"[quote]At a coffee shop stop at the Smokey Row in Pleasantville, Iowa, a woman Barack Obama sat down to chat with asked about his religious upbringing. Here with the transcript from our Obama embedded producer, Bonney Kapp:
Woman: I have a question I would really like to ask you. With a Muslim background, how would that effect how you would lead the United States of America?
Obama: “This is something that keeps on being misreported, so I’m glad you asked me. My father was from Kenya and a lot of people in his village were Muslim. He didn’t practice Islam. Truth is he wasn’t very religious. He met my mother. My mother was a Christian from Kansas and they married, and then divorced. I was raised by my mother. So, I’ve always been a Christian. I’ve never practiced Islam. For awhile, I lived in Indonesia because my mother was teaching there. And that’s a Muslim country. And I went to school. But I didn’t practice. But what I do think it does is it gives me insight into how these folks think. And Part of how I think we can create a better relationship with the middle east and that would help make us safer is if we can understand how they think about issues. But I’m a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ and have been for fifteen years.
The woman then asked Obama if “you believe in Jesus Christ?”
Obama: “I believe he was our Lord and savior.”"
Obama: “I’ve always been a Christian.” « Major Garrett’s Bourbon Room « FOXNews.com
