It seems Chicago's Trinity United Church just won't leave Barack Obama out of it's controversial headline making ways, so the Illinois senator is leaving it.
News of Obama resigning friom the church was confirmed by his spokesman Ben LaBolt. At press time, no other details are available.
We all know about the huge firestorm that was centered around remarks by the church's now ex-pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Wright said the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were the "chickens coming home to roost" on the U.S. for its foreign policy. He also uttered the now-infamous words "God damn America."
Obama publicly disagreed with the sentiments in a carefully crafted speech about race, in which he said he could no more disown Wright than one could disown a family member.
The newest controversy involving the church flared up this past week when video of the Rev Michael Pfledger's sermon from last weekend appeared on the Internet.
To put it mildly, Pfleger, a Roman Catholic priest, doesn't exactly see eye to eye with his superiors in the Chicago archdiocese as far as his political activisim is concerned.
In his appearance at Unity, Pfleger seemed to go out of his way to mock Sen. Hillary Clinton. He also suggested the former first lady is a white elitist who felt entitled to the Democratic nomination.
