. . . to opponents of the mosque. Obama did inspired work last weekend. First, he opened up space for the proposition that the organizers of the mosque have a legal right to build near Ground Zero, but they still shouldn’t build it. Second, by raising the temperature on the issue, he pushed Democrats like Harry Reid into that space, which is where most critics have been all along. Not bad. If the mosque doesn’t get built, Obama’s lost weekend will be recalled as a key turning point. My column on all of this today.
