is this really a news story?

Oh No!

Gasp!

President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate
predecessors.

On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.

And if you think it's important for a President-elect to make a public show of attending church, just remember that:

On his first day as president-elect, following weeks of Florida recounts and court hearings, Bush went to church with his wife, Laura...During the service, the Rev. Mark Craig, senior pastor at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, told Bush, "You have been chosen by God to lead the people."

'Nuff said.
