This is a disgrace! Obama wants to tie McCain to Bush, well some of us tie Obama to Wright, and this new pastor. The link is Obama's church, a church Obama defends and is a member of.

Wake up people. Do you really want a unknow junior senator who has ties to all these hateful people.

Hillary or McCain

If this guy was a stand up comedian or at some other church, this wouldn't even make the news. I actually thought it was funny and contained some accuracy as to how HRC might be viewing Obama's candidacy.

California is gay country, we will marry you boys and boys, girls and girls, and then you can spend ypur honeymoon here, we need all the proffessionals who make 75,000 plus a year, to boost our economy!! gay marriage is the best economy fixer for California!! who need broke deadbeats. straight people are pathetic. they can even pay their morgage. come on gays and lesbians move to California!!!
welcome to the hotel California

Sometimes it seems as though it's the people who are supposed to be supporting Obama continue to do the most damage!

I have to really think that this church and it's so called spiritual leaders do not want Obama as President. That way, they can continue their rants how AA are surpressed and spew bigotry. Can't do that if a person with African decent holds the highest ranking position in this Country. Really makes me wonder. I don't think Obama or Michelle are poisoned by these so-called Ministers/Reverends/Priests, however, I do think that it is in the Obama's family best interest if they 'leave' this church and worship elsewhere.

Making fun of people is not exactly the way to get them to back you up. Unless you don't want or need their support.
Senator Obama supporters, of which I'm strongly one, let's not add fuel to the fire.
Yes, she teared up and in conjunction with what seemed like a gang up by Edwards and Obama, Senator Clinton won New Hampshire.
So, while politics is a contact sport, let's not further alienate people who already have bruised feelings for feeling like their aonited one was somehow abused or done wrong.

Clinton supporters, the facts are:
more money, superior name recognition, more infrastructure to begin with, and more backing by the party (started off with a HUGE lead among Superdelegates) and she pulled and Al Gore. That is, she came from ahead to get far enough behind that it seems inevitable that she'll lose.

My opinion, which we're all entiteld to have one (as long as it's reasonably logical) is this:
Sen. Clinton's future political fate is tied to Obama whether anyone, include President Clitnon and Sen. Clinton, want to admit it or not.
IF Senator McCain wins in Nov., he'll be able to dictate terms on a wide range of things also along with veto power.
And while you may say we'll let him win and she'll get it in 2012, well I say not so fast my friend. MANY Dems will lok back at this election cycel and realize that (currently) more than 75% of the people in this country disapporve of President Bush and want a change. And at the same time, more than 60% view, and have viewed for some time now, like 8-10 months or longer, that this country is on the wrong track.
So, with that background, someone is going to ask, how did McCain win when he was championing many of the same policies that Bush has with such poor ratings?
They will look and see how Sen Clinton had virtually no chance to get the nomination, but continued to attack Sen Obama and also not help to unify the party. And for that,
1) 2 – 3 SC judges appointed by McCain (say goodbye to woman's rights, specifically reproductive rights)
2) continued war(s) in middle east (say hello to more soldiers coming home maimed or dead for uneccessary war(s)
3) Economy still bad. I guess $4+/gallon gas wasn't enough for some of us, we should spending $5 or 6. Oh, and more jobs going overseas never to come back.

Clinton supports, I'm simply saying that it ain't just the next 4 yrs. Choosing wrong in Nov between McCain and Obama will have consequences for the next 20-30 years. As one who gave the current admin every chance to be right, we need complete CHANGE.

He apologize, Obama rebuked it. He wasn't there; this is nothing like Wright. McCain dropped Hagee and the media took his word. It now has to work both ways; let's get back to the issues.

WOW! I do not blame Obama for this so-call priest remarks, but I suggest that Mr. Obama find himself another congregation to worship with, the remarks were so inappropriate and the so-call ministers continue to use the pulpit as a place to divide our nation. What is wrong with these people. Go Obama, but drop Trinity United Church of Christ.

...She can now play a victim once more...........These comments are no more outrageous than some of the comments Hillary and her crew have made about Barack Obama.........

Hillary brings it on herself...

Can't wait for June 4th... That will be a day of liberation.. liberation from Hillary...... the elitist.......

OK, and this should be the end of this. Obama DID NOT make these statements so people need to quit blaming him for EVERYTHING someone else says unlike in regards to Hillary, the controversial statements come from HER OWN MOUTH.

SHE IS ENTITLED TO IT!!!!!! THEN BARACK OSAMA STOLE THE NOMINATION FROM HER BY NOT COUNTING MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA JUST BECAUSE SHE BEAT HIM SO BADLY IN MICHIGAN!!!!! GO CRY SOME MORE NOBAMA!!!!

I'm glad the Preist came out and apologized to Hiliary for his far-fetched sermon. What I find interesting is that it seems the right-wing are trying to find anything to slow down Obama.
Its almost to the point where they are so deseperate that it's sad.
I don't think Obama should have apologize for every little thing someone says about Hiliary.

Fox News has said far worst things about Obama and get away with it all the time. It's ashame.

If the voters and super delegates have a brain that functions, Obama should be not only in deep trouble in his campaign, but impeached as a Senator. He is obviously connected to a lot of unsavory people.

This also brings up the role the church plays in our politics. They want us to stay out of their business, they should stay out of politics. The Catholic church should lose it's tax exempt status.

It is unfortunate for the American public that the only true Independents on CNN are Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty. Cafferty's book should be required reading for voters.

This priest meant what he said, and apologizing is just a political stunt so that this won't hurt Obama. An I'm sorry isn't going to cut it.
Hillary '08/

Wake up folks. This is what is going to continue to happen with Obummer around.

Good job Obama for quickly responding to that. It shows your credibility, and ponder doubts on some of these Priests, who swieve away from Christian issues they should be addressing in church and mocking other people, Didn't this Rev. Pfleger of a priest read in the bible, (Psalms 1)that " Blessed is the Man, who does not mock".

So these are all guys that Obama got close with – stayed in the church for 20 years and "hob nobs" with. That's what they say. He was also close with this latest nut – not as close as Wright but friends. Doesn't this tell you all something. He must share some of these views and we can't afford to put someone like this in our White House.

BHO is well connected to a bunch of racists and terrorists. Still, the loony left tries to convince us that this is not worth consideration. Fooey! There is no way i will vote for this guy.

If I were Hillary I would not accept Pastor Pfleger apologies unless all his followers in that Chruch who were clapping and laughing also do...

Hillary brought this ridiculing on herself. She is the candidate who is quick to reinforce stereotypes and the perception that she is the "white" candidate because of her wins in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennslyvania.

If you look at the McCain and Obama campaigns up to this point, neither one has used the issue of race and gender to divide the electorate to the degree that Hillary's campaign has.

I saw the YOUTUBE video and of course it's a 3 minute breakdown of a 20 minute sermon. But I did find it humorous and fairly accurate.

Like i said, the senator was not at church, he apologized and the priest apologized. can we move on, please without the hysterics?

He was wrong for saying it especially when they're all this attn still on the church but he was right!!
OBAMA 08!!

Say it, then apologize or clarify or denounce.

Too little too late – it's already been said.

That guy isn't "deeply sorry" for what he said – he's sorry he got recorded and plastered all over the world.

SUPERDELEGATES – DEFLATE THE HOT AIR BALLOON. END THE HATE.

ENDORSE HILLARY CLINTON AND GET OUR COUNTRY BACK.

The disrespect and sexist comments Hillary Clinton has received from Obama supporters and the media is mind blowing! And this is from the Democratic Party and the Liberal media. The groups who supposedly welcomes everyone and treats everyone equally. The group that champions the causes of the poor. Yet, it appears that is only true if you are black, left-wing, young, or college-educated. To Hell with everyone else.

