WASHINGTON — President Obama said yesterday that he’s considering moving the 9/11 terror trials out of New York City — a sharp reversal that has been expected ever since Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and other political heavyweights balked at the plan.

“I have not ruled it out, but I think it is important for us to take into account the practical, logistical issues involved,” Obama said.

“If you have got a city that is saying no, and a police department that is saying no, and a mayor that is saying no, that makes it difficult.”

Obama’s taped remarks to CBS during a taped interview aired during the Super Bowl pre-game show came as Sen. Charles Schumer said it wasn’t “feasible to have the trials in New York.” “The administration should realize that and move on,” he said.
