JUST IN CASE MY DEFENSE WASN'T OBVIOUS ENOUGH IN ITS WEASEL-WORDING:

Pool Reports: Obama Expands on Mosque Defense (August 14, 2010, Pool Report #5)

Asked about his mosque comments by reporters as he left after his remarks, POTUS said:

"In this country we treat everybody equally and in accordance with the law, regardless of race, regardless of religion. I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about."

In other words: "We don't have to like sharing water fountains with them but they're legally entitled to use them."
