not exactly a local issue if you consider the fact that this isn't the first time an Islamic center/mosque has been opposed by the public. This just happens to be a high-profile case.
I don't see it ever inappropriate for the President to support one of America's freedoms.

That comment about the monkey-god is laughable....I thought that Islam and Christianity essentially have the same god....
