Let me get this straight: the MSM terrorized parishoners atObama's last church yet ...
. . . yet they want tpo talk about how he has yet to attend a worship service? Why so they can find more parishoners at another church to terrorize?

Obama skips church, heads to gym
By JONATHAN MARTIN & CAROL E. LEE | 11/23/08 3:41 PM EST

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.

5. I didn't know that Reagan never went to church
I read an article that said Bush had very sporadic church attendance.

4. Exercising is much better anyways. It'll keep him healthy much better than going to church.

6. That's alright.
The last time I was at church was when my family dragged me to Easter services.

Do we haaaave to have a President who's obligated to make public displays of piety?

7. MSM hasn't even acknowledged that we decided who the winner was.
All they continue to show is there opposition to our decision.

11. And how many times has McCain gone to church this entire year? Pretty much just for the Easter eggs.

What a silly non-story.