This is a sad day and I am so disillusioned by the Democratic Party that I will not simply vote Democratic any longer. I will not vote for Obama in November because as the so-called new age, change agent of the Democratic party he is not very good in the job. He is, it is turning out a hard-core typical politician with a racist twist to him based on the people who have been his friends for all of these years.

I am sick and tired of Obama forgetting the views, prejudices, and attitudes of his friendsof 20 years. Once again, Obama plays the gender card and sexism rears it's ugly head. He is such an adapt politician - not at all a man of change - that he would have been great at Tamany Hall (I doubt his young endorsers know enough about history to even get this reference.) We heard how he manipuated his way through Chicago politics, we know he's taken favors from Rezko, we see him playing the race card to his advantage so that no one dares criticize him for fear of being called a racist. He is not the candidate of change - he is the cadidate of deception and insensitivity. He's like the Piped Piper leading the children off, and his campaign is out of a fairy tale with the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Can we all stop being subjective for a minute and be honest?

What in what the Priest said is incorrect? Sen Clinton and Pres Clinton have expressed their entitlement to the White House and still continue to do so.

As a matter of fact, Sen McCain is taking on the same tone – the tone of "who is the guy and who the heck does this guy think he is".

We need to let them know that this is the U.S.A, the land of opportunity for ALL, not a select few.

Please take this ridiculous story down. No one cares about some rogue pastor imitating a presidential candidate.

I get tired of people who feel they can say anything, and then later on, think they can apologize for it and all be forgiven. It has become a real problem as of late for all sides. It makes me feel that the only reason why these people apologize is because they are caught, not because they are actually sorry for the comments they made. Again, it happens on both sides of the political spectrum and everywhere in between.

You know this just shows how disgusting people can be and how corrupt the Catholic church can be as well. And OF COURSE Obama is tied to all of it - Reverend Wright, his hate-mongering church, this priest. Barack can apologize ALL HE WANTS. The bottom line is he frequently finds himself tied to these people and places because he makes very POOR decisions, all the way around. He is NOT his own man, nor is he a man carrying the best interests of this country. I'm sorry Dems. You shot yourselves in the foot again, choosing this candidate over Clinton.

Priests are idiots to begin with. Especially ones found at the Trinity Church. With that said, I did find that Clintion bit quite humorous.

Obama08

Obama is full of it. His church reaks of racism. I'll vote for anyone but Obama.

Slow news day? Oh yes, CNN the Clinton News Network

Can we stop being subjective for a minute? What in what the Priest said is incorrect? Sen Clinton and Pres Clinton have expresses their entitlement to the White House and still continue to do so.

As a matter of fact, Sen McCain is taking on the same tone – the tone of "who is the guy and who the heck does this guy think he is".

We need to let them know that this is the U.S.A, the land of opportunity for ALL, not a select few.

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THIS GUY IS FUNNY. AND BEING WHITE HE KNOWS WHAT SLICK HILLIE WAS THINKING. BUT I DONT THINK THAT WE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA JUST BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE IN HIS CHURCH. IN THAT CASE WE WOULD HAVE TO ATTIBUTE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT HIS GRAMPS WAS A WWII VET. LOOK, IF YOU DONT LIKE HIS POLITICS DONT VOTE FOR HIM, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING BLACK, VOTE FOR HIS WHITE SIDE. AFTER ALL, HE IS 50% WHITE.

In one corner, the Republican Religious Right. In the other corner, the dirty little secret of the Democratic Party, Rev. Wright, Pfleger, and the other racist men of the cloth. While one cannot blame Obama for everything a preacher says in Obama's church, we see a pattern developing, and there are other, "less political" churches in Chicago. The hatemongering that comes from these Democratic preachers is amazing, and is starting to drown out Obama's message of moving forward out of the past. The question that we'll see answered as we approach the general election is whether the preachers of hate and divisiveness will drag Obama into a backward looking defensive mode, or whether the hatemongers will allow Obama to campaign on a message of hope and moving forward.

I hate to say it but the Priest told the truth as he and many others saw it. Mrs. Clinton thought she had the Presidency in the bag, this is why her campaign ran so poorly, she never thought Obama would out wit, out play, or out last her. She feels a sense of entitlement, and as long as she keeps beating a dead horse everyone will see that Father Pfleger was correct. If she does steal this nomination her legacy will be as disgraceful as her Husband's.

this guy may be an idiot. However, just because he spoke in Obama's church does not make him his "pastor". You folks are mis using the word.
Stop trying to make mountains.

See the whole sermon. Take a look at what Father Pfleger has done for Chicago. This was probably not the right place to say what he said and he appologized but it is what an awful lot of people are thinking!
The news media is at fault here for even airing anything like this. After McClennon book and what the news media should have been confronting Washington with, don't you think its time we payed attention to more important things like getting the troops out of Iraq–NOW! Building bridges, roads and bringing back jobs to America. This is snippy and tabloid reporting!!! I'm getting a little sick of it!!

Don't necessarily agree with the white person piece, but the rest is true. She did feel entitled and has trotted her husband out there as a 2 for 1 special.

Yea- I'm an Obama supporter and he totally should NOT have said that....what's wrong with people? I mean, I know they want Barack to succeed...so I just don't get why they say these things publicly. I mean, a lot of people may agree with what he said (myself included) but dang man....at least wait until the guy is elected! Haven't they learned from the Wright episodes that this stuff hurts...does not help him in any way!?

Also- I have to say I'm not a big fan of the "white person" "black person" speak....aren't we all Americans? Perhaps that is too progressive in thinking...i can hope though right?

Now-Clinton supporters need to get on board and elect a Democrat...otherwise it's 4-8 more years of Bush policies!!!!

Obama 08

Isn't this all getting a bit silly? It's official, we now have a tabloid media. It would have been nice if they had spent this much time and effort on activities leading up to the war.

He's probably right too – I think it was a big shock to Mrs. Clinton to have an opponent dare to oppose her!

That said, you can certainly see the kind of idiots that support Obama....imagine his cabinet?

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT FOR QUEEN HILLARY .

Obama has condemned this recent action what else do you want him to do. Remember freedom of speech exists that is why Obama cannot be held accountable for what anybody anywhere says except for his campaign team.

However, nobody can honestly hope she will not get a bashing going by what has transpired in this primary.

This was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. People need to chill out. Also, the fact that Hillary is still in this race gives some validity to what this man says. If the tables were turned, we all know Obama would have been out a long time ago!

Drop out Hillary and save our party if it's not too late already.

irrelevant

I dont see how this is news... People say crazy stuff all the time, apparently Obama is responisble for every pastor in the worlds comment.s

It is good that he has apologised to her, but the fact remains unchanged. That was exactly what she thought. Thanks to GOD that she is loosing and she will loose come June 3.

The real problem with this video is not the mocking of Hillary Clinton – it is the rest of the speech where this priest spews hatred for all white people and the parishoners stand up and cheer. This is the church that Senator Obama says is "christian" which he claims led him to Jesus. These are the same people Sen. Obama reached out to in order to launch his political career. It is time for him to withdraw from this election before we have to endure any more of this. By staying in this race he is dividing the country in ways never imagined. He is bringing shame to all the people of this country, and most importantly to the majority of African-Americans who are honest, hard-working, loving people.

