Obama's Devotion to the Virgin Mary: Who Knew? Somehow this slipped past the Disputations filter, but during her vacation in Spain in August, First Lady, Michelle Obama, revealed that her husband, a.k.a. President Obama, "always carries a picture of Mary Help of Christians in his wallet." Mary Help of Christians is the patroness of the Salesian order of priests and nuns, and during an August 13 visit to the Spanish city of Ronda with her daughter, Sasha, the first lady stopped at the Salesian community there....

N.B. Jon Harvey, who has contributed several items to The Mary Page, informed us about this article, along with the following comments:
This article's reporting that Obama carries an image of Mary in his wallet is genuine, though it should not be concluded that he
shares all the Catholic beliefs or devotional practices regarding the Virgin Mary. Their source is another article which they link
to from the Salesian news service. The article also contains a link to a third article suggesting that Obama is a closet Roman
Catholic. That article is, however, a piece of political satire playing off of the fact that 20% of Americans believe him to be a
closet Muslim.
Also when Obama received on honorary doctorate from Notre Dame in Spring of 2009, he wore their robe with a prayer to the Virgin
Mary. See csnews/article/46844.
