No, he does not. Since President Obama is a Christian, he would not refer to God as Allah. He would refer to God by the English name of "God" or "The Lord" and he would pray to God and to Jesus. But when Mr. Obama lived in Indonesia, a moderate Muslim country, he attended a public school where he met students from the majority religion, Islam, and he also learned to respect what they believed. To this day, he has fond memories of the four years he lived in that country, and when he is speaking to Muslim audiences overseas (all presidents give speeches in foreign countries as part of diplomacy), he remembers some of those times. By the way, it should be noted that the word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God." Muslims are monotheists, just like Jews and Christians.
