Obamas still church homeless halfway through 2009 (They need a mosque.)

WASHINGTON, DC - President Barack Obama is still looking for a church home more than a year after resigning from the Chicago church led by his controversial former pastor Jeremiah Wright.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the first family has yet to join a church because Obama doesn't want his attendance to disrupt other people's worship.

Gibbs says Obama enjoys services led by Camp David's chaplain on weekends the family spends at the presidential retreat, but they're not members there.

In 2009, the Obamas have only attended Sunday church services twice in Washington. Two days before the inauguration, they visited the 19th Street Baptist Church. On Easter Sunday, the first family worshipped at St. John's Episcopal Church across Lafayette Park from the White House.

But Gibbs says the Obamas' search for a formal church home in the Washington area continues.

For heaven’s sake, don’t people realize that church services are video taped?! And that to get a video to obamanation would be a piece of cake? I would bet the farm that obamanation is still under the “inflamanation” of rev. wright.. wright is as big a liar as obamanation...

Who needs a church? He has a mirror.

Hadn’t we heard that they hadn’t attended church since Election Day? These are not your typical Christians, that’s for sure.

DON’T CARE...The fact that he might go into a building that is air conditioned on Wednesdays and Sundays does not matter to me. My Prayer to the G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is that He smacks him across the bridge of his nose and shows him the truth, and that he accepts it.

“The Mutt’s a muslim...........”

Do not let a distaste for Muslims blind you to the STRONG probability that Obama is no more than a Secularist. The churches he has attended, may merely be another social connection for him. A simple association to provide some “street cred” for the voter base. Remember Clinton carrying a bible with the big red cross painted on it into the church as a photo opportunity? This, after being found out re. Lewinsky?

Is Obama as a Muslim more frightening than that of a Secularist? At least a Muslim has some religious ethics (perhaps very different than a Christians, but ethics nonetheless). A secularist, on the other hand, is only answerable to wherever the public wind sends him. A secularist has no base at all to rest upon. In some ways, I would prefer him as a devout Muslim over what I fear he is. In time, there may be more transparency, but I’m afraid we are finding out far too much about him already if we are not completely blind to it.

All you need is a rug, kick off your shoes, Adhan playing in the background, face Mecca and Obama is all set to pray five times a day .

No need to pretend I'm Christian anymore.

Well, it is hard for Hussein, he attended the Jeremiah Wright Church of Hate for many years, but you know Hussein never heard a word old Jeremiah said.

Perhaps Hussein could just move Jeremiah to DC and listen up.

BAck in 1999, when I visited DC, I don’t recall a Church of Moloch, or House of B’aal anywhere. Maybe ‘O’ is putting in one in the basement of the (former) White House?

I guess all the Unitarian/Universalist “churches” in DC are full up.

I was thinking he might feel comfortable if they make him a special pew with one of those 3-view mirrors they have in clothing stores...he would be there faithfully each week.

Dollars to donuts says they will choose a mosque. Its just not the right time, yet!

Remember, this is the largest muslim country in the world.

Well isn't that considerate of the Obamas?

Every other president in history has managed to attend church, even Clinton. I guess the presence of all those presidents wasn't significant enough for any congregants to notice. Only the BarakStar would cause a frenzy. What a narcissist.

Somehow I get the feeling that he has a small alter set up somewhere in the White House where he goes to worship
