It is either a lie on his behalf or amounts to an establishment of faith, and is grounds for impeachment.

Oh Lord, "Ann". Spare us the histrionics. The man said "stereotype". The same goes for you, robert. Like any other mystical, and therefore fundamentally flawed, primitive "philosophy", Islam has its good followers and its bad ones. I suppose it would take a thinking, hard-working man to take the time to learn the difference; it's the intellectually lazy who hear "Islam" and think "bad"

About 50 men and women identifying themselves as Detroit-area Muslims chanted �We are Americans� as they marched behind metal barricades outside the courthouse to denounce terrorism. About a dozen of them carried U.S. flags or signs with messages such as �Not in the name of Islam.�
Four Muslims who were part of the protest performed Friday prayers in the court�s small museum located on the first floor. Protest organizer Majed Moughni said it was important to take time for Islam�s most important prayer even with the events of the day.
�We have prayer rugs outside in the car. We could have done a show for the media,� protest organizer Majed Moughni said. �We�re doing this for God.�

Funny, I don't recall the enumerated powers of the President in the Constitution to include fighting against negative stereotypes.

And, I suspect in Obamaspeak "stereotype" means "any negative utterance against a Muslim, however richly deserved that negative perception might be for a given ~~terrorist~~ individual."

I don't recall the enumerated powers of the President in the Constitution to include eating lunch, but if the officeholder thinks doing so is a good idea, I'm not going to use that as an argument that he shouldn't...
