This past Sunday, President Obama and his family took a trip across the street from the White House to St. John's Episcopal Church where, according to Ben Smith of The Politico, they attended a service, heard a sermon on a passage from the Gospel of Luke, and took Communion as a family. Smith also reported that Obama has generally chosen not to publically practice his faith “because of the possible disruptions his presence, and the increased security, would cause a congregation.”

Never ones to miss an opportunity to overstate their importance, right wing media figures bizarrely used the occasion to gloat and claim credit for Obama's church attendance.

Last Saturday, in an interview with right-wing media outlet NewsMax, Fox contributor and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, in response to a question about how Obama could quell suspicions that he's a secret Muslim, said "...it certainly would be helpful if he would...(lead) the example of attending church...(Obama) said one of his highest priorities when he got to Washington would be to find a church. I hope he's still mapping that out."

Once news broke of Obama's church attendance on Sunday, NewsMax triumphantly declared: “Obama Goes to Church After Newsmax, Huckabee Story.”

To go completely off the rails of the crazy train though, one only needs to turn your television dial to Fox News' Glenn Beck.

In a particularly amusing, though certainly not uncharacteristic fit of self-aggrandizement Beck suggested on his program today that Obama's church attendance may have been “motivated by the 8/28 rally,” though normally his spirituality is nurtured by his “fine stable of Marxist spiritual advisors.”

No word on what Obama's “Marxist spiritual advisers” were doing this past Sunday. Probably busy setting our streets on fire or submerging your children in the “filth of communism.”
