No matter what he does, the guy just can’t win:

… a new poll finds that Republicans are now taking that rumor one step further. A Newsweek survey released Monday found that a majority of Republicans believe that Obama “sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world.”

According to the poll, 14 percent of Republicans said that from what they knew of Obama, they thought such allegations were “definitely true”; 38 percent thought the allegations were “probably true.”

Meanwhile, 33 percent of Republicans thought they were “probably not true” and 7 percent thought they were “definitely not true.” Asked whether Obama favors the interests of Muslim Americans over other groups of Americans, 59 percent Republicans said yes, whereas 34 percent said he has “generally been evenhanded.”

I’m pretty sure the alleged favouritism has something to do with supporting the first amendment rights of Muslims. How about you?
