WaPo ^ | 1/16/11 | Hamil Harris

President Obama and the first family will join D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray to worship at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Northwest during a service that will reflect on the spiritual fervor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Last year the president delivered a major address the Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Districts Vermont Avenue Baptist Church where King spoke when he was alive.

It is a true shame that this country elected something so irreligious that his attendance at church would be a news item.

Yeah, I can’t remember hearing when Bush would attend Church on Sunday.

Will Jeremiah Wright be there?

TRIANGULATION
#1-Obunghole going to church is him saying he is God fearing when all he does is use religion.
#2 He solidifies his Afro-American base for his next election
#3 Already the Kenyan is campaigning for 2012
#4 once a Mohammedan always a Mohammedan unless you specifically renounce it and get baptized. Obama has done neither

“Good for him.”

Don't get too enthused. I'm quite sure this is all for show in part of his remake to look less like the left wing radical he actually is. It's all politics and image remake so that the nit-wit voters will fawn over his deep religious beliefs.

If it's an AME Church like the ones we have down South—it COULD do him some good.
The brothers and sisters down here really know how to praise the Lord.

Church is a photo-op for Odingo. Nothing more.

He is only going because of MLK, to a black church.
Everything is cold, calculated, and based on race or community values, never faith.

Simple: Obama is trying to shore up his base. Blacks are very discouraged by this president.

More show from Obama caused by his worry over polls that show more and more Americans are thinking of him as a Muslim instead of a Christian!!

Maybe Clinton can loan him the huge Bible prop he used in the 90's.

It Might.

These Churches are quite socially conservative, pro-life and not very fond on the homosexual agenda.

Bu, since it’s a DC Church, especially on the NW side of DC, it will be lefty and probably Black Liberation oriented.

At the church he’ll be attending will more than likely be preaching about the evils of talk radio and how Sarah Palin is the antichrist and how they managed to get into that boy in Tuson’s head and instructed him to kill.
