POLITICO: President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors. On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym. Asked about the president-elect's decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other ...

Obama Skipping Church
Politics Daily —
... Politico has a story up that's sure to re-ignite the "Barack Obama is a secret Muslim!" conspiracy theories. You see, it has been a while since Obama has prayed to the Christian God inside of an official church. Since quitting Trinity United back in June in the wake of the Jeremiah Wright escapades, the Obamas have yet to settle on a new house of worship. Here's the shocking lede: ...
Because of His Great Deal of Respect for Places of Worship... Obama Skips Church
Gateway Pundit —
No, No, No... Not, God Bless America... God-D*** America. I think we have now heard it all... Barack Obama is skipping church to workout because of his great respect for places of worship. Of course, this new found respect for God's house was not so evident at his former place of worship: Maybe he just hasn't found a pastor he can relate to? The Politico reported: President-elect Barack Obama has yet ...

And if you think it's important for a President-elect to make a public show of attending church, just remember that: On his first day as president-elect, following weeks of Florida recounts and court hearings, ...
Should Barack Obama go to church?
Althouse —
He doesn't go. It's kind of a big production for him to go. And maybe he doesn't want to go. Do you have a problem with that?

... : Obama Skips Church for Gym (Nov. 23) - Since the election, future President Barack Obama has traded Sunday morning pews for some quality time at the gym. The Obamas have refrained from public prayer for fear their large retinue would disturb the church service, according to an anonymous aide who spoke with Politico.com. "They do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw," said the aide, according to Politico. Since the election, Obama has been focusing on building his administration team. Monday, ...

Obama's Churchgoing Habits Overexamined By Politico
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
... Recently, Politico's Jonathan Martin and Carol E. Lee wrote a nonsensically long article on Obama's post-election church-going habits that read like an undergraduate composition assignment and was just as boring. It didn't mention how George W. Bush rarely went to church during his time as President, either, which would have gone a long way to making MediaMatters happy, but would have made the piece even more long and boring. ...
