Obama' faith questioned by rivals: On Sunday's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Barack Obama made a slip of the tongue that has fueled questions from his opposition about his faith. When discussing the quiet smear campaign by anti-Obama parties suggesting that he's Muslim, Obama accidentally used the words "my Muslim faith." He immediately corrected himself but, within the hour, his misspoken words had already brought about attacks from the Republican camp. Obama commonly mentions his Christianity and how it has empowered his work in society.
Boy distributes hundreds of fake $20 bills in school: An 8-year-old boy distributed hundreds of fake $20 bills at an elementary school.

He had distributed approximately $880 in fake money to the other students in the school. The police are still investigating the source of the fake currency.
Women help each other become debt free: The Women in Red Racers is a group of women who struggle from overwhelming debt. After connecting with each other online, the women decided to "race" to pay off the debt, while lending each other tips and moral support. The Racers' numbers have continued to grow, and now hundreds of members have collectively paid off $3 million in debt. Co-founder Angela Bauer-Friedman says, "Having a forum where you can say, 'I just got a $25 birthday check, and I'm putting it toward my Visa balance' -- and then getting a round of cheers from your fellow Racers -- it's incredible."
Father and son found after 12 hours drifting at sea: The Coast Guard found a 12-year-old boy and his father after they had treaded water overnight for longer 12 hours. The son, Chris Marino, had been swimming in the ocean when he caught the current and was pulled in by the tide. His father Walter, 46, jumped in after him but was pulled into the ocean as well. The father and son were found eight miles from shore and one mile away from each other. Both are in good condition at a local hospital.
