His name was invoked at church services nationwide on Sunday, but President-elect Obama didn't attend any of them. He went to the gym instead.
Obama doesn't have a church in Chicago since he severed ties in April with his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. And his decision on which church to attend when he moves to Washington will undoubtedly be closely watched.
When he left Trinity United Church of Christ in May, Obama said his family would look for a new congregation. Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Sunday that the president-elect hadn't yet picked a church.
He knows the stakes when choosing one. Wright's fiery sermons from the pulpit caused Obama problems during his campaign. One video showed Wright saying, "God damn America."

Why would a muslim go to a Christian Church?
He should go to Catholic Mass. I’m certain he would be welcome to receive Communion.
He’s just trying to find out which is the most hateful racist anti-American preacher in Wash. DC.....
What nonsense!
Walk into to any church in this nation and your hand will be shaken, you will be handed a bulletin and you either find a seat or someone will lead you to one.
Why does a “Messiah” need to go to Church? Going to Church might show humility and a need for guidance....
It is quite amazinv, that the Sunday after he wins the presidency, he doesn’t feel the need to go to church and thank God.
Bingo!
He should go to Catholic Mass. Im certain he would be welcome to receive Communion.
This gym bullcrap is getting more than excessive. It’s obvious this guy is going to work out rather than work.
he’s more likely an atheist
Why should he thank himself?
All the more reason we should be praying for him. Clearly he doesn’t know the Lord.
Bill Clinton did.
could be
The only reason he went to Rev. Wright’s Church was political.
I think he should attend a Messianic Judiasm Church....
Bill Clinton did.
And Monica was waiting when he got back to the White House.
The Democrats have given us yet another phony scumbag POTUS.
George Bush is a fitness freak, the healthiest president ever, and he still got himself to Sunday services.
xactly - he no longer has need of a religious veneer.
He’s probably planning fireside “Sermons from the Oval Office.”
There are thousands of churches in each city. It seems there are MORE churches than banks. More churches than EVERYTHING’S A DOLLOR , stores. Why, in the suburbs there you can’t drive one mile without seeing a dozen churches. And HE can’t find one! HA ha
I don’t think he is even religious at all. He worships himself.
He just does what he has to do to advance himself.
Jesus continued to go to the synagogue until they threw him out.
He thanked himself.
“George Bush is a fitness freak, the healthiest president ever, and he still got himself to Sunday services.”
Ol’ Teddy was pretty rigorous himself. I don’t think any other president could have withstood the physical rigors he put himself through on his trip up an uncharted river in the Amazon jungle for instance. Almost killed him and would have killed just about anyone else his age.
He’s shopping around for another church that preaches the “black value system” he practiced for twenty years and raised his children to believe in.
Exactly.
My Lutheran Pastor gave an end times sermon today.
Farrakhan says Obama draws a 'oneness of spirit'
This one, the original, is right there in Chicago, but there is also one at 3160 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, Washington, DC, just a little over a mile away, from where he will be living in the White House.
Obama living in the White House...excuse me while I go barf up my appendix.
> His name was invoked at church services nationwide on Sunday, but President-elect Obama didn’t attend any of them. He went to the gym instead.
No surprises there: evil has no communion with The Light.
With the goal attained, all pretext is dropped. He doesn’t even feel the need to keep the charade going for a few days longer than necessary after getting what he wanted.
YOU’VE BEEN HODWINKED...BAMBOOZLED!!
The only reason I say this is because Obama doesn't have the physique of a person who works out on a regular basis.
Of course, I could be wrong on this one.
Just my $.02.
What's he going to do at the tomb of the unknown soldier? Black Roses and Spit!
The thought of all this just breaks our heart and spirit, and we shall all mourn for 4 long years.
Obama’s been in the Senate for long enough that he would have a church in Washington if church mattered to him.
His words have proven that he is not a Christian by God’s definition, and his actions prove that he isn’t by any other definitions.
yes and well also because of Michelle.
Ol Teddy was pretty rigorous himself. I dont think any other president could have withstood the physical rigors he put himself through on his trip up an uncharted river in the Amazon jungle for instance. Almost killed him and would have killed just about anyone else his age.
oh I thought you were talking about Teddy Kennedy. just replace “Amazon” with “Chappaquiddick”
Slick marketing. Keeping up appearances. Bamboozle-pa-looza. The usual.


He doesn't need to go to church, to thank God, I think he believes he is god.
The church is discovering that it was just a means to his ends; like liberalism, racial diversity and even Marxism. Obama venerates only Obama. Get used to it.
He expects church to go to him.
“Walk into to any church in this nation and your hand will be shaken, you will be handed a bulletin and you either find a seat or someone will lead you to one. “
Exactly. Even if you’re on vacation, they’ll be glad to let you sit in for services that day.
A sign outside of a church I went to this evening said:
Join us for services. No prior experience necessary.
This dig at the Catholic Church didn’t go unnoticed.
I am not at all “certain that he would be welcome to receive Communion”.
There may be some surprises here for all concerned—including BHO.
