Obama says he ignored Beck rally - Aug 2010

President Obama chuckles when Brian Williams asks him about polls that show may Americans still believe he is a Muslim. He says he doesn't pay much attention to those polls, because "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead."
"I don't think the American people want me to spend all my time on it," he says.
Obama is clearly intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying American politics is in its "silly season." For example, he swears he didn't watch any of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall yesterday and says he doesn't find it surprising that "a Glenn Beck can stir up some of the people."
"I'm making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations," he says.