Pfleger is a truly digusting so called Rev. I would like to see any white Rev. say this about Obama. Why the whole black community would come down around that Rev. or Preacher. Pfleger and Wright does not preach the words of love in church but the words of hate of the white people. This probably won't get posted but WAKE UP AMERICA. This is a truly sad campaign when Obama can keep apologizing and pretend he knows nothing of Wright and Pfleger's beliefs. Too many bones in Obama's closet. VOTE HILLARY '08 OR MCCAIN '08

Well, she is gonna use more of her crockodile tears this saturday in washington, she still has a shot at making Huma Abedin first lady. poor Bill will probably stay at his shack in harlem.

Re; huma abedin; not bad Hillary...
mmmm, mmmmm, good!

when I first saw the video, I have to admit that I was laughing really hard!! Of course, the priest should have never mocked her like that, but there is some truth about it!
This is no big deal though,considering the fact that HRC suggested just a week ago, it might be good for her to stay in the race, in case "something" happened to Obama!!!

Hillary and Bill do think they were entitled. That is why this farce has gone on for so long.

After watching the clergy on BOTH sides it is clear to me they are the main reason we have not made more progress in uniting the people in this country to live together in peace.
Instead of preaching love, peace and brotherhood they fan the flames of divisiveness.

What is wrong with telling THE TRUTH ??????
Hillary ALWAYS thought that "being Clinton makes her " entitled" ".
Do we still remember her " hard working whites ????? "
What goes around – it comes around.

I think that altho his surmon is not true in regards to the teary Hillary. There is a sense among some of us democrats that Hillary was to be the choosen one. I think that is where it is all coming from. Barack is right in being disapointed about the surmon. Everytime sombody of stature says somthing about Hillary it is pointed to Barack as if he is the one stiring things up. That is what makes me sick about this election year. Barack is responsible for his own words. Not anybody elses. DEMS UNITE. MCcain will do what us dems are not for. Hillinites is this really what you want?

Another example of the forces that shaped Obama. I think it is outrageous that all this is being overlooked by the democratic party. There is a new McCarthyism today. Instead of being labeled a communist is you speak out or vote against certain powers that be, you are now labeled a racist if you vote vote for Clinton and not Obama and do not follow him. Superdelegates are also being pressured by his campaign and afraid of possibly being called a racist if they side with Clinton. There were calls for Clinton to "abandon" the racist voters!! Does this mean all 17 million people who voted for Clinton are racist?! I fear for this country and hope PR, SD and Montana can stop this new McCarthyism, or should we call it Obamaism. Oh by the way, I know that I will be called a racist for even bringing this up, it only supports my case.
Please post this CNN.

This will never get posted but he is right, Geraldine Ferraro especially.
How dare they vote for that black man before a white woman? I guess we forgot the pecking order.

????????????????????????Crap

Typical Obama supporter. Says some mean stuff then comes out and apologizes "if he offended" anyone. Well, "Father" as a catholic you very much offended me, it's not a matter of "if". I thought Priests were suppose to be loving to ALL people, not just the one you support running for President. You're a disgrace to the cloth! Again, so much for "unity" from the Obama campaign.

Obama is always "deeply disappointed" about anything that comes out negative about him. I am "deeply disappointed" that this man was put pushed down our throats whether it be by the media or the DNC. You would have thought he was the second coming of Christ, the way he has been treated. I am sure that he will not be called on the carpet for the racist and sexist remarks made by this "priest" whom he has known for years and worked on his campaign. It was going to be a hard decision for me, if he wins the nomination, as to whom I would vote for in the GE, but all said and done I'll go for the lesser of two evils and vote for McCain.

The ugly face of Obamas friends once again reveals. Obama is a JUDAS goat and his own reputation is not damaged.

Typical of the left wing nuts who live in the Obama camp.

Isn't it time for the second coming or the end of the world? Quick, quick – to your caves!!

can you change the spelling of my post from priveledge to privelege...tricky word for me...

If the Clinton's didn't drag this out beyond the point of ridiculous, and if she wasn't so fake, with the tears, the fake accents, the I lived here, I lived there, I lived everywhere pandering, and the fact that she does indeed believe that she is for some reason entitled to the nomination....this would not have happened. People are just sick of Hillary and want her to go away and go away fast!

Here we go again. I take Father Pfleger at his word. He's apologized. He's not the first surrogate of either candidate to say something really stupid. I don't attribute those comments to Sen. Obama just like I don't attribute comments made by Sen. Clinton or Sen. McCain's various surrogates to them.

Back to the issues please!

I agree!! She does think she is entitled!!

What an idiot! Another fool out of Obama's closet! Hangs out with Jess Jackson too? He's a creep.

If one is right, one shouldn't have to apologize. And in this case, you gotta admit, the priest's comments were absolutely right.

Another lame apology !
Why in the hell don't you THINK before you speak?
Go and meditate and pray that God will give you some common sense !
Lots of people who don't have a clue will hear this all over
FAUX news and decide against Obama, thereby voting against their own best financial interest!
Go look in the mirror !
Shame on you!

It's this anti-Clinton bs that keeps them in the fight. I hope she stays in until at least the fourth ballot at the convention. No deals Hillary, why would you want to negotiate with people who hate you?.

This should in no way reflect on Obama. This is not his fault. He can't control every person and what they say. This is ridiculous.

How is it Barack's church when the preacher is a Catholic Preacher??

He's absolutely right – Clinton does feel entitled so there was no need for him to apologize.

thats like sayong ted turner is responsible for all the bigotted comments in the cnn building in atlanta ...

JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THERE IS MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM.

WE ARE SEEING 1ST HAND THE HATRED THAT COMES OUT OF THIS MAN'S CHURCH OF 20YRS!!! NOW YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE THINKS DIFFERENTLY JUST BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?? GIVE ME A BREEEAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS PRIEST IS JUST STICKING IT TO OUR FACES. HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING AND IS NOT GENUINELY SORRY. I DONT SEE ANY REASON ESPECIALLY AFTER REV. WRIGHT'S HATEFUL SERMONS FOR SOMEONE TO PREACH SUCH HATRED IN THE SAME EXACT CHURCH UNLESS THAT IS WHAT THAT CHURCH STANDS FOR

BARACH OBAMA – YOU'RE STILL A MEMBER OF THIT CHURCH AND YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A UNITER??????????????????????????? H*&&LL NO YOU ARE NOT A UNITER. YOU ARE THE MOST DIVISIVE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY

Here we go again...I am sure there was some truth to his words and people know it but he is apologizing because this will be blown way out of proportion...especially by the Clinton campaign who are already mad that Obama didn't denounce the statements...

This is all they need to keep the mess going..June 3 can't get here quick enough!!!

Who cares, He is not the pastor of that church. He was only a guess speaker and he only said what many have thought and said. Like you in the media haven't had thought of this. Even Bill Richardson said Clinton think she is entitled. Everybody seam to wont their little few minutes in the news. People on this blog are saying worst then what this Priest is saying. We don't really care. We just wont this election to be OVER.

Cool priest. I think this could boost Obama's Catholic vote.

Obama '08

Another Obamanite wanting attention!!!!!!!
GO HILLARY 08!!

Don't these people learn anything? Obama seems to surround himself with people like this. Makes me wonder what kind of judgment and ideas he has. Unless a Hillary supporter is on the ticket with him I will write-in Hillary.

This 60s rhetoric and the nasty Obama bloggers are making it hard for many people to "love" an Obama ticket. This has got to change or we will have a Republican victory which means a conservative court for the rest of our lives and an occupation of Iraq for the rest of our lives.

"The truth shall set you free"

I have been a life long Democrat. However, after viewing the antics displayed at the "church", as a woman I have been deeply offended. I have always contributed what I could when the emails from the party requested funds for a project or advertising for our candidates.

I am taking a huge breath and pausing. This is something I would expect from Rush L, the pill popper, and that gang.

I really need to think this out.

