During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip
to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy
National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough
said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents
before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the
heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having
a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of
Illinois and Chicago.”…
Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least
somewhat abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming
about the president’s roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim
world.
