Faux News: Obama Family don't attended the Church for Easter...

[nmbluesky]

Well.. Actually, Obama Family walk to the St. John's Episcopal Church today.

President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia walk across Lafayette Park to attend Easter Services at St. John's Episcopal Church on April 8, 2012


Happy Easter Day!

1. I expect those responsible for this egregious error will be fired from Fucked Noise.

8. No doubt they will also purge the sexual predators, convicted felons, and toe suckers

2. The girls are getting big

I guess I haven't seen a picture of them for a while. The oldest is as tall as Michele already.

22. Incredible

The Obamas appear older as well, but the girls have really grown.
Even that secret service agent is someone's grandpa in that pic though.

3. Ah but he didn't go to exactly the right church at exactly the right time...n/t

[treestar]

4. Oh more evidence of Muslim-ness!!!!!

The black dress of Malia secretly signals that she protests going and wants to go to a mosque instead!

Faux Noise has to come up with something to explain this walk across the park!

[aaaaaa5a]

5. Thats funny. I wonder if FOX will report what Romney and his mormon beliefs

will be doing for Easter?


I'm sure there right wing, religious, fanatic base would love to know.

6. Divided by God

IN American religious history, Nov. 8, 1960, is generally regarded as the date when the presidency ceased to be the exclusive property of Protestants. But for decades afterward, the election of the Catholic John F. Kennedy looked more like a temporary aberration.

Post-J.F.K., many of America’s established churches went into an unexpected decline, struggling to make their message resonate in a more diverse, affluent and sexually permissive America. The country as a whole became more religiously fluid, with more church-switching, more start-up sects, more do-it-yourself forms of faith. Yet a nation that was increasingly nondenominational and postdenominational kept electing Protestants from established denominations to the White House.

The six presidents elected before Kennedy’s famous breakthrough included two Baptists, an Episcopalian, a Congregationalist, a Presbyterian and a Quaker. The six presidents elected prior to Barack Obama’s 2008 victory included two Baptists, two Episcopalians, a Methodist and a Presbyterian. Jimmy Carter’s and George W. Bush’s self-identification as “born again” added a touch of theological diversity to the mix, as did losing candidates like the Greek Orthodox Michael S. Dukakis. But over all, presidential religious affiliation has been a throwback to the Eisenhower era — or even the McKinley era.

That is, until now. In 2012, we finally have a presidential field whose diversity mirrors the diversity of American Christianity as a whole.'

7. I would be happier if the church-going

Were less frequent, truthfully.

I find these public displays of religious affiliation a bit annoying. But then, I'm an atheist who doesn't find organized religion appealing.........

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Indeed

I'd be far happier with an atheist in the White House, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

[Ikonoklast]

16. I'm almost willing to bet that we've already had one.

But popular conventions kept them from declaring themselves as such.

[DavidDvorkin]

20. You're probably right

I should have said an openly atheist president.

[aaaaaa5a]

12. Agreed. Remember Reagan?

You could tell the rare times he was in Church he didn't really want to be there. It was all a show just to appease brainwashed, religious, right wing, crusaders.

[Arugula Latte]

13. I'd prefer to think the Prez knows it's all b.s. but goes along as a show

than to think he really bought into Bronze Age mythology.

Obama is smart -- I can't believe he'd buy what they're selling hook, line and sinker.

9. Did FAUX Really Say That? nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. So did the Smartest Guy in the Room go worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster or not?

Inquiring minds want to know...

17. Cthulhu?

[pinboy3niner]

21. Cthulhu!

15. The Fox Ministry Of Propaganda should just change their slogan to "Whatever Obama does is bad".

"According to us."
