In the new Parents' Magazine, the Obamas answer questions on a variety of parent-related topics.
Q. What about the role of religion in their lives? Do they go to church?
Barack: You know, we've been so busy that we haven't been to church together much recently. We've been visiting a lot of churches.
Michelle: We view going to church as a family activity. So the girls don't go unless we all go, and we've been traveling so much lately.
Q. Do they go to Sunday school?
Michelle: No. We view weekends as family time, so if they're off somewhere part of the day, we're not together.
Barack: What we do is teach them about values and faith and religion in the context of family life.
Michelle: We believe in prayer. We all take turns saying grace before dinner. It isn't any designated prayer; we encourage them to pray from their hearts about what they're thankful for. So we do that, then we all click glasses and say, "Cheerios!"

Most people click their glasses and say “Cheers”.
The Obamas click their grasses and say “Cheerios”.
Oh, well, he can always have his girls do breakfast cereal oommercials after he loses this election.
but of course! they save their amens for whenever they listen to Jeremiah Wright. why let religion get in the way of their true beliefs? cough, cough, choke...
"Now girls, remember, true faith is what bitter people cling to. It's sort of like opium for religious people."
“Next First Family...”?
As it is said in racing, teh driver finishing the race in second place is the “the first loser”.
Thats the kind of “first family” I pray they become.
NEXT FIRST FAMILY?????????
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And don’t we already know enough about the Obama’s “religion” from the Rev. Wright?
These people should be run out of business for this horrific example of “journalism”, with their “Dewey defeats Truman” story and headline.
Parents magazine must want to go to oblivion too.
Talk about projection.
LMAO! I dont think so. These idiots are going to have an awful hard time when reality sets in after November 4th.
Now that’s something we can toast to.
There’s an interview w/Cindy McCain in same issue, though article’s about kids and they don’t show hers. Photo is mostly of a window. Does have moving story of her mercy mission for baby Bridget (and another baby) though.
Yet another magazine I won’t have the pleasure of cancelling my subscription to.
Why, when Obama talks about religion, am I reminded of John Kerry holding a rifle?
When we say Grace in our family, it always ends with “Amen”.
I wonder if the article includes anything about ensuring your child’s formative years are influenced by your radical terrorist neighbors, Bill Ayer and his wife; the wisdom of choosing your friends wisely, ie. Rashid Khalidi; knowing who your best buddies are: the President of Iran, Castro, Chavez. What unique parenting style these two have!
Parents magazine: another gift to NOT give at any future baby showers!!!!
Honestly, I think I just threw up in my mouth!!
These people are clueless.
“What mosque do you plan to attend?”
Was just thinking the same thing! lol
Somehow, “In Jesus’ name... Cheerio” just doesn’t have the same feel to it.
Parents Magazine - Do you mind if we have the election first?