After a lifetime of hysterics, it is beyond a little difficult to believe that he means any small part of this apology, much less the whole thing. He obviously lives in the world of "do now, apologize later" which brings into question how he remains a priest in the Catholic Church. He should've been removed before and now the Church is getting smeared again. As for Obama, he may not have been there but he is said to be "very close" to this person as "they came up together in the city". That and the fact that he was in church with the people who were cheering this guy and had to have known how the church in general felt and he is STILL a member and has shown no concern about leaving. No doubt he'll pull back step by step as he feels it's necessary depending on public reaction. And Obama is supposed to be an agent of unity and new politics???? Step down Mr. Obama.
As for Obama's supporters, I can't wait to see the reactions and how they agree with this psycho and blame the media for bringing it up and blah, blah, blah.................................

Who remembers that SNL skit very early on in thsi race? How is that any different? sad truth is that more people probably have thought about the same thing. equal truth is that so many in the media have actually commented about this sense of entitlement by the clitons on air. pfleger is guilty of not having enough good sense to recognize to leave this subject well enough alone.

The white priest said it best:

"Since when is TRUTH unacceptable?"

We go to the church to get peace and listen good thoughts But Obama’s Church preaching trash and making fun of others . I don’t’ think they learn the lesson from Jeremiah Wright controversy
I respect Obama’s Ideas but I am not ready to trust him

How is what Pfleger said any different than what people have been saying in the past few weeks about Clinton feeling that she is entitled to the Presidency? Yes, he was theatrical, but after Geraldine Ferraro's comments, Bill's comments and Hillary's "working, hard-working-Americans, white Americans" comment, Pfleger's comments seem to have some truth to them.

What is more disturbing is the fact that you guys have nothing on Obama so you are using other people's words to hurt him. Silly really.

It's ture! Ha!
She thinks it is owed to her.

THIS HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH BARACK OBAMA.

Another one...

He sat in this kind of church for 20 years people.

not 1 but 20 years....

WHEN ARE YOU ALL GONNA WAKE UP!

Is there a group that is the opposite of KKK?

If there is such a group, I am sure OBAMA is a lifetime member.

Watch out AMERICA!!!

He will destroy this country!!!

I'm pretty sure women are still allowed to acknowledge their LACK of priveledge in our society and even wealthy and white women are allowed to have feelings. I think we prefer people with feelings, right?

This is one more example of the reason I will NEVER vote for Obama, even though I'm a registered Democrat. I don't especially like Hillary, but I am disgusted by the treatment she has received during this campaign.

The priest is stupid. Why say white woman and black etc. It makes me more and more sceptical too religion as an agnostic when i see and read so many crazy stuff the christian leaders say and do. I hope Obama win because he is the best candidate. Let the crazy priest go behind McCain instead. Thats where they belong.

Another pastor disaster for Obama – another clown ranting and race baiting at the “church” that Reverend Wright built.

The very same church that Obama defends and is a member of.

I thought church services wee intended to lift people up, not tear them down.

What kind of church is this that Obama belongs to?

I bet the 17 million plus voters that voted for Hillary will be quite insulted by this. And rightfully so.

And if even a fraction of those 17 million don’t vote for Obama, then he CANT win.

ok, it was mean-spirited, not entirely accurate, and has no place in politics but, it was pretty funny. As it stands, its much less impactful than what Wright, Hagey and Parson's said. A virtual non-issue.

Maybe, someone should look for one of Obama's close personal friends and advisors who do not agree with Rev Wright. I suspect the only ones you will find will be his political advisors (of course it is possible that they also agree with Wright and Pfleger). The superdelegates need to wake up and recognize that this man's friends and advisors will be appointed to positions in Obama's administration and to the Supreme Court.

it is so obvious how nasty are some pro-Obama people. They do not respect any boundaries, they do not have basic human qualities – they are just plain strange nasty creatures. What good it does to make fun from someone? Few seconds of fame, and satisfaction of some twisted need?
How come that priest dares to do this? How come that priest can even think of doing what he did ? The priest -who is supposed to lead, to show the ways, to teach people good – is this a way they go in those churches? I am asking, I do not know anything about this so called "church" movements, and honestly said – I am shocked by the culture.

Yes indeed this will be the election that goes down in history. Yes indeed. The year of the Great divider and destroyer of the people and the constitution. obama has done more dividing and destroying since he has been in the public service then any human.

WHY DOES OBAMA DISCRIMINATE AGAINST GAYS/

Obama is publicly against gay marriage? Why?

Afterall he's a member of a minority group that has been discriminated against for a long time so why would he discriminate against another minority group?

Answer: Politics--he panders like all the others which of course means he can't be believed.

While the Preist was out of line in what he said. If you take out the phrase "I'm White and Black man" I am pretty sure he was dead on target with some of the thoughts Hillary has been having. You would have to be stupid not to think that she didn't think she had the nominating procedure wrapped up before it started and Barack was a COMPLETE SURPRISE!!

But on another note there are two more things I would like to bring to light...
this is the 3rd minister-preist-pastor to be highlighted in this political event due to radical/insenstive statements. You want to look at some of the social problems America has, you have got to look at what is being said from some of the pulpits of our churches. We all talk about America being a CHRISTIAN nation. Unless I am confused that is SUPPOSE to mean you a followers of the words and beliefs of Christ. My understanding was the word of Christ has more to do with understanding, forgiveness, etc.. This is not what what we are hearing from these pulpits and it is a SHAME..

Second thing I want to bring up is ..I have NEVER seen anyone cause such MEANNESS from people than Hillary Clinton. How in the world does she THINK she would get alot done as President. I am one of those people who thought 6 months ago she was a very talented person who deserved respect. BUT her actions the last three months has changed my opinion of her to the point I can BARELY STAND LOOKING AT HER. She is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of what is WRONG in American Politics. She has DEVOLVED into someone who will say anything, try to change the rules, or whatever else she can do and get away with to win.. A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

I don't see how this story is connected to Obama in any way. The man is a Catholic preist (so isn't he a Father not a Reverend?) And he's not connected with Obama's church, he just spoke there. So how is Obama in any way responsible for what he said? I think Obama responded to this appropriately and this is a non-story.

How will Obama talk his way out of this one? Oh wait, the media will just sweep it under the rug like always.

If Clinton or McCain went to racist sermons and had spiritual advisors that repeatedly made racist remarks against blacks, they'd be pressured to give up their senate seats!

Obama called Pfleger his spiritual advisor in 2004. One of Obama’s earmarks was a $100,000 grant for a youth center at a Catholic church run by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, Sure, the youth center is nice. But, giving money to a controversial figure, not so nice.

How am I supposed to vote for him in November since it's becoming apparent that he can't be trusted? Between his racist mentors, his ties to Rezko, Exelon, and his half truths–"I don't take money from federal lobbyists, but I do take money from state lobbyists, spouses of federal lobbyists and special interest groups” it is apparent his rhetoric about change is a bunch of BS.

"Clinton wept because she thought that as a white person and the wife of a former president, she was entitled to the presidency"

Um... yeah. Have her actions shown anything other than this is exactly what she believes?

She's been duping us, dividing the party, and hurting our chances of winning in November because of this sense of entitlement for so long, we have become complacent.

So glad only the Clintons have played the race card in this election. How does this church retain its tax-exempt status and why are we the taxpayers allowing it? Also, aren't there children in the congregation? What kind of message does this ranting send to them? So much for the warm and fuzzies so many of you attribute to Obama and his followers. Hard to believe Axelrod "isn't sure" why this crackpot resigned from the campaign's spritual committee.

