Obama Attends Easter
For the fifth time since moving into the White House, President Obama attended a church service in Washington, spending part of Easter Sunday with his family and mother-in-law Marian Robinson at the Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The church where the First Family worshipped is in a Washington neighborhood about three miles from where, less than a week ago, four people were killed and five injured when four armed men in a minivan allegedly went on a shooting spree.
The Rev. Dr. Michael E. Bell Sr. said it ``was no accident that he (Obama) is here in light of what happened here last Tuesday,'' referring to the drive-by shootings.
The president's presence was ``helping our community heal,'' Bell said, according to the pool report.
A White House spokesman said "the church was selected because it has more than 50 programs that help the local community, including after-school tutorials and food aid programs." See Chick's REVEREND WONDERFUL.
