Mr. Obama said he would not select a church while living in the White House. “What we have decided for now is not to join a single church,and the reason is because Michelle and I have realized we are very disruptive to services,” he said.
Instead,he said he would from time to time visit St. John’s Church,across Lafayette Square from the White House,where many presidents have worshiped. He also said the family prefers to worship in the privacy of the presidential retreat when it spends the weekend there. “We love the chapel at Camp David,” he said.
And he noted that he is sent a daily devotional on his BlackBerry.
This is the first that I have ever heard of a president not going to church because he would be 'disruptive.'Was he worried about being disruptive when he flew to NY to see a Broadway show? when he goes golfing? vacationing? giving the American public the finger when they said NO to universal health care? Gee,could it be because he is NOT a Christian?
Of course Barry O'Dumbo he is not a Christian. A Christian wouldn't be friends with people like Bill Ayers,Rev. Wright,Van Jones,etc. A Christian wouldn't think it was "ok"to kill a baby from a botched abortion. The man is a fraud.

He is probably afraid of being further exposed for his un-American positions. Both his parents adhered to secular humanism (atheism),the foundation of communism. That is what influenced him in his formative years. A communist rejects all religions recognizing a diety. Government is their "god".
He probably knows there are many who would love a chance to kill him,as I've heard that more threats have been made on this president than any other in history. Not a popular man.
Wonder how happy those Americans are that voted Obama into office are now? And when Obama went overseas and give a speech and sad that "America is not a Christain nation,this show that Obama is not a Christain either. This is first time a US president has had the audacity to say this–just proves where his heart his. He is a shameful person to be leading our country. That he could ok all the banks,AIG and car manufacture buy outs,when so many American citizens are out of jobs is just outrageous and for this alone Obama should be impeached. And to add insult to injury,that Obama could even be considered for the Nobel Peace Award,let alone actually awarded the award is unbelievabe. Mary Dehaan
