Does this seem strange to anyone else? April 30, 2007, Barack Obama's Kenyan grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama, appeared in a New York Times article that included the following caption:
Sarah Hussein Obama of Kenya, Barack Obama's stepgrandmother (sic), is a lifelong Muslim. "I'm a strong believer of the Islamic faith," she says.
However, the USA Today ran a story about her on Wednesday with this line:
"In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents," [Sarah Hussein Obama] said. She, too, is a Christian.
Is it sloppy reporting by the USA Today or an intentional attempt by Obama and his Media to cover up his Muslim heritage? It's not a big deal to me that many of his family members are Muslim, especially his "stepgrandmother." I just don't know why they feel the need to hide it...
