2. Because nothing else is happening.... |
|
.... yesterday, I got 11 Tweets from 10 diff reporters telling me what the First Family had for dinner.
(It was steak, roasted potatoes and green beans. Pie for dessert but no one was able to get the scoop on what KIND of pie.)

3. The Obamas going to church is NOT rare. |
|
When The Obamas are at Camp David they attend mass at a chapel at near by. It is 'only' rare that the media talks about Obama going.

17. The Bushes and the Clintons went regularly. |

The Clintons went to a Methodist church, although Bill is a Baptist.

FYI, whatever POTUS does is news.
They're not much in the public view in Hawaii, so when they are, its 'news.'

12. I kinda like the saying |
|
"Being in a church no more makes someone a Christian than being in a garage makes someone a car"
They may have/attend a "service" or have their time with their God ANYwhere...
But I guess people obsessed with he and his family not being filmed or photographed weekly entering/leaving a church won't/don't get that.

14. Ugh I see the press is in rare form with the shocking news that the President attended church |
|
services. When did it become custom for the press to monitor the church habits of the President?
