When you have done nothing that people can look up to, well you at least try to look good. So he is building muscles. It is all about looks.

This guy very probably looks in the mirror every morning and night as he practices his newest “why marxism is good for you” speech. If he had been a rapper instead of a politician, he would wear the most and heaviest gold chains and have the most diamonds.

Mike,

When was it ever said that Obama did not miss a single Sunday in 20 years at Rev. Wright’s church?

Also please note that Ronald Reagan was a sporadic church goer. If I remember correctly he gave the same reason Obama gives in the above article.

President elect Obama is still looking for an official who can swear him in on innoguration day without speaking his middle name.

Dave: “When was it ever said that Obama did not miss a single Sunday in 20 years at Rev. Wright’s church?

Also please note that Ronald Reagan was a sporadic church goer. If I remember correctly he gave the same reason Obama gives in the above article.”

Give it a rest. Nitpicking won’t accomplish anything. Ronald Reagan was the best thing to ever happen to this country. By this time next year you won’t even admit you voted for this manchurian candidate.

Is anyone surprised? Really? Has our perception of Obama changed any from what we knew him to be prior to his being elected president? How? He is still the leftist marxist he was a few weeks ago.

Guess Arnold got under his skin at that McCain rally and it’s still smarting.

Truth be told, why should Obama suddenly attend a traditional church?

There are no Black separatist churches in Washington, at least none that have Rev. Wright, can’t just hear any old sermon now can we.

Mike,

So going to a gym is self worship?? NOT!! It’s a good thing he gets to gym often.
Where did you ever get the idea he did not miss a single sunday for 20 years??
assuming again? do you listen to yourself so much your spew becomes truth?

jainphx: separatist churches in Washington? He is not in Washington! He’s in Chicago..

@Real American Patriot:

So, what color are your pom poms and are the tights comfortable? Let’s hear it Patty, rah, rah, sis boom bah…..

Perhaps our Obamaton goons need more documentation. Let’s see if my efforts to provide it are met with appreciation or evasion?

Dave asked : “When was it ever said that Obama did not miss a single Sunday in 20 years at Rev. Wright’s church?”

Well, Dave, OBAMA SAID THAT, in this interview in 2004:

FALSANI
Do you still attend Trinity?

OBAMA:
Yep. Every week. 11 oclock service. Ever been there?

I can understand your confusion Dave since Obama changed his tune once the controversy over Wright erupted and claimed “You know, I won’t say that I was a perfect attendee. I was regular in spurts.”

Interesting that he asked if the reporter had ever been there. I guess he was worried he might have to explain some of the more “controversial” sermons he claimed he never heard.

And as for worshipping himself, that might be a stretch, but I doubt it. Considering that on his campaign web site his followers are directed to spend the same 11 AM hour on Sunday meditating for Obama instead of going to church. Perhaps they all do it at the gym?

Does that help Dave and CRAP? Are you now ready to apologize for suggesting I was full of it?

So Hussein O used the church (sic) in Chicago to further his political aims. He also used the organized crime (democrat party) family in Chicago to further his political aims. He can’t go any higher in politics so he if giving the church and the mob the finger like he gave Hillary and McCain on national TV.
Marxist, Socialist, Communist throughout history have used whatever was necessary to obtain power so don’t be shocked that Hussein O conned the entire democrat party (weak minded people filled with hate are easy to con) by using the tactics he was taught by his communist/Islamic mentor’s. The Lame Stream Media has spent the last 8 years pushing democrats into BDS and it worked so well they are now totally insane, and (BDS) has been proven an uncurable mental illness. The Lame Stream Media push worked so well the LSM is now on the verge of collapse, which proves the inmates can’t run the nut house.

(New Republic) Bush is one of the most explicitly religious politicians in American history. Both of his presidential campaigns have used religion to appeal emotionally to voters. The entire philosophy behind his signature slogan, “compassionate conservatism,” rests on the belief that religious communities have a unique ability to tend to the nation’s social ills. And yet, after the flood of coverage around Bush’s first–and only–visit to a neighborhood church during inauguration weekend in Washington, D.C., no one has bothered to report on the president’s whereabouts on Sunday mornings.

