White House strikes back at 'Muslim' tag
Posted: August 19th, 2010 02:26 PM ET

From CNN White House Correspondent Dan Lothian

Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts (CNN) - The White House is responding to new polls Thursday that show an increasing number of Americans believe that President Obama is a Muslim.

"President Obama is a committed Christian, and his faith is an important part of his daily life," Deputy White House Communications Director Jen Psaki told CNN. "He prays every day, he seeks a small circle of Christian pastors to give him spiritual advice and counseling, he even receives a daily devotional that he uses each morning. The President's Christian faith is a part of who he is, but not a part of what the public or the media is focused on everyday."

Psaki added that "the President's strong Christian faith is what guides him through the challenges – a recovering economy, bringing troops home from Iraq, putting healthcare and financial reform implementation in place - but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve."

According to a poll conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released Thursday, nearly one in five Americans believe Obama is a Muslim, up from around one in 10 Americans who said he was Muslim last year.


While most of those who think Obama is Muslim are Republicans, the number of independents who believe he is Muslim has expanded significantly, from 10 percent last year to 18 percent now.

The number of Americans who express uncertainly about the president's religion, meanwhile, is much larger and has also grown, including among Obama's political base. For instance, fewer than half of Democrats and African-Americans now say that Obama is Christian according to the Pew poll.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Just watch. The Muslims will scream, and he'll issue a 'equivocation clarification'.

When will they learn to just keep their mouth shut.

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

But it's not. It sure wasn't a non-issue when Bush was in office.

It may be undesirable for you, but that sounds like a significant part of the president's life - that makes it an issue.

Yeah, but it should have been a non-issue then, too.

The funny thing is that the same press that is running to the defense of this president's Christianity is the same fourth estate that attacked the last president's Christianism Christianity.

I'd like to place a $20 wager on *NEVER*.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

You keep telling yourself that :lol:

1 in 5 Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. Is that the same 1 in 5 that used to believe 9-11 was a right-wing conspiracy, or did they belong to the admittedly smaller minority that thought it was caused by lesbianism.

Do you folks send your children to special conspiracy training camps or something?

See, that's how these things get started.

Next year, 5% of Americans will believe that Obama is a pederast.

The trouble with all these loony theories is that people end up overlooking the genuine insanity in the political system.

IOW, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
