video: President Obama took on the role of television critic in remarks today at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
"Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," the president said at the mosque, "because -- it's not that hard to do.

While weâre at it how about a situation comedy about the wild and crazy antics of a bunch of happy-go-lucky SS death camp guards? Just have Colonel Klink as the Kommandant of Auschwitz.

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of “one muslim character that isn’t unrelated to National security”..
They are all a threat..even obama.
(This would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic)
