Um... I just watched those videos... there's nothing in there that says he's a Muslim. The videos are blatantly dishonest in their presentations. For instance, when it highlights where he says "I am one of them", to imply he's saying he's a Muslim, it ignores what he actually says. I'll highlight the relevant parts of the quotation they're manipulating to make him say what he didn't say, so I can put it back in proper context:

Mentioning the Holy Qur'an isn't any weirder than an atheist mentioning the Holy Bible. He is showing respect for nearly five million Americans who are active Muslims, and millions more who have a family member or dear friend who is a Muslim, as a President in a pluralistic, multi-religious society should do. He is also explaining to Americans that he knows from personal experience that there is a difference between the fundamentalist nutballs who attacked our country, and who kill their fellow Muslims more than they kill anyone else, and the normal, everyday Muslim.
As with the ring, people with agendas will bend the truth, when it suits them, and are less concerned with facts than they are with convincing others to agree with their prejudices.
I mean, seriously, the First Lady is a man as a serious claim!? You're telling me that a man was allowed sign up for a wedding certificate on Oct. 3, 1992, at Trinity United Church in Chicago? To put on this dress and stand in front of the altar?
President Obama Wrote:The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country — I know, because I am one of them.
I’m a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
