I didn't go to church either.. spent Christmas eve and Christmas day with family eating, watching Christmas movies, playing games.

I did go to church on the Sunday before though... I never have gone to church on Christmas.

I do realize Christmas eve services are a big part of the celebration for other people, but it doesn't bother me that our president didn't go to church... cuz I didn't either. Going to church doesn't make us Christians.

I thought about going to the Lutheran Christmas eve service even though they won't serve me communion... but stayed with the family instead. (smart move)

You're right. We don't go to church on Christmas Eve either. Everything else they do just annoys me. LOL!

The article does say that Reagan didn't attend church services on Christmas either.

Quote:

President Reagan also remained in Washington over Christmas — reportedly so members of the Secret Service could be near their families — although Reagan didn't venture out to a local church service.

Obama (the Messiah) probably assumes that everyone ELSE is at "church" when they are in his presence.

I am sure we will be seeing some Chick-like tracks, one of which will be titled "Can Obama pray to Obama and still be Obama?".

"Never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity."

— ABC’s Bill Weir on World News, January 20 during Inaugural Coverage

Newsweek's Evan Thomas on MSNBC's Hardball on June 5: "In a way, Obama is standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of God."

Did these people go to college?

A few years ago it would have been someone like Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, who would have penned those lines.

You must have seen or read Newsbusters Media Reaction to the Best Notable Quotables of 2009! Saw a clip of Bozell on Fox&Friends. Hilarious! :toofunny

I didn't go to church Christmas Eve or Christmas Day either. I don't know of any apostolic churches in my area that had services those days. In fact, most cancelled the Wednesday mid-week service as well.

As much as I dislike BHO, I think the article is a little much ado about nothing.
