Obama has favored a more private faith since he took office in January 2009, attending formal church services just a handful of times, including Easter of this year.His worship practices are just like W's!! (except that actions speak louder than words). And while I, too, use my Blackberry for daily devotions (www.youversion.com is the bomb), I think Obama seems uncomfortable with the idea that his devotions might possibly exclude "quotes from other faiths."
Like his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama has said he prefers worshiping at the chapel at Camp David. But the president rarely goes to the presidential retreat, and instead spends Sundays at the White House. Weekend activities often include basketball or golf.
Still, the president has said his Christian faith is part of his daily life. Last year, Obama told ABC's Terry Moran on 'Nightline' that he relied on his BlackBerry as one tool to keep the faith.
"My faith and neighborhood initiatives director, Joshua DuBois, he has a devotional that he sends to me on my BlackBerry every day," Obama said. "That's how I start my morning. You know, he's got a passage, scripture, in some cases, quotes from other faiths to reflect on."
Gee MSM, can you blame people for being a little confused or even cynical?
