Sundays Are For The Gym (Not For "Faith Experience")

Politico reports:

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.

Asked about the president-elect's decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.

"Because they have a great deal of respect for places of worship, they do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw," said the aide.


So, religion is out, faith experience is in.

But at least, he's referring to a church.

The NEW Lord has arrived, all praise the O....

Isn't it amazing that if you take the vowels out the word "GoYiM", you get "GYM"?
