Oh my Lordy…. Now the stupidity has started.
Via Politico:
President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.
On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.
Asked about the president-elect’s decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.
“Because they have a great deal of respect for places of worship, they do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw,” said the aide.
Both President-elect George W. Bush and President-elect Bill Clinton managed to attend church in the weeks after they were elected.
In November of 1992, Clinton went to services in Little Rock, Ark., on the three weekends following his election, taking pre-church jogs on the first two and attending on the third weekend a Catholic Mass with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with whom he was trying to smooth over lingering campaign tensions.
I know I might be a little late to the troff here, but honestly, does this even remotely matter? I mean, honestly. 🙄
….and I thought I was reactionary. Yeeesh…

He’s got a lot he should be praying about. I would recommend that he go.
Oh nonsense. He can pray anywhere… He doesn’t have to be in a damn church to do so… nice try though. 🙄 😛
