[Image description: Screen cap of headlines from CNN's front page, with "Poll: More think Obama is Muslim" juxtaposed with "White House: Obama not Muslim."]
"White House: Obama not Muslim" links to this story, headlined: "White House strikes back at 'Muslim' tag." Which includes this statement from Deputy White House Communications Director Jen Psaki:
"President Obama is a committed Christian, and his faith is an important part of his daily life. 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."So...what you're telling me is that he's Jewish?
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."