I can understand how people who are not for Obama would take this an run. However, I believe that it is really un-fair to connect everything that everyone who was ever been a friend of Obama said to him. We all have friends, and good friends, and you know and I know that we do not share ALL of the same beliefs of even our good friends. The ties that bind us might be related to one thing but not another. I am sure that Obama was close to this man because of the community service that he does in Chicago, just like you or I might be close to someone because we both like the same sports team, but that does not mean we agree on all issues.

Obama/Gore 08

The obamas clearly have a problem with the white race, and can be considered to be racist. this is a huge issue,we do not need a racist in the U.S senate, much less as President. DISGUSTING. is the only word to describe the Obamas church,along with those in the media,the SD, the dnc, that promote such filth!

This is not going to get any Clinton supporters to come to our side anytime soon. But that "sermon" is pretty much an accurate portrayal of what happened.

I am mocking her too. She needs to get out of the race!

If Hillary is out, many lifelong democrats switch and vote to John Mccain instead of Barack "Hussain" obama reason atleast Mccain have enough past so we can judge him, I visited many middle eastern countries for business and spoke to so many of them about whose there favorite, believe me or not those guyz wants so badly Obama to be president, don’t you see a relation between not wearing flag, the middle name "Hussain", Farrkhan support, Hamas approval and middle eastern liking for Obama

People, please dont decide and vote based on race, think about how much you know about the person you are going to elect as president.

She did, did she not!Sometimes the truth hurts

it's his opinion, it has nothing to do with Barack... I don't think that it should have been spoken in church, but what does that has to do with Barack?? I have crazy friends that say that the dumbest things, do i share the same belief, no.

Who cares, He is not the pastor of that church. He was only a guess speaker and he only said what many have thought and said. Like you in the media haven't had thought of this. Even Bill Richardson said Clinton think she is entitled. Everybody seam to wont their little few minutes in the news. People on this blog are saying worst then what this Priest is saying. We don't really care. We just want this election to be OVER.

This is not news worthy what some priest says I am tired of the he says she says game it getting down right stupid and not worth reporting. I don't care if it's coming from Hillary camp or McCain's camp or Barack's Camp. If it isn't about the issue leave it the hell out of the news.

That's my 2 cent's on it.

I am sick of it... dam...

The next moron that says 'this is not a news story' needs to go outside and shoot themselves in the face. THIS IS A NEWS STORY. Obama hangs around racial people and his wife is obviously a racist. If their campaing wont say, "Ok, enough with the racial voting" to the black community, then the pot is black and the blacks are voting racially.

NO OBAMA, HILLARY OR MCCAIN. NO MORE EXTREMEISTS!!!!!

This absolutely disgusts me. And they call this church? I'm not fooled by the amen every other word masking this as something spiritual. It's purely hatred. Why hasn't this church lost its non-profit status? I thought I understood that no non-profit group could officially back any political figure or candidate without losing its tax exempt status. That's why the NAACP got into so much trouble a while ago. I don't believe Obama didn't know that this was happening, being a member for 20 years. I also read that obama earmarked 100,000 for this priests congregation. If that isn't special interest I don't know what is.

This is no surprise, the media has been doing the same thing for months, mainly on MSNBC. I have never seen as much sexism in my life.I am glad my mother, god rest her soul, isn;t here to see just how bad it is. It must be hart breaking for some mothers to see how their boys turned out, and become women haters.

That's not Senator Obama's Church, but a Church he used to go to. He has no control over what member of a church he's still going or used to go has to say. Have he had the power to control their freedom of speech would have made him a dictator. He has done right to denounce the comment to letting know where he stands though he did not have to.

Now I have no church to go to because every time I heard each of them said something I did not like, I moved to the next church. Now I seat home every Sunday. Maybe I should have stayed in one of them and only digest only what I like to hear. But I would still be blamed for staying.

And yet – had this been Clinton's minister/priest/rabbi/WHATEVER... The Obama camp as well as half of America would have been in a serious uproar. I guess Geraldine Ferrarro wasn't wrong in expressing her views after all...

This is the last we should hear of any particular "side" pulling the race card, as it seems to work equally in either party's favor.

"Tell me with whom you walk, and I will tell you who you are..."

Just another fanatic trying to rev up the mobs.

Barack is going to have to deliver another speech. This one about unity.

Add Pfleger to the list of the other whacko pastors like Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Hagee, Parsley, Robertson, Falwell.

Sick!

I thought this was funny as hell at least this guy has a sence of humor.

obama,please
u do not have to apologize for everything that someone says
u didnt say it
hillaey has mocked and insulted u at every given opportunity,did she apologize?
dont try to convince us u are running a clean campaign
we already know u are
u must not apologize for everyone
it is boring
i love you but stop it all ready
u need to be tough
obam 08

I think the writing on the wall is clear. To those who want to keep their heads buried in sand and not face the reality, the contest is over and it has been won fair and square by Obama Campaign team. To all HRC supporters, please cry a river then build a bridge and cross over it.

Don't take the party down with you by all this delusional talk of "I am better than you because I say so" attitude. There is no point in dragging this any further. I hope HRC will concede gracefully and bow out with some dignity while there is still a chance.

What kind of churches does Obama go to?

This is terrible that a priest who mock someone.......anyone.

This is Bad news.

I can agree with much of what he was saying, but it was inappropriate.

It has no reflection at all on Obama as far as I'm concerned.

I find this story troubling. Once again, the church attended by Sen. Obama is in the middle of a controversy. The values of the person who will be the future President are important to me and based upon what I have seen and the fact that he has attended this church for so long, I am not sure that Sen. Obama shares my values and beliefs. My concern has increased such that I am not sure that I can vote for someone who does not share my values and mocks those who turn to their faith in times of crisis.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

People, has it not occured to you, that Obama is THE liar??

He's the one promoting one thing, and all of his followers promoting something else.

You Obama supporters are all idiots for trusting someone – who SOO OBVIOUSLY hates our country!!

GOOO HILLARY!!

I guess this is the smoking gun or "anything could happen" Clinton was waiting for. This story has no legs but I guess we will see the video over and over and over again. The media barely covered the clinton comments about RFK and quickly moved on. They barely covered her saying whites will vote for her and not him and quickly moved on. Yet Clinton wants to whine and cry foul of the media coverage of her please......

Sorry... but obama did not say this . A White priest did. and he apologized. The medica actually accepted her lame apology for Bosnia but we want to nick pick this situation to death.. move on people. Oh by the way...BARACK DIDN"T SAY THIS And truth be told Hillary does think she is entitled and she is pissed Barack blew up her spot!!!

Obama )=08 and thats it lets get this country back on track

whats wrong with these pastors and priests...in my opinion they need to focus on religion not politics but having said that its *not a candidates fault* what comes out of their mouths!!!!
not for Obama or MCCain
I have listened to my priest for many years BUT I live by own ideals
and inner morals!
I listen to my own conscience!!!!
personally the media needs to focus on the issues instead of trying to bring down any one candidate with the words of another!!!
its getting ludicrous!!!

If Obama doesn't win the election, it will definitely be because of those guys. They're really ruinning his chances, but i'm still an obama supporter.

He was not mocking clinton he was telling the truth I agree with him she thinks she is privilaged because she Bill's wife and white, he also was right by saying a lot of white people are sad clinton lost to a black man.

How can Obama know people for years, yet not know them at all? Either he is lying or he is very dense? His mentors are coming home to roost. LMAO

Why is Obama still a member of this church which obviously condones racism? If it was McCain or Clinton attending an equivalent church they would have to have the church a long time ago or faced the end of their political career.

The ugly face of Obamas friends once again reveals. Obama i a JUDAS goat and his own reputation is not damaged.

