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."

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.
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.
Nothing is surprising about this. He attended Wright’s church not for his own deep, personal faith in Jesus Christ, but to foster and bolster political alliances and add some stature to himself among the black community in Chicago. Everything about him, every policy position he has ever taken, shows anyone with any degree with Christian faith that he is NOT filled with the Spirit of Christ and he only states that he is because it gets him where he wants to be politically.
No person of faith could stand for the willful suffocation deaths of innocent babies, the slaughter of our soldiers and innocent Iraqi citizens as a result of a withdrawal from the war, stealing money from Americans in the form of “redistributing wealth,” or surrounding himself with America haters and Jew haters.
Also added to this is the fact that he in a state of self-worship, believing his own hype.
Maybe the question people are going to start asking is, “Have you accepted Barack Hussein Obama as your personal lord and savior?”
My thoughts exactly.
That was no dig at the Catholic Church. That was an admonishment to the American Catholic bishops who allowed Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and the rest of the abortion catholics to receive Communion at the Papal Mass.
I am not at all “certain that he would be welcome to receive Communion”.
Recent history says otherwise.

I think he is too pro-abortion to be a muslim. Even if you would say he had to be pro-choice in order to win as a democrat, I would say born-alive is a pretty extreme position and not politically necessary.
His mother was an atheist commie, she raised him and that’s what he is.
Your reasoning makes sense. I hope you're right ... hard to believe I'm hoping that the next president of the United States is an athiest commie!
