Obama to give church talk, stump in Massachusetts

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will attend church services with his wife, Michelle, and speak to the congregation about helping the people of Haiti.

Later Sunday, the president flies to Massachusetts to campaign for Democratic candidate Martha Coakley who’s in a tight Senate race with Republican Scott Brown. Obama and other party leaders are concerned that Democrats could lose a key 60th vote in the Senate if Coakley doesn’t win the race to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. It takes 60 votes to stop a filibuster.
