Alexandria, VA (AP) — President Barack Obama and his family attended Easter service at the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, whose history dates back almost 200 years to when Thomas Jefferson was in the White House. Obama along with wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia were welcomed to the historic church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley, who noted that like the first lady, he is a native of Chicago’s South Side. “How fitting that on the day we celebrate the rising of our Lord and savior, we also welcome our sitting president,” Wesley said, as the congregation rose to their feet in applause. “This is not selfie time,” Wesley said jokingly. “Let the brother worship in the house of God.” Churchgoers traditionally walk around to shake hands and give hugs during the greetings and announcements portion of service, but the pastor encouraged the crowd to stay in their seats and greet only their closest neighbors, as the sanctuary was tightly secured with Secret Service agents. The choir— including women in purple dresses and men sporting purple ties— sang a stirring rendition of the hymn “He Lives,” prompting most of the church, filled to capacity, to clap, sing and sway to the thumping organ keys while ushers collected the offering. The lively pastor based his sermon around a scripture from 1 Corinthians 15 on the life and resurrection of Christ. “Where do you stand in the resurrection of Christ,” he asked. “You either believe it or reject it.”

Obama goes to Church even though he’s a hypocrite.
Exorcise then reconsecrate the building.
I very seriously doubt that the Holy Spirit was present in the building.
That won’t help. It will have to be demolished.
Holy water and salt.
It’s the only way.
He was welcomed.
“How fitting that on the day we celebrate the rising of our Lord and savior, we also welcome our sitting president,” Wesley said, as the congregation rose to their feet in applause.”
Did anyone else’s head just explode?
As big a sham as his “marriage” to Michael.
Obama family Quarantine and deconn the whole place.
You misspelled the word "desecrates."
How fitting that on the day we celebrate the rising of our Lord and savior, we also welcome our sitting president”
OMG. How fitting??? As if the Kenyan is a freaking deity? On the same level as the risen Savior? Sickening. Every day is a new insult to all things reasonable, sane or sacred with these people.
Nope..... Marxists(democrats/rinos) worship givernment..
Does he ever go to a white church?
Yep...that sentence astonished me. What the pastor meant to say was “How fitting the second coming of Jesus has occurred here in my church on Easter Sunday.”
As per the rev, he was amongst “brothers”.
It is likely a moot point.
If you’re not black, homosexual , communist, or some ungodly combination of all three this clown wants nothing to do with you.
I wonder if he tithed with taxpayer’s money?
if you rearrange the letters, it spells Descartes.
Almost.
