In case the press didn’t break the oh-so-exciting news fast enough, there was a flyer letting everyone know that President Obama would be attending church today. Yes, really. A flyer.
There was a flyer advertising the Obamas' appearance at @MetropolitanAME today ==> http://t.co/uXnuRX4G

Twice! He went to this church twice. No wonder all the squeeing. Look, guys! He’s totally churchy and stuff.
Pres Obama has worshipped at Metropolitan AME Church once before in 2011 on the occasion of the Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday.
