Washington D.C. churches have been attempting to win over President Obama and his family. Churches of all colors and sizes have been pleading their cases to the first family. Obama says that he plans on auditioning different churches before he decides on his spiritual home.
Both predominately white churches and predominately black churches want Obama in attendance on Sundays. Obama's aids say that he isn't limiting his choices to the largest, most popular churches, instead opening his options up to all local churches.
Obama will pick his church carefully because of the negative attention he received for comments made by his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
