Actually, President Reagan did the same thing... he didn’t want the services to be about him, when they should be about Him. Other Presidents have skipped attending church for the same reason as BO states here.
For once, I actually agree with Obama. It would be about him, it always is. This issue is totally between him and God, come on Freepers, focus. There are other, less personal issues out there that are affecting our lives and our children’s futures that need challenged.
