Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters did not go to church on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, according to press pool reports. The Obamas are in Kailua, Hawaii for a 17-day Christmas vacation.
Although the Obamas did not go to church for Christmas, President Obama did play golf

I never hear of US president ever not go to Church on Christmas
Maybe I am wrong
My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher and no we never went to church on Christmas. It was closed. We went on Easter because it is always on a Sunday and Sunday church was normal.
No photo ops, so why would they go to a church unless Kanye is singing?
If there was any doubt...
Why should he, he is not a Christian. We went to church in Chicago ONLY to get the endorsement of the black preachers.
Did he go to mosque?
Why would he go to church? He worships himself.
At the rick of sounding critical of this posting, who really gives a crap if this Christian pretender goes to church or not. There is a Christian church out there that remains undefiled by his presence.
If you say so FRiend. We always go Christmas eve, traditionally. Probably my favorite service of the year is the Sunday service the week of Christmas.Happy FReeping !!
That's the aspect that's disturbing. If he doesn't believe in Christianity, I'm glad for the would-be fellow worshippers that they didn't have to put up with Obama's hypocrisy and all of the stuff with Secret Service, the media etc. The problem is that Obama has become so removed from any need to do what's right for the nation or what people expected from him that he doesn't even bother to keep the support of his minority Christian base on board.
You can check out. But you can never leave.
Agreed. Have never attended church on Christmas or Christmas Eve. Always had our Christmas service the Sunday before. Usually a Christmas program with the kids that evening or some weeknight before Christmas Day.
But The Obama’s not going at all, ever, is not surprising.
It’s not an election year....why go to Church..
#8. I prefer to think that Obama mooned himself in that locker room. I could be wrong, butt...
More specifically, Romans 14:5 "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." (ESV)
The Scriptures know no Christmas
But the Scriptures know the birth of Christ, and to honor the birth of Christ is a good thing, to the extent that the honor goes to Christ, who with the Father and the Spirit is the focus of all worship, all honor and glory and praise.
In the (LCMS) church that I attend, we had a service of lessons and carols on Christmas Eve, while other area Lutheran churches followed the traditional liturgy. I would not denigrate any Christian who honors Christ by choosing not to celebrate Christmas, on the basis of Romans 14:5, and I would hope that such Christians would not denigrate our honoring of Christ by choosing to celebrate Christmas.
Re Have you heard of any muslim going to church? Yes, to burn it down and kill the Christians in it - Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Israel, Sweden, France, the old Yugoslavia, Turkey, etc.
Their definition of “holy” means enough bullets to kill you.
Who expects this bunch to go to CHURCH?
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the headline. If I recall, going to church on Christmas is a Catholic / Orthodox practice. I don’t think either Bushes or Clinton or Reagan ever attended services on Christmas day, so for me, this is a big nothingburger.
after 5 years of pro-islam pronouncements, policies, military actions and you expect him to go to church on christmas?
