      Not well in this case, though there's a matter of how legitimate   
   sources are . . .

      Busy, especially with elections coming . . .   
      
      
      
    Last month, speaking to a

   >Ground Zero.   
      
      Not mosque; and at least two blocks away probably doesn't fall   
   under "adjacent" . . .   
      
      
   The next day, and again at a press conference last week, Obama   
   >said he was merely standing up for the First Amendment. As far as we recall,   
   >it's the only time Barack Obama has ever stood up for anybody's First

      "We" must pay more attention to the news then . . .   
      
      
   >Now Molly Norris, an American citizen, is forced into hiding because she   
   >exercised her right to free speech. Will President Obama say a word on her   
   >behalf?   
      
      On her behalf specifically, that would be a matter of personal   
   prerogative . . .   
      
      
    Does he believe in the First Amendment for anyone other than Muslims?
