One of Iowa's Republican National Committee members said Monday that she believes President Obama is truly a Muslim, contradicting his repeated statements that he's a Christian. Kim Lehman, one of Iowa's two Republican National Committee members, said in a phone interview Monday that what matters is not her personal view that Obama is a Muslim, but his answer to the issue. "It isn't about me. Call the president. ... Say, 'Are you a Christian or not?' " she said. "If I'm wrong, I'm more than happy to say, 'Oh, I'm wrong.' " Lehman attracted attention when she posted a Twitter message last week in response to a Politico article about a Pew Research Center poll that shows 31% of Republicans and 10% of Democrats believe Obama is a Muslim. The Politico article said Obama has repeatedly found his faith questioned and has "confronted the rumors head-on." "@politico you're funny. They must pay you a lot to protect Obama. BTW he personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim. Read his lips," Lehman said on her Twitter page Thursday. Lehman said Monday that she was referring to an Obama speech in Cairo last summer in which he reached out to Muslims. A transcript shows he makes no comment about being Muslim, but says he's a Christian. "I'm a Christian," Obama said, "but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims." Lehman said she objected to the speech because it "had a sense of embracing or aligning with the Muslims." Derrick Plummer of the Democratic National Committee's Midwest region said the DNC had no comment on Lehman's statement. Last week, White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton said Obama is obviously a Christian. Guidelines: You share in the USA TODAY community, so please keep your comments smart and civil.
