Obama Describes Faith Amid False Rumors

By The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama on Sunday confronted one of the persistent falsehoods circulating about him on the Internet.

He went to church.

His attendance here at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, with the news media in tow, was as much an observation of faith as it was a rejoinder to baseless e-mailed rumors that he is a Muslim and poses a threat to the security of the United States.

Really, Len -- there's nothing to it. If the AP can do it, you can, too!