Around Washington, D.C., it’s considered bad form to point out that Bush doesn’t regularly attend church. “You don’t have to go to church to be a good religious person,” argue his defenders. And they’re right. They have made much political hay, however, over polls that indicate Democratic voters attend church less frequently than Republicans, so even the most brazen feel compelled to offer explanations for Bush’s absence from church membership rolls.

The very fact that the president doesn’t attend church, some leading conservatives insist, is proof of what a good Christian he is. Unlike certain past presidents they could name but won’t–ahem, cough, Bill Clinton–Bush doesn’t feel the need to prove his religiosity. “This president has not made an issue of where he goes to church,” says Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “I find it refreshing that we don’t have a president coming out of church with a large Bible under his arm.” Conservatives relish this opportunity for a little gratuitous Clinton-bashing. In private, however, they admit the explanation doesn’t hold up. “I really don’t get it,” one prominent Bush partisan told me. “There’s no reason why the president couldn’t find a church around here if he wanted to.”

Mike,

Goons – that’s a little rough even for you. But I know what a tizzy you get in whenever anyone challenges you. Even Obama’s original statement is not equivalent to saying that he *never* missed a service in 20 years. That’s not spin, it’s the simple meaning of words in the English language.

Care to comment on Ronald Reagan?

Akela,

“Nitpicking won’t accomplish anything.”

Yeah, don’t want those pesky little facts get in the way of our ODS.

“By this time next year you won’t even admit you voted for this manchurian candidate.”

Don’t count on it.

Meditate for Obama with candles and incense? Oooh… Hmm…

Sounds like messiah worship to me, Mike. Good point & thanks for that link.

Of course, the time frame requested would preclude the attendance of church services. Why not choose Friday? Oh that’s right, Friday is the Muslim Sabbath and the day for religious gatherings. He wouldn’t want to upset Islam worshipers by suggesting such a thing, would he? And since he had Jewish supporters, for whom Sabbath starts Friday evening and ends on Saturday evening. Yet if you’re Christian and you were also an Obama supporter, I suppose it is okay to have Obama-Biden as the icon you revere on your own Sabbath day. That’s what? 2 of the 10 Commandments one must break every week to count yourself as an Obama devotee? 2 more checks in the “Obama=Possible Anti-Christ” column in my score-book.

Does anyone else see anything blasphemous in this, or is it just me? Please explain to me again how everyone figures him to be a devout Christian when he sets this standard and still does not refute those who call him “Messiah” (Including BTW Farrakhan, who is a Muslim, NOT a Christian).

Yeah Dave I didn’t expect we would get more than spin from you.

What is it about the words “Every week. 11 oclock service” do you fail to understand?

Sounds like he’s claiming regular church attendance here. Oh, and that’s something Reagan never claimed, though I do not know if he attended services after being elected.

The point here, and perhaps I should have stressed this in the original post, is that upon winning an election for the most important job on earth, recent presidents usually attend a church service to help prepare themselves spiritually for the ordeal. Obama went to the gym.

Thanks for confirming that the additional effort I made to clarify things here for your benefit was a waste of time. You’ll understand why in future I don’t make the effort.

If you cannot concede you were wrong when the FACTS are clear then what is the point?

1. We all worship in our own ways
2. It is none of your business what he does religiously. He elected him to be a secular president, not a pope.
3. Maybe you self-serving Pharicees should stop praying so loudly in the temple worry about your own backyard.

So RBH: Did you light a candle and some incense and mediate for Obama at 11 AM this Sunday too?

I realize you don’t care if Obama is a liar (“Every week. 11 oclock service”) or if he worships himself but some of us do.

Talk about cleaning up your own back yard!

You know what? Most of my family didn’t attend church yesterday, either. I went, but my family was utterly exhausted and I decided that we’d have some personal devotional time later.

