Well, Blitzer made that up. Sumbul Ali-Karamali

President Obama, judging from his inaugural address, knows the difference between terrorists and Muslims, but apparently CNN's Wolf Blitzer still hasn't figured it out.

In his somewhat solemn inaugural speech, President Obama issued a strong statement to terrorists: "...for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."

Two long paragraphs later, after having changed the subject from protecting our legacy (and the terrorists who would damage it) to the strength of our American diversity to a new era of peace, then he said, "To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect."

And yet Blitzer, in commenting upon Obama's speech, deliberately combined the two statements. So according to Blitzer, Obama was addressing the Muslim world both when he made the remark about the terrorists and and later when he specifically addressed the Muslim world.

Well, Blitzer made that up.
