Funny, I did a research paper on sharia and apostacy back at uni and seem to recall that, although all schools find it to be a wrong or sin, there are significant numbers of scholars that don't believe death is prescribed. Came down to the difference between the koran and hadith, and whether the latter gets plenary legal status. Anyway, it'd be shocking if the 'we don't bargain with terrorists' crew turned this issue around on Obama. Read that one over here in oz.

I only glanced over this column this morning (I got a sprain from rolling my eyes at it, so I refused to read it), but I imagine the author only discusses what the most extreme schools would rule.
