White House: Obama "Prays Every Day"

From CBS (as if Muslims don't pray every day)-

The White House today responded to news that nearly one in five Americans erroneously believe President Obama is a Muslim by telling reporters that the president prays on a daily basis.

"The President is obviously a -- is Christian," Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said. "He prays every day. He communicates with his religious advisor every single day. There's a group of pastors that he takes counsel from on a regular basis. And his faith is very important to him, but it's not something that is a topic of conversation every single day."

Asked why people believe despite this that Mr. Obama is a Muslim, Burton responded, "I just think people are focused on other issues and not paying all that much attention to exactly what the President does with his spirituality. But as you all know and have covered extensively, he is Christian and his faith is very important to him."

A reporter asked if the president might want to "speak more about his religion to counter this perception that he isn't Christian."

"He has talked about his faith in the past," the reporter said. "Could the White House have him come out and talk about it more?"