Here Is Yet Another Person That Not Only Sees The Truth About This Woman, He Speaks It As Well! She Cant Deceive People As Well As She Thought She Could. The American People Have Been Smart Enough To Vote This Woman Out. Someday We Will Have A Woman President, But It Will Never Be Hillary Clinton. She Is Not The Woman That History Remember. Obama Will Be The History Maker This Year.

So caucus states are to get no popular votes at all? Talk about disenfranchised voters? Why arn't the Clintons worried about them. But, even beyond this......So, let's get this over with. Thousands dead in Iraq, hundreds of thousands wounded, an economy in shambles, an evironment in crisis, and our childred getting inferior education or none at all. To heck with the preachers, thank McClellon and lets get on with electing Obama so Washington can finally change. It does not take rocket science to figure this out. Good for Pelosi and Reid! Hillary, a demonstration? Give me a break and give the intelligent eletorate some credit. You should be ashamed of yourself!

The ugly face of Obamas friends once again has reveals. Obama i a JUDAS goat and his own reputation is not damaged.

Prior to each important primary, Obama's church is in the news. Now, prior to this important meeting on this weekend, a visiting minister is in the news as an attempt to affect to outcome of the DNC's decision.

Sen. Obama is not responsible for what other people say.

The media needs to stay out of those churches unless they are there seeking Christ and report things that will help this country. Why not spin the altar call on the news over and over.

Obama 08!!!

Obama be a man and reject your racial voters

And what does this have to do with Obama again??

No need for apologizes.

Hillary does think because she is a "White" woman and is a wife of a former president, she is entitled to the presidency.

I can see this about Hillary very clearly, which is very disturbing about Hillary's character. We don't need a woman, with a character like Hillary, running this country.

Why on Gods green earth would anyone want a man like Obama in the White House after he has condoned and listened to this racism for over 20 year?????

People have to be out of their minds!!!

Obama just can't catch a break huh? Who care's whether he mocked her or not. Her supporters mock Obama all the time. She herself has mocked Obama. Since we want to see more videos... Everyone go one you tube and search for "Hilliary Uncensored".. "I Triple Dog Dare Ya"!

Who cares, He is not the pastor of that church. He was only a guess speaker and he only said what many have thought and said. Like you in the media haven't had thoughts of this. Even Bill Richardson said Clinton think she is entitled. Everybody seam to want their little few minutes in the news. People on this blog are saying worst then what this Priest is saying. We don't really care. We just want this election to be OVER. CNN you need to stop following after Hannity and keep your dignity. I can't wait until somebody find some dirt on him to smear all over the news.

Who cares, about this. Why does Barack have to explain every controversial sermon at that church; this was Sunday he was in MA. Is this the best they can come up with... Please

Mr. Obama seems to have a problem with ministers. Or do these ministers have a problem with Obama? I wonder about that. And what it means. Obama just can't seem to come clean about his beliefs.

People have opinions. Why do the people who are right always get the most criticism in the mainstream media. If the mainstream media was as engaged in investigatory journalism like they were in the 60's and 70's there would not be so much overblown hysteria about non issues and so much ridiculous trash reporting, ala like that of the National Enquirer.

what he said was true, how he said it was just the some of the issue.

When are people going to OPEN their eyes and QUESTION Obama's BASIC judgement? What else do we NEED to know about his other INFLUENCES? VOTERS WAKE UP!

THIS IS WHY SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE NEEDS TO BE REALLY ENFORCED!!!!!!!

BTW,

What makes Hillary an expert on what should be said in a pulpit? If he thinks it helps him get his message across then so be it. This man has given his life to the ministry. Hillary and Barack have a hard time just being consistent on sunday morning.

Rodney

Looks like a race card to me. You got 5 mofo's telling you you got a tail, you better turn around and LOOK!

Making mockery of Americans is not what I expect to learn in a Church.

Wow, would that be considered racist?

Actually, he said that Hillary thinks she is entitled to be President b/c she is white.

Just more hate speech spewing from the pews of Trinity.

I hope not all African American churches preach hate against whites.

Hillary 08, the electable candidate

So Rev. Pleger is WHAT in the Obama campaign? If we are going to keep say "Look! Listen to what he/she said!" then each candidate will constantly apologize for all of the STUFF their supports are saying in protests, blogs, newspapers, books, radio, TV., youtube, magazines, on the street, cars, in their own minds/homes/meetings, etc. So enough with "I got you stuff". GROW UP PEOPLE!!!!!

When I paid $53 to fill-up a 12 gallon car let me say the last thing I was concerned or thought about was what someone other than a candidate was saying about the economy. PERIOD.

who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...who cares...sheesh!

Just another wierdo for Obamo. This is becoming a trend.

I believe you have to seperate church and state so I don't like when priests talk politics, but I don't think this priest had to apologize... what he said was the truth. Hillary allowed a freshman senator to come and clean her clock and she can't believe it. She had the Clinton brand name in her favor and she thought she had the nomination on lockdown. She underestimated Obama and it cost her the nomination.

Go Obama!

Why is Pelosi/Reid front and center again?

We just found out 2 days ago that one of McCain's top economic advisers is Phil Gramm. Gramm is responsible for the mortgage crisis and he is advising McCain on the economy. No one in the MSM is reporting this, and yet we are tallking about something a pastor said at Trinity when we all know Barack wasn't even there! What Father Pfleager said doesn't affect me.. What Gramm did... AFFECTS ME AND EVERONE ELSE THAT HAS AND WILL LOSE THEIR HOMES! Just like Scott McClellan said: If the liberal media did a better job at reporting, Americans would have been better off. When are you all going to see that this is nonsense. And I'm not just talking about Pfleager or Wright...I'm talking about all pastors... Hagee, Parsley... all of them. Quit with these non-issues!

Can we please move on to a real story. This is getting so old.

The Clinton campaign is so twisted. They suggest that Obama didn't reject the statement after he comes out and says he was dissapointed by it. How sick are they? How much more desperate can they get? I will say this though, Obama's church is pretty stupid for stiring up the media again with a statement like this. It may be time for him to find a new church.

CNN'S LEAD ARTICLE YESTERDAY: About how Obama played "hardball" (DIRTY!) in his first Chicago Senate campaign. A real eye-opener about "Mr Clean"!
• Used Chicago rules to invalidate voting petition signatures of 3 challengers
• Challenged every single one on “technicalities”
• If names were printed instead of signed in cursive writing, they were declared invalid.
• If signatures were good but the person gathering the signatures wasn't properly registered, those petitions also were thrown out
• "It's not the tactics of 'let's all people come together and put your best ideas forward and the best ideas win,” as he now likes to claim
• "That's the spin; that's in the Kool-Aid.”
• In the end, he made sure voters had just one choice: HIM

Nice try with this bogus story . This is to petty to be mentioned. Is this all they have against Obama. Stupid people at fox network.

My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. Go back and check the record…Obama released his platform weeks after Clinton released her Solutions For America agenda. His were extremely similar to hers. The Clinton campaign reacted to the release of the Obama platform by saying…”at least his is not that different than ours” So I ask you, what does this man stand for when he copies what it convenient to his campaign? For shame!

Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement both for himself and his supporters - your/his time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought or experience as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. A country cannot have economic security and growth without first securing national security. And anyone who does not believe this is living in dream world…period! The simple and relevant truth is…….. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time

McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him.-he is not Bush… He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.

For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.

And to all those, Obama supporters, who have previously responded to my comment, or wish to now I say this…you are being fooled by the joker himself-Obama. Study up on your American history….this man will put up a pretty decent fight, however in the end, he will join the ranks of Kerry and other far-left liberals….bitter and clinging to his religion wondering why he came so far only to have the door slam shut on him.

