For Obama, reductio ad absurdum is a starting point.

A Job for George W. Bush America needs a president with the moral authority to denounce Koran-burning. By JAMES TARANTO
...Now, many of those same Muslims say that all of those years of work are being rapidly undone by the fierce opposition to a Muslim cultural center near ground zero that has unleashed a torrent of anti-Muslim sentiments and a spate of vandalism. . . Some American Muslims said they were especially on edge as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches. The pastor of a small church in Florida has promised to burn a pile of Korans that day. Muslim leaders are telling their followers that the stunt has been widely condemned by Christian and other religious groups and should be ignored. But they said some young American Muslims were questioning how they could simply sit by and watch the promised desecration.Assuming that the Florida pastor complies with applicable fire codes, he has a perfect legal right to burn Korans that are his private property. That he has a right to do it, however, does not mean it is the right thing to do. In our view, he should call off the event for the same reason that the mosque developers should choose a site a respectful distance from Ground Zero: because the plan is obnoxious and (figuratively as well as literally) inflammatory.
...There is a grain of truth in the protesters' blaming Obama, whose limp leadership has had an incendiary effect. He escalated the Ground Zero mosque controversy by making a strong but unnecessary statement about religious freedom, but then abdicated his responsibility by voting "present" on the real question: whether it is wise and responsible to use freedom in this way....But the commander in chief hasn't said a word about it, and how could he? If the president of the United States is indifferent or hostile to his own countrymen's sensitivities, his exhortations to respect the sensitivities of foreigners--although in this case they would be entirely justified--are sure to fall on deaf ears.
America needs a president with the moral authority to denounce the Florida church's stupid, offensive, potentially dangerous stunt. This is a job for George W. Bush.
****Having proven that it is absurd for Obama to be so asymmetrical in his "sensitivities," and so Obama's speaking out is verboten. Obama goes ahead and does it, anyway! Various logical fallacies are mere starting points for Democrats in the Age of Obama. A second one for today: post hoc ergo propter hoc. For example, "Clinton raised taxes and the economy boomed afterward."

Obama: Minister must cancel Quran-burning 'stunt'
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama implored a Florida minister to call off his Quran-burning "stunt,"...Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview aired Thursday that he hopes the Rev. Terry Jones of Florida listens to "those better angels" and to the individuals and organizations pleading with him to change his mind. "If he's listening, I hope he understands that what he's proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans," the president said. "That this country has been built on the notion of freedom and religious tolerance." "And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform," Obama said. Said Obama: "Look, this is a recruitment bonanza for Al Qaida... ****Isn't a triumphalist mosque at Ground Zero also a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda? ****
