Obama: Life Without Church Community 'Difficult'

WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama, who last year quit his church over inflammatory remarks by its former pastor, said he finds life without a spiritual community "difficult," and said he and wife Michelle plan to step up their search for a place of worship.

Asked in an interview aired by ABC's "This Week" whether he missed being without a worship community over the past year , Obama was unequivocal.

"I do, and it's been a difficult time," he said.

"I've got a wonderful community of people who are praying for me every day, and they call me up," he said, "but it's not the same" as attending Sunday church services, he said.

Obama said that he had "not yet" decided upon a church in Washington, but that he and the first-lady-to-be were preparing to start their search in earnest.


Well, the Big Zero got his answer backwards....or he likes being without a church.

He misses hearing the drag queen Kate Smith sing "God Dam America" for reverend Wright.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
