WASHINGTON -- The Obama family has a tradition of going to church on Father's Day; that's what Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, told Jimmy Kimmel when he taped an interview with the talk show host Friday.

But the Obama family recently quit Trinity United Church of Christ, in the wake of divisive comments by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Rev. Michael Pfleger. Where to go?

Today, the Obamas leave their Kenwood home on a landmark block on Chicago's South Side to attend church at the nearby Apostolic Church of God, 6320 S. Dorchester.

But Obama will have to work on Father's Day. He will "speak about the responsibilities we have as fathers and parents to help our children achieve their dreams," his campaign said.

Parental responsibility is a theme Obama has sounded before.

Last February, in Beaumont, Texas, Obama drew wild cheers as he told a mostly African-American crowd that parents need to shape up, turn off the TV, help their kids with their homework and stop letting them grow fat eating Popeyes chicken for breakfast.

"It's not good enough for you to say to your child, 'Do good in school,' and then when that child comes home, you got the TV set on, you got the radio on, you don't check their homework, there is not a book in the house, you've got the video game playing," Obama said.
