So he "couldn't find a church for family worship because "it would displace the regular worshipers", blah, blah.

It doesn't make any difference where you worship, bonehead. The Lord doesn't care. Set a room aside in the White House and invite rotating pastors in to preach the Word. There'd be no shortage of acceptances.

Chaplains say the prayers every morning in the House and Senate...... and privately counsel Members in their offices whenever needed.

On our many freeper fund-raising cruises, Sunday mornings saw small, public salons regularly set aside for services, one for Protestants, one for Catholics, etc. One ship has Lutheran services in the movie theater.

The clergy on ships are volunteers who, along with their families perhaps, are cruising themselves. They get a discounted fare for their churchly volunteerism. The services are lovely.....just salons with chairs, an altar, and a piano brought in for the hymn-singing. The worshipers can view the gently-rolling Caribbean through the picture windows.

After all, in past and present ages, emperors and kings had their own private, elaborate, art-filled chapels in their palaces. Why not Obama in the White House seeing he's his own kind of royalty?

Actually, let's be real....The One believes in no one but Karl Marx, and he, Obama, is his Prophet.

I’m taking bets that the asshole hasn’t been to a Christian church since he was elected. Any takers?

Agnostics and atheists don’t celebrate Christmas.

I am not sure how Black Liberation Theology and Christmas go together.

Of course this is not a surprise; important to point it out however.
I highly doubt they have any core religious beliefs; like too many Americans.

“The Obamas have attended Sunday services in Washington three times this year”

What they couldn’t find a DC clone of Rev Wright?

He’s not a Christian, so why should he visit a church? His religion is liberalism.

I’m sure Kwanzaa will be the big celebration at the WH.

No Churchgoing Christmas for the First Family

Even Reagan didn’t attend church very often while President.
RR said that he didn’t like being the center of attention, what with
the necessary presence of Secret Service personnel, etc.

I heartily disagree with Obama on major issues of the day, but personally
I’d cut him some slack on this one. Even if he’s arguably just a
worshipper of The Liberal Church.

Truth time:

I don’t go to church on Christmas, unless it’s Sunday. Never thought to ask about Zero.

I don’t attend Christmas Eve church services either. Does that make me a bad person?

Oh, that’s right, the First Family must conform to the Christmas orthodoxy, even if they simply want to celebrate at home.

There’s plenty about 0b0z0 to complain about, without worrying that they celebrate Christmas in an unorthodox manner (if at all).

Where will they be staying in Hawaii? A hotel? A friend's house? Do they have a house there?

Because I know that I would want to leave the history-laden White House for a shack on the beach in Hawaii! (not!) They won't even spend their first Christmas at the White House. In fact, Obama seems to be AWAY from the White House as much as possible. He's there on a mission, and doesn't want to be distracted by the architecture or the history. Or the extreme privilege that he was afforded (and which he cavalierly scorns).

There’s no point in expressing shock or surprise at this. We already know whose side they’re on. Any church is more meaningful, not to mention consecrated, with them out of it.

Check the local mosques, or the ones in Hawaii.

Note the lack of /sarc> tag.

Next year, let's all send the White House a Happy Ramadan card.

Maybe festooned with photos of dead or beheaded U.S. / Nato troops.

Sign it "With Love from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."

Cheers!
