Evergreen Chapel: Obama Chooses Church At Camp David, Same As Bush
For the past five months, White House aides and friends of the Obamas have been quietly visiting local churches and vetting the sermons of prospective first ministers in a search for a new and uncontroversial church home. Obama has even sampled a few himself, attending services at 19th Street Baptist on the weekend before his inauguration and celebrating Easter at St. John's Episcopal Church.
Now, in an unexpected move, Obama has told White House aides that instead of joining a congregation in Washington, D.C., he will follow in George W. Bush's footsteps and make his primary place of worship Evergreen Chapel, the nondenominational church at Camp David.
Let me get this straight: Bush = right-wing/religious right whack job who wears his beliefs on his shoulder.
So Obama is going to a church that he had other people pick for himself. A church that is considered uncontroversial (that's right for 20 years he went to a church headed by Rev. Wright and never knew he was racist.)
So if the preacher at this church helped Bush in his life who's to say Obama won't be influenced the same? This might not be too good for the President. He might become some religious right nut job. Where's the change? :)
But the biggest point this illustrates is this: It seems he hasn't gone to church since he was inaugurated...5 months...I guess he's been too busy..