I’m not going to jump on the guy for skipping a few weeks of church. He can’t go ANYWHERE without disrupting things, thanks to the Secret Service and (of course) the media, so why not take a break?

Wes: I am sure the rest of your family can schedule some time to chant, light incense and pray to Obama later in the week.

WORDS MATTER? JUST WORDS?

“You know, I won’t say that I was a perfect attendee. I was regular in spurts.” — BHO

Perhaps it was just a misquote, and it should have been “You know, . . . . I was regular in SPORTS.”

So, you see, there really is no problem. It’s all just a matter of perception, … or is that deception? My guess is that depends on which side of the lie your standing on.

But when it comes down to what is important, it isn’t just the words, but the deeds. And if the words are pleasant but the deeds stink, then… Houston, we have a problem.

Mike,

“Every week. 11 oclock service” where in that statement do you see this was every week for 20 years???

I believe you are the spinster sir!!

For your information, Mike, we’re a Southern Baptist family.

I don’t “pray to Obama,” and I don’t think that I’ve said anything here that deserves that kind of treatment.

Could someone please explain to me why anyone’s church going habits, or lack thereof, would make a difference to anyone else, and why this is at all newsworthy?

Cary

He says one thing, and does another. He’s a proven L-I-A-R (since it has to be spelt out for you), not only about that, but everything else, like probably even where he was born, and a couple hundred other things, as well.

So a strong faith in God means one has to go to church regularly?

Cary

A strong commitment to honesty means telling the truth, someting Obama seems all to good at avoiding. Stop trying to pretend I said something I didn’t

And while you’re at it, sign the petitions…

http://www.rallycongress.com/constitutional-qualification/1244/stop-obam

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81550

unsurprisingly, this goes to show that the man the leftist illuminati has built up was more concerned with votes than all else.

I’m simply trying to asses what you are saying. And sorry, I don’t normally sign on-line petitions, even if I agree with their premise.

This blog should be called “grasping at straws” instead of flopping aces.

Wes: I’m glad to hear you don’t pray to Obama. But do you still light the incense and chant?

Cary & Blast: This story is yet another indication of what is important in Obama’s life. Apparently thanking God for his win and asking for spiritual guidance in the toughest job in the world is less important to Obama than some me time at the gym.

You might recall that he choose to go the the gym in Germany rather than visit our injured soldiers in the hospital. I don’t suppose that bothered you either.

C.R.A.P.: I realize you would rather play your little semantic game than address the main point. So perhaps there is more to this post than your Obamaton friends would suggest.

Personally, I’ve thanked God for what I have and asked for guidance in some of the most unlikely places. Never had to prove it to anyone by making a show at church. Perhaps God would have him take care of his physical health by staying in shape – ensuring that his resistance does not go down and that his stamina remains while he embarks in the most stressful job in the world. Don’t underestimate the value of good health and excersise.

I’ve no time to look it up for sure, but I think I recall the visitation issue in Germany being a security concern. Certainly, it would have been good PR for him to go, and of course I was disappointed it didn’t happen.

But him not going to church? Come on! It’s petty and trivial. God is everywhere, not just in church.

Wes,

You’ll get use to Mike after a while if you hang in there. His m.o. is to insult first, think later (if at all). Civility is not his strong suit. Because remember, this is *his* America, not yours.

RAP:

Hi, I’m Dave Hussein Noble, I noticed Mike calls you CRAP. It’s an honor (or maybe its a perverse pleasure) to be insulted by Mike. Join the club. BTW, he has created his own personal syntax and interprets English sentences according to it. Get used to it.

Finally, Blast, with Mike that’s all too often the case. He also likes to create strawmen when your actual argument is too tough to answer.

Oh and Mike, this one’s for you too. Cheers, Captain America.

Dave: You’re not exactly a model of civility. Don’t make me laugh.

Cary: Glad to know you could care less if Obama’s first priority is himself. Sadly, you’ll realize later on how important a more balanced life is. But by then, the damage will have been done.

