The White House has given us a glimpse into the private worship of the President. “He is a Christian and prays daily.” I wonder, as Shakespeare had it, whether he “protesteth too much.” I hope not. A New York Times pundit writes Obama should go ahead and attend the church near the White House once to quiet people’s doubts he is Christian. But “Simply going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in the garage makes you an automobile.”
From what we can tell of Obama’s long-time attendance at the now infamous mega-church in Chicago, it supplied a lot more connections with community organizers and America-bashers than with God. His private worship is his own business. It’s nice to know he prays. But use of the fact as a PR announcement by the press secretary doesn’t go down well.

Isn't there something in the Christian belief system about right hands knowing what left hands are doing?
