Wrong Evergreen?Known magazine TIME reported earlier in the day that Barack Obama, who hasn’t been to church since quitting Jeremiah Wright’s mosque last year, has chosen as “his primary place of worship” the “Evergreen Chapel, the nondenominational church at Camp David,” where other congregants include local forest creatures such as rabbits and donkeys. George W. Bush also “chose to worship” there, at the president’s secret Maryland lair, because if there are no cameras then you don’t actually have to go. But the most interesting thing about this TIME report is that it is WRONG and Barack Obama still hates Mister Jesus.

Contrary to published reports, President Obama and the First Family have not decided to make Evergreen Chapel at Camp David their primary place of worship in the Washington area.

“The President and First Family continue to look for a church home. They have enjoyed worshipping at Camp David and several other congregations over the months, and will choose a church at the time that is best for their family,” Deputy White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki said in a statement.

Time.com had posted a lengthy story saying that, in an unexpected move, President Obama had told aides he had decided to make the non-denominational chapel at Camp David the family’s primary church home. Evergreen Chapel was dedicated during the presidency of George H.W. Bush and serves the military personnel and staff stationed at the highly secure Camp David.

Bad move, “Jennifer Psaki,” of whom we have never heard, and who will be googled shortly, for hotness, bad move. Should’ve just said, “Uh yeah sure they’re praying or whatever at George Bush’s private Jesus Shed in the Catoctins, to Jesus, and his father, God.” Story, over.

WTF is a “primary church home”?

Please post the results of the “Jennifer Psaki” hotness investigation.

Obama says he’s a mop, but everyone knows that he’s secretly a bucket. Why won’t he come just clean about this?

humble pinko June 29, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Thus began the presidential tradition of only going to Camp David on Christmas and Easter.

From my purely objective standpoint, I’d give her a six. 7.5 if you have a librarian fetish.

When Billy Sunday famously said “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile,” he probably didn’t imagine the cognitive dissonance that might result from churches that look like auto parts stores.

Methinks there might be a dissenting view on the mop/bukkit escapades.

The only way I’ve discovered Joy at 10:30 on a Sunday morning is if I started on Saturday night and Joy hadn’t left yet.

[re=350609]cal[/re]: It’s where you tithe, technically speaking. God has very strict and arcane accounting rules.

So hard to find a church in that area that doesn’t make black people sit in the back pews.

Negatory on the hotness.

Maybe it’s just ‘Campaign Bloat’ that hadn’t subsided at the time of these pics. Lookin’ mighty pale. (And it’s not just because she’s sitting next to Obama.)

Barry should start his own church/outdoor retreat. (Outdoor because smoking ban.)

[re=350641]Tommmcatt[/re]: Wow you are agressively applying the DC Curve. She’s a 4.5 and that’s assuming she has no peg leg. She might.

And “googled shortly, for hotness” should be part of Google’s registered trademark. well said.

Good, he needs to be working for America on Sunday instead of muttering into his hands and begging some invisible being to clean up the mess left by the last moron President who thought an invisible being talked to him.

[re=350641]Tommmcatt[/re]: I at first gave her a 5.0, but I’ve had a couple of beers and now she’s a 6.

bitchincamaro June 29, 2009 at 5:52 pm

What self-respecting president would drag his and his family’s ass to a church what looks like it used to be the dry cleaners in the strip mall?

On the hotness issue: certainly doable by ‘camaro after 6 shots and a beer, providing I pass out after the beer.

Next.

He’s looking for one with Grecian columns, sic.

And anyway, why does the Messiah have to go to church? I thought he was the church. No pleasing some people.

Did I mention that Billy May’s ‘untimely’ death proves there’s a God after all, so watch out with how annoying you make yourself?

Thanks for putting “Jennifer Psaki” in quotes already. It makes it that much easier to cut and paste google her.

Heh heh. “Known magazine” made me giggle.

Mike Steele June 29, 2009 at 7:09 pm

You guys are all being too hard on her. What’s wrong with her being “a little pale”. Alabaster skin is a better description. But then, few people appreciate white like I do.

Plus, in the Frosted Flakes pic, she has at least one extremely nice titty. Real, slightly pendulous. I’d be rammin’ and jammin’ that in a D.C. minute.

P Drizzle June 29, 2009 at 7:15 pm

[re=350822]Mike Steele[/re]: Seriously. She’s a real ginger who’s not afraid to show a little cleave, which earns her at least 1 bonus point.

Also. Boys are too mean.

smellyal8r June 29, 2009 at 8:05 pm

Glad Time.com has so much time on its hands, what with the death of Michael Jackson, the Honduran junta and the Iranian protests (along Gay Pride…can I get a “what what’) to continue to worry this story to death.

[re=350822]Mike Steele[/re]: [re=350828]P Drizzle[/re]: I know, what’s the deal? She also seems pretty competent, at least compared to most Democratic spokespeople. These jerks here at Wonkette are just a bunch of queers, I guess.

Perhaps Obama is organizing the MOPS the same way Mickey Mouse organized the water-carrying brooms.

[re=350622]Jim Newell[/re]: I’m not a guy, but she seems to be a fan of showing off her cleavage, which I would think would count for something for all of you.
