More pastoral problems for Barack Obama
Under fire from, well, anyone with the IQ of their toilet bowl, Barack Obama has announced that he will resign from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The straw that broke the camel’s back, it seems, was Fr. Michael Pfleger (I’d like to know who ordained him, and why the Church keeps him around), who was a guest preacher at Obama’s now ex-church a couple of weeks ago. Pfleger sounded not unlike the white Jeremiah Wright with all his politicking (not to mention cursing) from the pulpit:
Obama has now withdrawn his membership from Trinity. However, the damage has been done. The revelations about this church where Obama blithely sat and learned these last two decades have shown Obama to be not the messianic figure everyone thought he was. He is now tainted as just another corrupt politician. The resignation from Trinity is not going to help. If anything, it’s going to look like a political move driven by ideology more than idealism. Which it is.

AMEN!! Will th REAL Obama PLEASE STAND UP??
I am an RN working in Psychiatry for over 20 yrs, and have never met a better CON ARTIST in my life!!
I started out loving him, then hating him, then loving him again….and now completely mistrusting him! (I doubt if his wife even knows “the real Barack”.)
I thinl that Rev.Wright was even conned by him, thus becomming SO angry!!
Anyway, it looks like Obama’s WHOLE GAMEPLAN (over the past 20 yrs), is working, and he has a good chance of becomming our MESSIAH…..
I hope to God that “the other shoe drops”, and we find out exactly WHO HE IS!!!!!!
Chris,
I don’t think Obama has as good a chance as you say–if you look at the demographics of his voters, he gets rich white liberals, blacks, and young people. The last two of those groups are the lowest-performing section of our electorate. If he is only getting rich white liberals, he can’t win. They don’t make up even close to 50% of the people (despite what they may think…).
If Obama’s the nominee, I predict McCain wins in a landslide. Which he has no business doing. If it’s Hillary, though, McCain will have a tough general election campaign ahead of him.

Hey, maybe you’re right…….even though I didn’t like Hillary in the first place, I really admire the way she keeps going, AND I thought that the recent TIRADE at “the Church” was despicable…and the way the congregation jumped up and down and applauded….can’t tell me that type of rhethoric hasn’t been going on all along! (EVEN while the innocent Barack was in attendance)!
We’ll see how Hillary does tomorrow…if she does take it to the convention, I bet by then the Delegates will switch..