I have been trying to post this comment for a few time, it keeps getting stuck in spam everytime:

Mike: Light incense? Chant? You don’t know Southern Baptists, do you…*laugh*

@Mike’s America: You really didn’t read a word of what I wrote, did you? Or perhaps your own life has to be compartmentalized. Only pray at church, only read in the library, only eat in the dining room…. but you’ll piss anywhere, won’t you?

Cary: Your snide little name calling is the kind of “civility” we have come to expect from your kind. Civility, like free speech, is a one way street with you folks.

It’s pretty clear you think that Obama going to church is unimportant. Obviously you are comfortable with his priority of ME FIRST.

Whether Obama goes to church, or how or where he prays, or whether he prays to God or Allah isn’t the point here.

The point is that he would rather go to the gym for himself rather than go to church. It’s a pattern we have seen before. If you are so ill informed about the visit to the troops in hospital I suggest you look it up. Security was not an issue. Which do you think is more secure: a military hospital or a public square in Berlin surrounded by hundreds of thousands of screaming Germans?

One would think that if the country is SOOOO screwed up, as you people constantly suggest, that Obama just might want to reassure the masses by showing his face in church even if he doesn’t believe what is practiced there.

So, I guess I can conclude that things in this country are not so bad after all.

@Mike’s America:

I’m normally quite civil, but when you twist what I say into what you want it to mean, then you take what you get. There was no “name calling”, by the way, yet another twist of yours.

I couldn’t care less about Obama’s church going habits, nor any other President’s or politician’s, and showing their face in one isn’t going to make me feel better about a damn thing. Frankly, your logic, your argument and your methods of conveying both are rather sophomoric.

At the time I addressed your troops issue, I wasn’t home and didn’t have time to look it up -AS I SAID. Frankly, it isn’t relevant to the going to church issue.

So grasp at straws however you want. If this is the best you can do, then I feel pretty good. But I’d recommend, instead of offering ad hominem hyperbole, perhaps you’d do well to take some time to do some praying yourself.

So, I’m done with you. Go ahead and have the last word, but try to make it something intelligent, PLEASE.

“But I’d recommend, instead of offering ad hominem hyperbole, perhaps you’d do well to take some time to do some praying yourself.”

That’s the kind of smarmy B.S. we’ve come to expect from people like you.

Go hug a tree!

You’ll learn soon enough that character does matter. Maybe some day you’ll develop some character yourself!

“Come on guys…go easy on Obambi. He has to look good for all his male “staffers” you know.”

And just when you thought the discourse couldn’t get any more lowbrow, a gay joke emits from the smelly depths of the locker room. “Yeah, man, he’s a sissy. Yuk, yuk.”

In contrast to the Politico article this month, other articles in Nov. looking at that the Obamas and church finding reported Bush attended church very infrequently over his eight years in office:

In a November 17 article, the Associated Press’ Matthew Barakat reported that Obama “could choose, as many presidents have done, not to attend services at all. President George W. Bush, for instance, has only infrequently attended services in Washington, occasionally going to St. John’s [Church, near the White House].”

In a November 14 article, Time magazine senior editor Amy Sullivan noted that “Ronald Reagan didn’t go to church at all” and reported that while “[t]he Clintons drove down the street every Sunday to Foundry United Methodist … George W. Bush never became a regular member of any local church, preferring to worship most often at the chapel at Camp David.”

In a November 11 article, The Hill’s Jordy Yager wrote: “President Bush is widely known for his religious beliefs, but for eight years has not frequented a local church, at times citing security concerns.” Yager added that “security does not make regular worship impossible. Both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, for example, attended D.C.-area churches. Clinton’s church, Foundry Methodist Church, installed metal detectors because many tourists attended services on Sunday — some simply to catch a glimpse of the president.

…Perhaps Obama could also tout “security concerns” and the economic crisis for his past 3 church “absences”?

Mike wrote:

I guess he no longer needs the political and social connections that church provided.

