Obama's New Pastor Disaster

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Thursday that he was "deeply disappointed" by a supporter's sermon at his church that mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a Chicago activist, also apologized for last Sunday's sermon at Obama's church, in which he said Clinton's eyes welled with tears before the New Hampshire primary because she felt "entitled" to the Democratic nomination and because "there's a black man stealing my show."

In video circulating on the Internet, Pfleger said the former first lady expected to win the nomination before Obama's sudden popularity.

"She just always thought that, 'This is mine. I'm Bill's wife. I'm white.' ... And then, out of nowhere, came 'Hey, I'm Barack Obama." And she said, 'Oh damn, where did you come from? I'm white. I'm entitled. There's a black man stealing my show,'" Pfleger said at Trinity United Church of Christ.

He then went on to parody Clinton, sobbing and wiping his face with a handkerchief.

"She wasn't the only one crying," he said. "There was a whole lot of white people crying."

What color is this nut? Am I missing something here? For some reason he's awfully angry at white people. Perhaps he's unhappy with himself as well....?

Birds of a feather
Hi Sean,
I think that all the surfacing comments and opinions were there all along and shared by Obama. Perhaps his wins have given his friends/supporters the mistaken idea that it is okay to bring out all these unpleasant views for the public to see - after all if the members of the public who are backing him, they must share his feelings right? Hopefully, wrong.
