WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans attacked President Barack Obama on Sunday for his comments on a controversial plan to build a Muslim cultural center in New York, saying he was "disconnected" from the nation in an election year.

Senh: Sometimes you just wish these Republican politicians would just shut the hell up. Like anyone of them, if they were president of the United States, would oppose this. It's in our Constitution - freedom of religion.
