    Obama hasn't been to Church since Nov. 4th

    Politico:
    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.

    Both President-elect George W. Bush and President-elect Bill Clinton managed to attend church in the weeks after they were elected.
    Doug Kmiec was quoted over the weekend as saying Obama has "far more in common with our great faith tradition than any political administration in recent memory."

    Well sadly, if our legacy is "skipping out on Church whenever possible" then ... yes, yes Obama does.
