Yes. The White House confirms President Barack Obama celebrated Ramadan for the second year, continuing the tradition of the White House hosting a Ramadan dinner.

While some claim this is a new tradition, Presidents as early as Thomas Jefferson have hosted Iftar. George W Bush is among the presidents to have hosted the dinner.

Hosting Iftar does not mean that someone observes Ramadan, which is a month, not a single event. President Obama is not a Muslim and doesn't observe the month of Ramadan.

No, he didn't. Fasting during Ramadan is part of the Islamic religion. President Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim.
