White House Responds To Muslim Poll, Reaffirms Obama’s Faith

The White House emphasized President Obama’s Christian faith Thursday after a recent poll from the Pew Research Center indicated that 18 percent of Americans falsely believe Obama is a Muslim, 

“The President is obviously a … Christian,” Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One Thursday. “He prays every day.  He communicates with his religious advisor every single day.”

Added Burton, “His faith is very important to him, but it’s not something that is a topic of conversation every single day.”

When asked if the White House is concerned that the poll signals a lack of trust among Americans, Burton replied that the conclusion would be “extrapolating too much from one poll.”

Instead, Burton attributed the poll results to Americans being primarily concerned with other issues, including the economy and Afghanistan.
