Obama just needs to remind everyone he's already spoken on this and it's on the web for anyone who wants to refresh their memory. His opinions on this haven't changed.
He didn't need to, and I'm glad he didn't, cater the religion in anyway. His neutrality while in office with regards to religion has been admirable.

Scalia, Boehnner, etc. and start attending that church, sitting next to him, and even wrapping his arm around the right-winger in a show of Christian brotherhood just to make him sweat.

And it's embarrassing.
