The President Obama Speeks to Muslims

The President Obama says, "My job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a
stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of
respect," Obama said in the interview, broadcast around the globe. "I have Muslim members of
my family. I have lived in Muslim countries." I wonder if it would have made a difference if
he had admitted that during his campaign.
