Um...what? I was gratified to hear Obama give a little shoutout to unbelieving heathens like myself, but to lump all Christians in with Iran sets the bar a little high, don't you think? Angela Merkel is a Christian. So are Gordon Brown, Kevin Rudd, Nicholas Sarkosy, Stephen Harper, Vlad Putin, and even Taro Aso, the Prime Minister of Japan (a Roman Catholic). 

The US has its faults, which were eminently on display during the recently departed adminstration, but we are not actually ruled by clerics (as Iran is).
