"How fitting that on the day we celebrate the rising of our Lord and Savior, we also welcome our sitting president," Pastor Howard-John Wesley said to applause from enthusiastic worshippers, whom he urged to keep their cellphones in their pockets and purses.

Some of the liberals that I have listened to, think that being liberal means that you are nice. Conservatives are mean and selfish.

I don’t think that these “nice” liberals ever think of the consequences of their vote.

I’m with you 100% I didn’t even know the First Family went to church today, much less where. The whole this was one big photo op.

I’d be willing to bet that those girls know very little about the meaning of Easter.

wonder if Obama has attended "church" as many times as he's golfed?

If he did,he would be Saint Obama.

Their fervor for the first black President is greater than their fervor for Christ. Thewy are the ones keeping the President’s polls up. around 50 percent.

That’s what it’s coming to these days. Word on the street is that if you’re a good person and do nice things for people, that’s all that matters.

This is how we are losing this country. America is slowly losing it’s faith in Christ.
