1. Busted. The dude with the green thingy. That's like,

totally mosque-y.

- - -

edited for spelling error on 'dude.' I'd put 'dud.'

Dud. Dude. Whatever.

[Schema Thing]

2. mosque-y like a motherfucker

[dave29]

9. doesn't get more mosque-y than that. n/t

[CitizenLeft]

52. thanks for the laugh, you guys...!

:rofl:

Bad day, needed it!

[panader0]

3. Thanks for the photos

The Obamas have class.

[treestar]

4. That little bell at the top is a bit oniony shaped

Why was Dubya talking to that Muslin?

[Jeneral2885]

44. was that a deliberate misspelling?

was that a deliberate misspelling?

[Better Today]

5. And it shouldn't matter one whit. But hey, all the pressure to prove he's a christian

and again he caves. Fox news makes a big deal about how he hasn't signed up to a new church since leaving Rev Wright, and so now he's just got to lower himself to giving them what they want.

Religion, or the lack thereof, isn't supposed to matter here particularly when it comes to government. Very sad.

[impik]

7. Yep, i find it very sad too

He can't just go to church now - it's all related to that crap. I almost wish h didn't go, but i know he's confident enough to do what he feels and not what the stupid wants.

[kestrel91316]

18. Well, last I heard, we still had FREEDOM OF RELIGION in the US, and

the president isn't denied that freedom.

Go piss in somebody else's Wheaties.

[Better Today]

21. The timing of his return to a church belies your naive perspective.

[kestrel91316]

22. He can go to church any time he damned well pleases AFAIAC.

As long as he doesn't try to tell OTHERS how to conduct their religious lives (like you yourself are doing).........

[polmaven]

26. Caved to what?

It isn't the first time he has been to church in DC. He just hasn't settled on which church to at which he will be a regular attnedee. He hasn't "caved" to anything.

[MineralMan]

27. What? Are you saying that the President attending church means

he's caving. Caving into what? The man can go to church with his family any damned time he chooses. To suggest otherwise is presumptuous in the extreme. How odd that you would do so.

[liberalla]

6. Wow - I'm surprised they went to an Episcopal church,

and they all went up and took communion.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2010/09/for_fifth_time_obama_attends.html

That surprises me. I was raised in the Episcopal church and had to attend catechism classes before I was allowed to take communion. I haven't been to church in years, but I'm surprised that anyone can take communion. Has that changed?

[nmbluesky]

8. What an idiot, Bob Miller

He comment this website

By Bob Miller on January 18, 2010 1:11 PM
With all due respect to MLK, this was another photo op by the White House.
Four times in a year to visit any church, And this was the weekend that was reserved to show respect for MLK.
Yes, he showed his respect BUT not to GOD.
Sort of reminds one of the Good Church Goers, they go at Easter and Christmas.
I wonder if he has a prayer rug any place in the White House??

He is fucking teabagger idiot.. I wonder Bob Miller is Joe miller's brother?????

[PopSixSquish]

11. My Father was an Episcopal Priest

and both my brother and I attended confirmation classes before being able to receive communion. However, most dioceses allow for any baptized person to receive communion in an Episcopal church...

[liberalla]

42. Thank you for the info! That's pretty cool.

Although I'm fairly anti-organized religion these days, I have noticed that The Episcopal church is pretty liberal. Allowing women into the priesthood, as well as openly gay priests.
:thumbsup:

[Empowerer]

15. The Episcopal Church allows persons baptized in another church to take communion

[kestrel91316]

20. And they DON'T stand there and ask you, either. It's sort of the honor system.

[kestrel91316]

19. I was raised Presbyterian and baptised as a tot. When I went to an

Episcopal Easter service a couple of years ago, I specifically asked if I was allowed go up to take communion or not and they said absolutely yes. Anybody can. Just like when the Presbyterians pass the little cups and wafers down the pews.

Catholics are hung up on legalisms like you are talking about. Episcopals not so much, lol.

[liberalla]

43. Thank you so much for adding your experience here.

I like that it's relaxed like that now. Very different from my childhood, though.

[MineralMan]

28. How is that your business? Truly. If it's OK with the minister of

that church, why is it not OK with you? In most Episcopal churches, there is no bar to a Christian taking communion, whether that Christian is a member of that church or not.

[liberalla]

40. It was written about at the Sun-Times link and I commented on it.

I didn't say it wasn't OK with me.

I said it surprised me. I explained why it surprised me.
I asked if the policy (that I was raised with) had changed.

