Doesn't Count!...He's not a Christian...He's a Muslim!...More Obama FRAUD!...

OBAMA GOES TO CHURCH!

------------------
Yesterday, Mike Huckabee was quoted saying that President Obama could quell rumors about his faith by "leading the example of attending worship," and mentioned that Obama once talked of finding a home church in Washington.

"I hope he's still mapping that out," he said.

Today, Obama crossed the street to St. John's for his first services since Easter, and whether a reaction to Huckabee or not, it's a reminder of a central inconvenience in his image that's occasionally surfaced.

As Halperin and Heilemann wrote in "Game Change," Obama had a very good answer to the Jeremiah Wright controversy that he couldn't use: He hadn't heard much of Wright's anti-Americanism because he doesn't go to church often.

But his Christian faith was a key part of his pitch and distinguished him from more secular Democrats, and the notion that he only went to church very occasionally -- which has been true since anyone started paying attention to him -- would have undercut that. He is, on the other hand, reluctant to ostentatiously fake a devotion to organized religion that he's never had before.

It's a difficult political situation because the contradiction isn't resolved, or really soluble.
