"Obama skips church, heads for gym" from Politico, reports that President-Elect Barack Obama hasn't attended church services since the November 4th elections - and after leaving Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church in Chicago, hasn't attended much during the campaign.
Apparently his aide said that his retinue would disturb other parishoners - funny it doesn't bother those at the gym or at fundraisers.
Asked about the president-elect's decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.
"Because they have a great deal of respect for places of worship, they do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw," said the aide.
