Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota’s GOP governor and a potential 2012 presidential candidate, says that President Obama is “clueless” and continues to “play the role of law professor” while “promoting mosques near Ground Zero and other misguided initiatives.”

“This isn’t about the technical and hyper-technical legal issues,” Pawlenty said in an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity. “It’s about being sensitive, being respectful, and having good judgment about not putting a mosque within two blocks of Ground Zero. Anybody with common sense can see that.”