And thanks to the nice folks replying to me (above your reply) I now know that it has changed.

[Ian David]

10. But here's Bush in a real mosque..

[chrisa]

46. The lady on the left is like "WTF?"

[Ian David]

47. The lady on the left is the "controversial" Muslim who was at Obama's inauguration. n/t

[PopSixSquish]

12. LOL at Sasha's Expression in Picture 2

Not the first time I've seen her give a photographer the "really?" look. She's adorable...

[JI7]

38. hahaha, i noticed that one also , she may be young but looks like

she gets the media and what they are all about.

[Joe Bacon]

13. Remember that Reagan NEVER went to church!

Reagan NEVER went to church. Not once on a Sunday when he was in the White House, but that was OK with our Whore Press.

Bill Clinton went to church every Sunday and the Whore Press tore him apart for being "immoral" every chance they could.

W went to church when he felt like it (Near election time), and once again the Whore Press slobbered all over him.

And the same Press Whores still play up the "Obama is a Muslim" bullshit.

[nmbluesky]

33. oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know He is a Muslim

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I'm really bother by media always nosy about Obama's religion. because of his last name and his father..
frankly I don't care all president's religion.

[COLGATE4]

14. Yeah but we KNOW he's really a Muslin (snark)

[kestrel91316]

16. And Michelle and Malia are going without their hijab, and those TOO-SHORT

dresses!!!!!!

Fatwa time, folks! Can't let true muslins behave like this!!

[lunatica]

17. I love it when I get to see photos of the girls too!

Malia is only 11 years old isn't she? She's so tall and still growing?!

If Michelle were wearing flats she would be only slightly taller than Malia. Sasha is tall for her age too.

[FrenchieCat]

24. And how refreshing to see Malia in one of Michelle's sweaters!

So conservation is being respected here as well! :fistbump:

[rufus dog]

23. Not to go all O"Reilly

But check out the body language of the Pastor in the last picture. Basically looks like - I am so done with you, please leave.

[MH1]

29. having been raised Episcopalian, I'm sure Father Leon is much more comfortable with the Obamas.

jmho I guess. :)

[Phx_Dem]

25. Malia is getting all growed up. n/t

[lunatica]

31. She may look older but she's only 11 years old

I do hope we get to see her grow up for the next 6 years in the White House!

[nemo137]

41. 11? She's almost as tall as her mother!

[woo me with science]

51. She's 12. nt

[Dawgs]

48. Hopefully she STOPS growing.

She's almost as tall as the President and she's only 11. He's over 6 feet tall.

I've seen too many girls that are not comfortable being taller than most men. Hopefully she will be fine with it.

[lunatica]

50. I think she'll be fine. Being taller than normal doesn't seem to affect her mother

I hope she doesn't grow much taller though. Her parents already tower over most people.

my nephew grew to 6 feet tall when he was 12 and people thought he was five years older than he was. It created some very uncomfortable times for him, especially with older teen girls who were attracted to him. He was very good looking and he looked like he was 17. A 12 year old boy in what looked like a 17 year old body is simply not prepared for the older teen girl who is attracted to him.

[Enthusiast]

30. I'm sure it was a mosque in his heart.

:hide: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[elleng]

32. MOST of the Presidents have attended that church; its across a small park from the WH.

and good weather here, too, today. Looks like they walked over.

[Cha]

34. Thanks for the pics bluesky.

[LAGC]

35. Is that supposed to be heartening?

That a sitting President has to show off by attending church just to give him "street cred" amongst believers?

Gimme a break.

[GSLevel9]

36. sad thing is...

I almost feel like they were FORCED to go... pressured by the whack-job's rumor mill.

[JI7]

37. Malia seems to get taller everytime i see her ,she is almost her mother's height

and she isn't even a teen yet.

but she isn't the only one. i have seen many girls who i assumed were in their teens because they were tall but they weren't. one of my cousins is the same. it could just be that i am not that tall so i assume anyone who is my height or taller would at least be in their teens.

[Jeneral2885]

45. some reports

some reports say she is her mother's height--others say it's her shoes.

[grasswire]

39. Michelle's dress is really pretty....

...but I wonder if it is quite warm in Washington today -- the dress looks like a summer dress.

That church is well known to me. When I was living in Washington and enmeshed in icky divorce stuff I used to go sit inside during the day and think about things.

[activa8tr]

49. Don't all secret Kenyan anti-colonialist Muslims go to that church?

I heard it on Fox News, from that highly moral guy, Mr. Gingrich.
