@ricksanchezcnn I'm beyond frustrated with all the racism and hatred in the world. When will religion realize that tolerance isn't enough?

Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ is a progressive church on Western Avenue between DC and Maryland. Our ministers Rich Smith and Robert Maddox have already extended our hospitality to the Obama family as told in the November 8, 2008 New York Times:
"White House Memo":
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/us/politics/06memo.html?_r=1&sq=Robert%20Maddox&st=cse&oref=slogin&scp=1&pagewanted=print

"At the Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ, the Rev. Robert Maddox Jr., a onetime Carter adviser, has already sent a letter inviting the Obamas to join. "We"ve gotten word from the grapevine that they will not decide where they go to church until they get in and settled a bit," he said. "But they will obviously be looking for a place where their girls can be involved.""

We invite all families, not just the Obamas - churched, unchurched, single, straight, gay, - to join us for 10 AM Sunday Service. Ours is "the church of the open mind, a warm heart, the aspiring soul, and the social vision." Check us out at www.westmorelanducc.org !

I know which church he should not attend while he is in Chicago. Any church where the recently elevated Pastor borrows retirement 401K money from a faithful member of the congregation to buy his house and does not repay the loan after six years on an agreement that was supposed to be for nine months. That member loses both of his homes and his business to foreclosure as a result of not being paid back and that Pastor even attempts to extort profits from the members business with the support of his famous father. In the meantime the Pastor retains both of his homes. The member lives in financial ruin while the Pastor and his family are paid exorbitant salaries by the church and they live in the lap of luxury in the house that this member bought them that they never paid for. He should definitely not worship at a church with a Pastor like that whenever he is back in Chicago

I actually wanted to post a comment on Andy Borowitz's piece "Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy". His writing is witty...plain hilarious! Sarah Palin's "rebuke" is so similar to the Alaska Gov. rhetorics. This piece is pure genius! Andy's comment entry is disabled...shame!

You know, to a certain point I can accept the obsession with every minute detail of Obama's life - slide show after slide show of his wife, his friends, his children, asking what dog they're gonna get, what school they're going to, what clothes his wife wears - I don't like it, but I can accept it. But this sort of voyueristic obsession with their church actually -offends- me (and I'm not even a churchgoer.)

Spirtually is -wholly- a personal decision, one of the very last absolutely personal things in a person's life and doesn't have to be shared with, or accepted by anyone! MSM (and we, the public) need to get our noses out of the Obama's religious life, this is unacceptable!!

Not our business. We hired him to govern the country. It doesn't give us the right to know where he worships. That's his business. Not ours. Get over it and deal with it.
