St. John's, now that seems a far stretch from Rev. Wrights? How does one make that move so quickly? However, it is probably and improvement.

Interesting you say that. The strong participation in a Muslim day of prayer a Friday or two ago is his pro Wright endeavor.

I was so touched, I have been so wrong. Obama is a Christian after all, and they wolked all the way all by themselves. Wonder how much that two blocks cost the tax payers? They are spreading the wealth and a lot of it is going their way.

I believe they walked home. I am sure they couldn't take Air farce One.

Mike Angell, a seminarian of the church, told the parishioners that the consequences vary, whether it's making a hard decision at work or deciding to give more time to God.

Angell told the worshippers they don't face these consequences alone. "We are given each other as a source of boldness," he said.

The Obamas shook hands with those around them as the parishioners were told to show each other a sign of peace. The worshippers prayed for all people, including "Barack, our president, the leaders of Congress, the Supreme Court and all who are in authority."

The family took a quick ride to the services, but opted to stroll back together to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Obama, who also worshipped at the pale yellow church on Easter Sunday and on Inauguration Day, hasn't settled on a new permanent congregation for the first family since the Obamas came to Washington.

You can buy a Norman Rockwell portrait of this somewhere.