Anyone who is from the Chicago area knows this priest. He shows up on our local news when he needs to bring attention (often inappropriate). Rev. Pfleger doesn't say anything without thinking about it first. Don't be sorry, just don't do it. More racism from this church. Our nation has a problem with race and here's an example of why. Here in Illinois we've been living with Barack Obama for years... and we are still waiting for change.

now i see why ppl lie. PPL lies because the truth hurts. what did this priest said that wansn't true about hillary. this is typical dinner talk all over america.
Dick Morris once said that clinton feels like she is suppose to be the nominee. NM governor said the same thiing after he was called judas. and now this is news cause it's coming from trinity baptist church.
hannity make me sick when he portray obama as a no good son of B###.
Yes the truth hurt and sometimes to harsh for one to bear but, should we lie, should we just ignore the obvious. every american supporter of hillary or not now knows how arrogant she is.
I DON'T AGREE WITH REV. WRIGHT BUT I DONT SEE WHAT THE PRIEST SAID THAT HILLARY HASN'T SHOWN TO US.
Obama is not perfect but that doesn't mean he can't or won't make a great president.
hillary only has herself and her ego to blame for losing cause she had my vote, the nomination was handed to her but OBAMA IS BETTER THAN HER..
THE PATRIOTS WAS A STRONGER TEAM THAN THE GIANTS BUT THE GIANTS WAS A BETTER TEAM.

GO OBAMA

This just shows you that even a great and decent human being can say stupid things.

hmm not shocking like most of obama's supporters the priest arrogant and looks down on people. Its so funny because the barrack supporters that are acting like this are the ones screaming we need to come together as a party. Who wants to back a guys who supporters are so arrogant and when will these priest and preachers stop their politics from the pulpit?

So why do we never talk about this kind of racism. It is racist for him to make these comments. There is racism within the Hispanic and African-American community. It helps to fuel racism from the white "majority." Why do we never talk about that? Why do we never REALLY talk about racism period?

Hillary and Barack can say what they want about this being so aweful but ........ the truth is aweful!

This is pretty much how Hillary has been carrying on, acting like the nomination is hers and hers alone, that her entitlement is being taken away from her. Hillary is going to single handedly bring down the Democrates if she doesn't quit using the race card, the sexist card, the I am better cuz I say so card, the conspiricy card, the I'll sue you card .....there's just no end to the list of her despiration!

Hillary you are not entitiled to the nomination, it must be earned!

Obama 08/12 !!

Watch the video. I know that God is the one who is crying. I dont care who's "side" your on, this was done in the very place where people go to get closer to their MAKER!
The man in the back of the preacher was having one heck of a good time with this!
And, if the place taped this one where are all the videos for the last 20 years panning the people!
I will refuse to think about this place on a Sunday morning when the sun is shining and my kids are safe and I get to live one more day because my MAKER made it so!
God help us.

What is the point of this article? Blitzer, you really should focus on more news worthy events like the fact that 133 American military committed suicide last year as a result of this STUPID war. I am so tired of all these hollow news stories that continue to come out to try to turn public opinion on a candidate. This is just sad. Why don't you try giving us something that actually matters.

The comments were bad, but not so bad as the clapping and cheering of the congregation. The congregation's reaction to Pfleger and Wright show that many, and maybe most of them share the racist, anti-American views. If Obama doesn't share those views too, why does he stay?

CNN WHO CARE!!

Who blindly sat in one of this church's pews for 20 years!?

Yes … and the Catholic Church believe that homosexuality is a sin. I don’t care what Rev. Michael Pfleger has to say. He has no power over me, and his words don’t shatter my belief system. Isn’t this what freedom of speech and freedom of religion are all about? If someone willingly enters a church and records the preacher’s sermon, is the burden of proof – or explanation – on the preacher? Whatever Rev. Pfleger and the members of Trinity Church want to talk about, I JUST DON’T CARE! It is not important. And none of this has any impact on my opinions about Barack Obama. The future of our country and the health of our planet are what we should be worrying about. We need to stop wasting so much time and energy on meaningless chatter. Obama ’08.

CNN GET A LIFE !!!!!!! GO OBAMA

Gas is $4.23 per gallon in CT. This preacher is not running for office. Let's get back on the real issues...

Everything the good Reverend said was true. Cue the sexist and if Hillary then McCain comments. Whatever Pfleger spoke the truth.

She did use her husband's popularity, anyone notice how quickly she droped Rodham when she bacame a candidate, although she insisted on being address theis way during Bill's 8 yrs and her Senate race to "honor" her parents.

She did have a sense of entitlement and completely discounted the chances of the other candidates. Her words were "votes in MI & FL wouldn't count", "I expect this race to be over on February 5th". Things look different when you're losing.

Can cry on cue, check: Not even the lady who asked her the question in NH voted for her. She didn't cry when Bill was dis-respecting her in the White House and the Governor's mansion. But like a two-year old turns on the water works now that she is losing. Get over yourself Hillary. Single mother carry bigger burdens evey day and don't cry about it.

Barack & the Reverend apologized, but the words they choose were not sufficient. Hillary, Barack was more than gracious after your comments last Friday so get over it. No one will get killed over a Reverend's joke.

Has politics really gotten that irrelevant where we find friends of friends of friends who walked by an aquaintance that saw another guy say something who is a priest.

I mean we are grasping at straws on this one and I am kinda tired of it unimportance. Lets move on people.

Oh... what is it with this church in Chicago?! I mean I'm an Obama fan but this is outright ridiculous! They don't seem to care at all for Obama's run for President and don't know when to shut up about politics. One would think with all the controversy surrounding their church, they would take more heed. Even though, I actually agree with him, he had no right to mock her in church, especially at that church. To me, it seems like he wants to be on TV more than he cares to protect Senator Obama, a member of that church, from any more ridicule. Its sad, but Obama got stuck at a church that cares more for its self-righteous leaders then for a member of their flock. Maybe its time Obama get a new church, although I would really love to know when the last time Clinton or McCain's been to church. Just a question.

"suggests Clinton wept because she thought that as a white person and the wife of a former president, she was entitled to the presidency."

You cant tell me that this isnt true... Hillary feels entitled

As much as Rev. Pfleger's comments are inconsistent with Obama's message, I think we all know that there is some truth in them, at least from the entitlemnt standpont. Clinton will never admit that, of course. I'm convinced that Clinton's crying before the New Hampshire primary was staged. The timing was dubious, in my opinion.

Is ANYONE getting it yet about Obama's background? Wright, this guy, DIRTY Chicago politics. There will be lots more – stay tuned! At least, with Hillary Clinton, we KNOW what we're getting.

She may have thought she was a shoe in because she is the wife of a former president, but I don't think she thought it was a shoe in because she is white. Where did that come in, and who is this preiest anyway?

Another man of the cloth, who couldn't act further from it.

Didn't Hillary herself mock Obama at one of her rallies? What is she complaining about? The priest was hilarious. I would find it funny even if it was about my candidate.

How many more "radicals" are around here poisoning young minds, and playing dirty politics.

Sen Obama , why don't you ask your friends to think positive ?

Oh I'm soooo sure he's sorry. Whatever! Neither he, nor the whooping and hollering church-goers are truly sorry for that retarded public display. I'm sure they'll do their best to look apologetic for Barak Hussein Obama's sake but they really do feel that way. So many people want to cry about racism against African Americans and then those same people commit acts of racism against Caucasions. It's disgusting!

