Now if this isn't proof he's a Muslim... Seriously though, I'm somewhat surprised he's willing to be so "direct" in public.

I'm fairly sure this has already been mentioned, but Obama isn't "backing" the mosque.  He says that they have the right to build it (especially city the city hasn't blocked the effort).  Two different meanings.