Now he’s free to go back to doing what he does best: worship himself!

Mike, here’s one liberal who agrees with you.

I don’t want to keep beating the same horse, but watch Obama with the following in mind.

Firstly, I agree with you 100% that Obama is all about Obama. That was very clear from that excellent PBS special on Obama and McCain which aired the night before the election. Everything he’s done has been done in a very calculated fashion, to advance his own career. This includes moving to South Side Chicago, chumming up to Mayor Daly (through which he met Ayers, a close friend of Daly’s), joining his Church, going to Harvard Law and running for Law Review President, and so forth. I even think that he married Michelle, at least in part, to advance his career.

He has no bed rock principles. He’s not committed to any particular cause or ideology. I think that George W Bush was principled, but so was Jimmy Carter. I think that Clinton and Nixon were not principled. They were also about their own careers. Both, unfortunately, had serious personal flaws.

Obama is like Clinton and Nixon. Obama’s ambition is to be the greatest President in the history of the USA. But the only way he gets there is if he does a spectacularly good job.

What’s he done so far? Well, look at national defense. He’s keeping on Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense. His national security advisor is Marine Gen. Jim Jones. His NSA chief is Admiral Dennis Blair.

George W. Bush’s National Security Advisor was Condoleeza Rice. His Secretary of Defense was Rumsfeld.

So the idea that Obama is going to turn over the keys to Washington DC to Osama Bin Laden are greatly exaggerated.

Obama is an incredible politician. Here’s what I predict. He’s basically going to toss the hard core liberal “base” under the bus. Where else are they going to go? Are they going to vote for Sarah Palin? And he’s going to move as far as he can to the Right to marginalize the GOP and possibly to destroy the GOP, which will lose the economic conservatives to Obama and which will lose the strong national defense segment to Obama and which will be left only with the Evangelicals and racists and anti-immigrants as a dependable base.

Evaluate everything he does and ask yourself if everything he does is not consistent with the above strategy.

– Larry Weisenthal/Huntington Beach CA

It was Ah-Nold’s comment that he made stumping for McCain on the last days of the election about his girly-man arms that is haunting him… I suppose we can cut President Elect Chicken-legs some slack.

Larry you may well be correct.

But it is an open question whether Democrats in Congress, not to mention Moveon and the rest will allow Obama to govern from the center.

A column by Pat Buchanan in October summed it up:

Obama has chosen another course. Though he comes out of the McGovern-Jesse Jackson left, he has shed past positions like support for partial birth abortion as fast as he has shed past associations, from William Ayers to ACORN, from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to his fellow parishioners at Trinity United.

One question remains: Will a President Obama, with his party in absolute control of both Houses, revert to the politics and policies of the Left that brought him the nomination, or resist his ex-comrades’ demands that he seize the hour and impose the agenda ACORN, Ayers, Jesse, and Wright have long dreamed of?

Whichever way he decides, he will be at war with them, or at war with us. If Barack wins, a backlash is coming.

@Dave Noble:

I wish it were a joke, Dave. I truly do. Honestly, this is the thing I thought about when first seeing this story. Does he need to exercise like anyone else? Sure. But, Mr. Obama’s affinity to men just seems like the pink polka-dotted elephant in the living room, and had to be at least mentioned. If he wasn’t the Pres.-elect of the U.S.A., I would not loose any sleep over what he does in his private life!

I can’t believe your lack of morale Larry. So for you a President that is a liar, a manipulator, a fraud and an American’s hater is good for this country. WOW! And this is who you vote for. Like all always say: Like attracts like.

And don’t kid yourself, Obama will not be the greatest President, he will be the worst if he ever gets to be sworn in. And I sure hope he won’t be President in January. Obama has a narcissic personality disorder. And American needs someone who will work for them not for himself. Obama is only a puppet in Soro and others crooks hands. He will do hat they will tell him to do and he will ruin this country. When communism will be in U.S., you will see that I was right Larry. Meanwhile, keep dreaming!
