Did Obama skip church on Christmas?

Did the Obama family skip church services this Christmas?

The White House readout of the President’s activities on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day makes no mention of church services – although the President and the First Lady made time to visit service members of the United States Military at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii.

Below is the text of the White House release to the press:

Last night, the President made holiday telephone calls to US service members, then sat down with his family for Christmas Eve dinner.

This morning, the family gathered around 8AM to open their Christmas gifts. They then ate breakfast and sang carols.

This afternoon, the President and the First Lady traveled to the Marine Base to visit with servicemembers and their families.

In the evening, the First Family and friends will enjoy dinner at their home.

The Obama family attended Church on Christmas during their Hawaii vacation in 2011 and 2010 – attending services at the chapel at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. The family made headlines in 2009, when they attended no religious services.

Obama is expected to leave tonight to return to Washington D.C., while his family remains in Hawaii.

Not all Christian churches practice “confirmation”.

Why would a Homo Moslim go to church on Dec 25th?

Really?

Moslem churches don’t normally have Christmas services, especially the Sunni sort.

“The girls may be irreverent, but they are also well mannered, slipping off their shoes before climbing on the velvet sofa. ‘There are downstairs rules,’ Michelle says later, like no shoes on the furniture.

Unlike dear ol' dad who scratches up the Resolute Desk with his shoes. From your link, the girls were old enough back then to know about Santa. Who spends "hundreds" on slumbers parties? Just call some friends to spend the night and have some snacks. They just lie and lie and lie and the msm laps it up.

Did Obama skip church on Christmas? Film at 11
Christmas was on a Tuesday this year. I'd say, just let it be.

They then ate breakfast and sang carols. What carols, I wonder?

And did they include the word "Ftaghn"?

He doesn’t have to go. He prays five times every day.

Yes, and the struggling taxpayers are generously willing to comply because “Obama cares”.

And you shouldn’t swallow it either - this dribble was produced for the sole consumption of Obama voters. the low-info voters, ya know.

I knew it would be an amusing topic!

He was either tripping the light grabasstic, or was raising his nether region to the man behind him in a mosque. Allahu fubar!

Amusing it was. I’d feel a whole lot better if this pathetic creature wasn’t returning for another 4 years.
