Obama "vetting" churches - which will make him look best?
From The Washington Times:
Obamas seek new church as Easter nears
Thursday, April 9, 2009
Joseph Curl and Christina BellantoniWith Easter four days away, the Great Church Search is on for the Obamas, who are seeking a presidential place of worship in Washington nearly a year after a divisive break from their Chicago church and the incendiary sermons of its controversial pastor.

Would you prefer he not go at all? He easily could make that decision as well but then everyone would be on him for not going to church. It's a no-win situation. (BTW, the Reagans rarely attended church while in DC but their Christian supporters seemed to turn a blind eye to it.) At least they are looking around for a church--as most Protestants do, mind you--instead of just going to one of the default two "presidential" churches. If they were going just for show, that's where they'd go. But I think the desire to look around means they are actually looking for something to feed their family spiritually. I will hope that is the case anyway, instead of jumping to a negative conclusion as you did.
I find this post rather petty and mean, especially considering it is Good Friday.
[Well, gosh, Christy - thanks so much for your judgment of me on Good Friday. Talk about jumping to a negative conclusion. . .
Keep in mind that this particular situation does not exist in a vacuum, but in a context of a lack of authenticity by Obama, who may very possibly not be a Christian at all]

BHO said April 6, 2009 in Turkey
that “one of the great strengths of the United States is that it does not consider itself a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
I suppose he is struggling with those pesky "ideals and a set of values".
It would be interesting if BHO would elaborate on just what the "ideals and a set of values" are.
