We’ve all heard of the well-heeled matrons who can afford personal shoppers at Saks and Bloomies and the rest, but the Obamas have taken the idea of personal shopping to a whole new level: sending staff out to shop DC churches for a pew for the First Family.

So says the Boston Globe which, unfortunately, ID’s Obama as a former of Trinity United Methodist Church in Chicago; it was actually Trinity United Church of Christ.

From the story: “Joshua DuBois, who directs the White House office of faith-based initiatives and is coordinating Obama’s search for a church, said his office has been flooded with phone calls and invitations. DuBois said his primary objective is finding a church that matches Obama’s religious beliefs, has a youth ministry for his daughters, and is active in helping the needy.

“But most important, DuBois said, is finding a church that can handle the logistical strains and publicity that come with a presidential visit. “We want to make sure we’re respectful of that community,” he said.”
