Obama Easter Celebration

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama officially opened the annual Easter Egg Roll Monday, calling it "one of the greatest White House traditions."

Yesterday, the first family celebrated the resurrection of Christ at St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square where the president along with his wife and two daughters received Communion. There the Rev. Luis Leon preached on how Easter is a matter of faith not of logical fact. "I can't explain Easter to anyone. It just can't be done. It's like a professor trying to explain one of e.e. cummings' poems," he said.

The Obamas have only gone to church twice since arriving in Washington in January. You know how difficult church shopping can be when you've moved.

You ought to send him that church-shopping pamplet you wrote so many years ago. Might be the best advice he'll receive his entire tenure.

Unbelievable quote by someone claiming to be a CHRISTian PASTOR since the story of Easter is Christian Theology 101.

Liberal theologians are embarrassed by two things:
1)the story is graphic &
2)there is a miraculous resurrection.

This is reminiscent of the "pay-grade" comment Obama made during the campaign...safe to say that concerning absolute truth claims, the president and the pastor are kindred spirits.
