The Obamas Attend Sunday Church Service in D.C.

9/6/09 Does the president attend church NOW During the campaign Obama often referred his faith and church attendence. Pretty much a quite on that issue now.

To those who felt Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a comedian, please remember that he was speaking the truth in so many dimensions that was way above the head of the press and most Americans. Rev. Wright was a prophet whose words resonate now in the aftermath of the economic collapse in the U.S. When the rich and unrighteous prey on the poor and helpless, God will avenge the greedy whoremongers in the end. Whether atheists like it or not, there is a God and he will not be mocked. And if you don't believe what I say, then you're toast because where you're going to spend an eternity is one hot hell hole. So, instead of spewing such ignorant judgmental criticisms at your next president, be grateful that the one national treasure in this country, the Christian community, will be praying that President Obama will keep God in his life because he probably knows that with God on his side, he has no one (bigots, anti-Obamites, cynics, et al)to fear. Peace and Love

This must be a difficult decision. Choosing a church that feels right for your family is difficult enough, but add on the invasion of privacy for the congregation, as well as the distraction of secret service agents and it becomes more problematic.

Judge not lest you be judged !!

Afrocentrism and Black Liberation Theology is racists. Its bizarre that people feel the need to censors that fact.

I wish people worried as much about their own actions and faith (or not) than they do about others. Some just show how dumb they themselves are, from their public comments. One can tell, just from a few comments, which way the commenter voted. Lets not tear down our future president, before he even takes office. Those that dont believe in God, or any religion, that is your choice. Do not try to tear down those that do. They just might be right, and then where are you when your end comes?

The church Obama attended in Chicago was not a racist church. That was the branding the 'right wing' gave it in an attempt to smear Obama. Quit spouting catch phrases and nonsense.

Will Barry choose another racist, anti-American church to spend the next 20 years in? Probably not. He has too much attention on him now. The man is phony and will hopefully be exposed for what he is very soon....anti-American, socialist, anti-Israel, and racist.

Mark- No, he's not for abortion rights in all nine months. During his campaigning, he spoke out against late term abortions, saying that the mother's mental health shouldn't be used as a justification for termination. Some women and women's groups didn't appreciate his equivocation.

Obama is Pro-Choice.

Has voted to support abortion rights in all 9 months of pregnancy.

Why did Obama choose a black church? If he is half white and supposedly for all Americans, why is he perpetuating the black/white segregation we spent so many years getting rid off?

The Obamas are an African-American family. It was an historic African-American church. Seems fitting to me. Besides, it's not necessarily the final choice.

"The Obamas are honored to worship this Sunday at 19th Street and look forward to learning more about many churches in the District,” Obama’s director of religious affairs, Joshua DuBois said. “They will choose a church home at a time that is best for their family.”

there are some truly ignorant people out there. At first they didn't like his PASTOR at a Baptist church in Chicago, then they think he is a Muslim. You can't have it both ways. Like Colin Powell said, the real answer is "so what". You gonna crucify all highschool students for the acts of those two nuts at columbine? or Oklahoma City? I hope the answer is no. Hmm, lets see, a man who went to two prestigious universities, who has a true understanding of the U.S. Constitution, yea we sure don't want a guy like that in there (sarcastic for those dimwits out there). After three tours in Iraq, finally someone who knows which war we ought to fight.

The Obamas have a right to attend church if that is thier choice. After all isn't that a constitutional right. He and his wife are raising a family and there is nothing wrong in providing a church environment for them.

What's he doing in a church? He's a muslim!

GOD, not allah the moon god, bless America!

I don't know which group of respondents to this article scares me the most A) The angry Christian fundamentalists or B)the angry atheists who claim that they are right and everyone else is wrong. Please save us from both!

....and thats "Mr. Infidel" to you, WWW!

....And Hilda goes for money!! Her god is the almighty dollar....ask Bubba!

Yeah, Liz...we need another 'devout' president like we need the bubonic plague!

Hillary Clinton is very devout; I dare say, much more genuinely than our President Elect. He goes for show.
