Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

If JFK had spoken with a perfect German accent during his visit would that have made him a Nazi?

You really should learn to follow the rules of this community. Remember it is a volunteer community and you don't have to participate but you DO have to follow the rules.
The T&C's clearly state the title of a post in this forum should be the title of the news article, not your interpretation of it.
Now I understand why you have issues with other rules in other threads, such as the Geneva Convention.
Don't worry, the MODS will be along soon enough to correct your error.

Since you are NOT a mod, why don't you mind your own business for a change. You are like the little kid who is a tattletale.
Hey, I'm sure there are rules about making a post which has nothing to do with the topic. So thanks for NOT commenting about the topic. Good grief!

What's funny is that your link is in total praise of Obama and kind of makes fun of people who are "afraid" of his ability to produce an accent-free Arabic phrase.
By the way, there are certain things I can say with an impeccable Spanish accent.

OP gives me the impression he's afraid of a none white in power. Yeah, I'm playing the race card, because this is exactly what it is.

A) Quoting yourself is like talking to yourself which is a sign of impending mental collapse.
B) You are so far off base it's laughable. How on Earth do you get racist? It makes no sense. The color of one's skin has nothing to do with it. I realize this is an easy out for you to imply since you cannot think for yourself and must spew the same old tired talking points. I can think of some black people I would vote for President but Obama is not one of them. Or do you think Muslim is a race? Muslim is a religion and not a race. Thought I should mention that in case you are confused.
