I think he answered it the best way that he could have. He basically can do nothing about the manner as the President and member of the government. I would have at least liked him to say, "I don't like it at all, but they have the right to do it. This is America, and the only way that I could prevent this, is by stepping in and taking away the rights or our citizens. I'm unwilling to do that."

See, I'd get into trouble if I were the president because I'd say something like, "I don't like it, but as the President operating within the government, I can't prevent it without spoiling some of the freedoms that we all enjoy. Now, if a group of people, who were completely unaffiliated with the government, burned the temple down once a year, they'd have to suffer the consequences of their actions."
