OBAMA'S MUSLIM ROOTS.
PrintEmailPDF 
Earlier today, when I read that President Barack Obama had, in typical visiting-U.S.-leader fashion, said "thank you" in the local language while visiting Saudi Arabia ("Shukran"), I jokingly tweeted my impression of a hysterical media response -- "OMFG Obama said "thanks" in Arabic to King Abdullah -- HE IS A MUSLIM! What if he bows?"
Of course, as Spencer catches, the media did take it up (and I haven't even seen the cable shows yet). Jake Tapper's take on the new emphasis on the president's Muslim heritage reflects the ambiguity about this issue that I criticized during the campaign. On one hand, it's hard to blame Obama for wanting his religion to be correctly identified (yup, he's a Christian) and there were and continue to be bigoted attacks against him based on this false perception. On the other hand, though, by continually emphasizing that Obama was not a Muslim, it almost created the impression that maybe there is something wrong with that.
With the campaign over and his heritage now valuable on the world stage, I'm happy to see the president reclaiming his cosmopolitan background to help protect America's interests abroad and recall that American Muslims are real Americans, too. But I hope this new understanding doesn't drift away in the face of electoral battles to come in 2010 or 2012.

Mary-Louise Parker wants to set the record straight: She loves being naked.
The star of Showtime's Weeds (Season 5 premieres Monday, June 8 at 10 pm/ET) is speaking out in response to a recent interview with More magazine that gave the impression that she regretted doing a nude scene that appeared in the Season 4 finale episode. "They made it sound like I was like, 'They made me take my clothes off and chained me to the bathtub,'" Parker says. What's the naked truth? Read on...
