Safely Elected, Barack Obama Can Start Skipping Church Again

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Presidential elections in our country tend to put greater emphasis on church attendance than, say, international nuclear proliferation. And this year was no exception, with pastors like Jeremiah Wright and John Hagee getting far more press exposure than actual presidential candidates like Tom Vilsack and Jim Gilmore.

No one knew this better than Barack Obama, whose campaign nearly collapsed under the weight of Wright's controversial sermons and God-awful JFK impersonation. The Illinois Senator felt forced to drop out of Wright's church and bounce between a number of other ones between late April and Election Day.

But now that he won, he can finally drop that whole act

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.

Indeed, there are few place you're more likely to find Obama than not in church. Recall, if you will, the controversy surrounding Wright's "God damn America" sermon. Obama claims to have never heard Wright utter those words. Why?

Because he didn't attend church that day.

And where was Obama when Hagee declared that Hitler was sent by God to herd the Jews to Israel? Hypocritically playing basketball perhaps.

Come to think of it, Obama has also been neglecting his obligations to secretly attend a mosque and secretly pray toward Mecca five times per day ever since the day he was born!

What a disappointment.  Doesn't Obama realize that religious zealots make by far the most entertaining presidents?  The man hasn't even taken office, and already he's making Dick Cheney look like Jimmy Swaggart at a pentacostal tent revival.

  1. Hagee was not associated with Obama – he endorsed John McCain. He is still a nutjob though…I have yet to figure out why his endorsement of McCain never got the press that Wright did. His comments are more religious than political, but just as obscene and absurd.

  2. Astronauts are PRAYING for wine from their "water closet converter", but so far, only something that smells like yellow vinegar.

  3. Ok, so skip church. But to be caught working out instead? Let the dumb President jokes begin!

  4. Congregations would keep expecting you to change tap water into communion wine. Or grape juice. Whatever. But don't dare do the wine thing for the grape juice crowd!

  5. Makes sense to me. It must be awfully awkward going to church when you're the Second Coming.

  6. Damn it Obama! Church time is for watching football, not lifting weights.
