When speaking to a room full of Muslims Obama said that he supported their right to build the Ground Zero Mosque and seemed to support their decision to exercise that right despite all the public opposition. In backing off that position the next day he essentially said that the backlash from his statement to the Muslims was because his words were just misunderstood. Again it is our fault, not his.
Mr President, we do have a failure to communicate here, but the responsibility for getting it right is yours, not ours. When you have something to communicate it's your job to say it so we can understand it. If you don't, you have failed. Take a note: We're not as dumb as you think we are.
