The week has just started and already President Barack Obama has taken heat from a conservative talk show host and a fed-up 12-year-old whose YouTube video has gone viral.

Jon Stewart started Monday night's episode of "The Daily Show" dissecting President Obama's word choice when it comes to talking about ISIS. The President's avoidance of terms such as "radical Islam" or "Islamic extremism" when discussing Middle East conflicts has conservative Fox News presenters accusing him of not telling it like it is.

On Feb. 18, the President explained his reasoning at the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism. He said that Al-Qaeda and ISIL, and similar groups, are desperate for legitimacy so they portray themselves as religious leaders and "warriors of Islam" to recruit.

"We must never accept the premise that they put forward. Because it is a lie. Nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy they seek. They are not religious leaders, they are terrorists. And we are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted in Islam," he said.

Stewart isn't buying it.

"Obama thinks if he just sits down and explains things to us in a calm, reasoned, slightly annoyed tone, everyone will get it," Stewart said. "It's what the medical community calls 'MSNBCitis.'"

Stewart's diagnosis of the President comes in the wake of a viral 3-minute video posted Saturday by political activist and middle schooler CJ Pearson, who weighs in on the issue, but via the Giuliani-Obama controversy.

In the video, Pearson applauds former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for saying that President Obama doesn't love America. Giuliani made the remark during a Feb. 18 private group dinner featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Pearson, who is the executive director of Young Georgians in Government, had this to say about the Obama-ISIS issue:

"President Obama, You don't love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and every single thing that our country stands for ... I hope that one day people will get enough guts to speak out against your downright hatred for this nation..."

The video has received 901,506 views since being posted Saturday. Pearson has become a virtual celebrity. His Facebook page describes him as being "committed to fighting for conservative principles and engaging young people in the political process."
