President Obama was dubbed not just the commander-in-chief as he celebrated Easter Sunday, but our black president, and anointed, too.
Per the pool report, Obama, with First Lady Michelle, children Sasha and Malia and mother-in-law Marian Robinson, attended holiday services at Washingtons Allen Chapel AME Church, where the reception was considerably more boisterous than his appearance at St. Johns Church near the White House where he marked the holiday last year.
Various speakers in the historically black church with roots pre-dating the Civil War praised Obama and his family, but the Rev. Michael Bell, pastor of the church, was perhaps most lavish, describing Obama as the most intelligent, most anointed, most charismatic president of America.
God has His hand all over you, Bell said. Anyone would be foolish to come up against him.
He described the First Lady as his beautiful wife - TV cameras dont do her justice.
The church is in southeast Washington, where the community was rocked last week by an especially brutal outbreak of gun violence that left four dead and five wounded. Among the people arrested was a 14-year-old boy.
Bell said it was no accident that he (Obama) is here in light of what happened here last Tuesday. Obamas attendance was helping our community heal, Bell said. Mr. President, you have no idea how much your presence has meant to us today, he said after the sermon.
Although Obama is the first African-American president, he takes pains to conduct himself as a president who happens to be black. That position has angered some African-Americans who have complained Obama is not addressing their needs.
Weve heard of no complaints today.
