From Associated Press. #1 on Yahoo News Right now.

How the hell is this news?

[GoneOffShore]

1. Because this is a country obsessed with "xtianity".

[Clio the Leo]

2. Because nothing else is happening....

.... yesterday, I got 11 Tweets from 10 diff reporters telling me what the First Family had for dinner.

(It was steak, roasted potatoes and green beans. Pie for dessert but no one was able to get the scoop on what KIND of pie.)

3. The Obamas going to church is NOT rare.

When The Obamas are at Camp David they attend mass at a chapel at near by.
It is 'only' rare that the media talks about Obama going.

5. It is Probably Rare for Him to Go to Church IN HAWAII Because He Doesn't Live There Anymore

But leave it to the Mighty Slime Machine…

7. When was the last time we had a president went to church weekly?

Carter, maybe?

[beyurslf]

10. Bush II and Clinton both went fairly consistently I believe.

BushI seldom went. Raygun almost never went.

[Bad Thoughts]

15. When threats against the President were lower? eom.

[Beacool]

17. The Bushes and the Clintons went regularly.

The Clintons went to a Methodist church, although Bill is a Baptist.

8. 'Not news,' but you posted it?

FYI, whatever POTUS does is news.

They're not much in the public view in Hawaii, so when they are, its 'news.'

9. he's trying to convince America he's not a Secret Muslim.

[LiberalFighter]

13. If he was a Muslim he be praying 6 times a day and everyone would know it.

[Raine]

11. It's news because it's "RARE" the title says

it all. :shrug:

[rainbow4321]

12. I kinda like the saying

"Being in a church no more makes someone a Christian than being in a garage makes someone a car"

They may have/attend a "service" or have their time with their God ANYwhere...

But I guess people obsessed with he and his family not being filmed or photographed weekly entering/leaving a church won't/don't get that.

[Kdillard]

14. Ugh I see the press is in rare form with the shocking news that the President attended church

services. When did it become custom for the press to monitor the church habits of the President?

[otohara]

16. Horribly Misinforming and Snarky

FU AP

18. New Picture here

[grasswire]

19. I'd love to know what they are singing n/t