Anything to keep us distracted from the campaign. Is this reverend running for office? No, he is not. Is Pastor Hagee or Pat Roberts running? No, they are not. Let's stay out of the church's business.

this is not a big deal. is all true about clintons. all they want is more power like the bushes

I'd be disappointed too. Clinton wept for political reasons in my estimation, but it wasn't BECAUSE she thought she was owed the presidency. Correlation doesn't imply causation, after all.

It is said that the truth hurts. My question is this:
................................................. ....................................Is he telling the truth?

Is this how Americans treat their Women, Pastor Pfleger I am sure that your mother cried sometimes... did you mock her like that... I am sure you cried sometimes.. oh.. I have not seen a video of you mocking yourself.

I wish people would stop making abig ado about nothing, some people so wnat to to strike him down that they would catch at any peice of straw, can he control what comes out of people mouths. The democrats need to get nasty and get down in the mud like the republicans. Its a shame.

Is this really news? Do you know that the price of regular gas in CT is $4.23 per gallon. Let's talk about the real issues. Please…pretty please!!!

Once again we have Obama supporters bringing race into this election. This really disgusts me and once again shows the horrible caliber.

And the beat goes on!

This is unfortunate, but make the comparison with what was said by Gov. Huckabee at the NRA three weeks ago about Obama joking and the audience laughed. This country need to get serious. Lets talk about the economy,unemployment and the two wars. CNN you need to get serious. Please report the jobless in Georgia and other states.

Oh no, not again! Not again! All of this hoopla from the quadrennium religious folks. What a waste of time. Let's not get stuck on stupid again. Let's stick to the important issues of the day and who best to handle the load. Lord, help us!

Typical of the treatment Hillary has received by Obama's friends and surrogates. But, of course Obama comes out and says he's "disappointed" after the fact. Gee, thanks.

This is a non-issue for 3 reasons:

1. The priest is making fun of the very unpopular, polarizing Hillary Clinton

2. It's easy to imaging Hillary Clinton harboring the thoughts that he suggests

3. The man is a priest and they are generally perceived as dull and non-confrontational. The fact that he is speaking in such a lively manner is refreshing.

Let's not turn this into a big racial story, the priest is "White." Frankly I don't even know why this is making news!

Obama is not Jesus.He will not enter the Temple and throw out the money changers.All three candidates will end up working for big money,not the people.Dont make a rush to judgement people.

Now, this is pathetic! are these really christians. Something tells me that these comments and actions are timely and calculated especially towards every primaries. Its no coincidence that this happened over the weekend. I suspect the Clinton clan is behind this. I'm sick and tired of whats happening to the democratic party, thanks to Hillary. I cant wait to see the end of this, Obama or Hillary, really dont care anylonger. I aint American anyway.

Do our churches preach about the bible anymore? Lately is seems that all they do is preach hateful bigotry.

Because of this will NOT be voting for Obama.

As a white Obama supporter I am once again outraged by these kind of divisive comments..why won't all these preachers on BOTH sides of the aisle just shut the hell up!! Thanks Barrack for condemning these sort of racist comments.

Come on! OBama dismissed this kind of crap when it happened to McCain last week, it's the media that feeds this. CNN you should be ashamed at the way you have covered most of this election process. You should only be promoting positives.

I blame the super delegates for all of this....they have allowed the process to go on too long and now the bitter hatred from both sides is starting to come through. It's really sad.

Give me a break! You can't pin this on Obama! Hagge & the other guy that got booted from McCains camp, they're comments slide right off of McCain but media love to try to stick "pastor" problems on Obama.

Can we move on already??? Flag pins aren't going to fill my tank or pay my health care insurance. We are in a mess because of the republicans and we should be holding them accountable for it!!!!!!

Where there is smoke there is fire.....just keeps on coming from the Obama sycophants, which include this network, with Martin and Cafferty and the rest of the Liberal bunch. I love it and am waiting to here the spin from you guys. That is if you have the guts to publish this, which I doubt (most Liberals are gutless).

November will be fun

While I think it was in poor taste for Pfleger to mock Hillary, I couldn't help but laugh at his remarks. Certainly, there is some level of truth in his comments. The only reason Hillary is hanging on is that she feels entitled to the nomination. Regardless of race, she has been preparing herself for years to be the first female president. No matter who came along, black white, woman or man, she would be upset. She needs to find a way to exit this race. I think she'll do it on June 3rd when all the primaries are over.

How does this church maintain it's tax exempt status? This sort of political campaigning certainly should cost them their tax exempt status. It appears to go on in this church often, especially now.

Considering the decades of work Sen. Clinton has performed for civil rights, establishing legal aid services for those who are economically disadvantaged, and helping for children; you would think her work would be more appreciated. It must be very hurtful for her to see how quickly her years of service have been discarded by the communities she has served so faithfully.

Why would ANYONE apoligize for mocking a politician?
NBC (SNL) has made it into an art form.
I believe the Bill of Rights even makes it a God given right.

I'm not sure Obama hould be apologizing for this. No one can hold him responsible for everything that happens at a church.

That's nonsense. Besides, the skit Pfleger did is likely close to the truth.

Obama is so so weak! He can't keep apologizing and think its ok, these people he has been friendly with for years keep saying these stupid hurtful things about white americans. I as a white american was repulsed by this and especially to see all the people in the crowd cheering and clapping. DOWNRIGHT Sick behavior. For a possible future president to come from a place like this is just wrong. Obama said the church was better after Wright left but its not and Obama needs to stop lying.

THE SUPERDELEGATES need to wake up and change their votes to CLinton, this is crazy, the democrats will not win in November unless the superdelegates wake up now!

HAD ENOUGH YET? Another Obama FRIEND. This guy, Obama, WILL SINK the Democratic party. Many have already made the decision not to vote for Obama. We will write in Hillary Clinton or sustain from voting. Obama is real bad news. Sneaky. Any one on this forum feel that Obama's buddy, the good ol' Wright, sacrificed himself for his prize puppet, Obama? Well, many do.

OBAMA DID QUITE A NUMBER ON THE TWO BLACK PEOPLE WHO RAN , OR TRIED TO, AGAINST HIM FOR THE ILLINOIS SENATE SEAT. BOTH HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT HIM. S

Michelle Obama has been a member of that church long before Obama. Her roots, thought and attitude is Black Liberation Theology. She hates White people. Get it, Michelle Obama hates White people.

NEVER OBAMA...NEVER...TRUST WHEN WE SAY...NEVER OBAMA

THE TRINITY CHURCH OF CHICAGO SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN!

NO.. WE WILL NOTE VOTE FOR OBAMA!

The Church of Racial and Social Strife rears its ugly head once again. So when does the Messiah's campaign mouthpiece, David Axlerod weigh in on this boo boo?

Oprah was wise to run from that congregation.

Too bad Obama couldn't see fit to do so until he found it politically convenient. So, Obama is either dumber than a box of rocks for hanging around or Obama holds these same hateful views. Either one eliminates him from the highest office unless the sheeple choose to keep their eyes closed..

While they are issues, I mean real ones, people waste their time with this kind of stupidity.

1) I have NEVER cared what a priest, let alone, the Catholic Church says especially since the Vatican has threatened to excommunicate anyone who ordains a woman as a priest or will excommunicate a woman who becomes a priest; like women don't have anything of importance to say or can’t share the word of God like a man can. What hypocrites. With that logic Hillary would be meaningless. Unfortunately, by her own doing, she has done that to her self.

2) With that said, I wonder if a Clinton operative sits in Obama's Church waiting for something to be said that can be misrepresented and then used against Obama. How else would this stuff get out? I don't see anyone sitting in my church with a camera recording every word my minister says. I find this rather underhanded.

Now we are going to hear Obama fans say, nothing to see here just move along. This friend of Obama is yet another bad judgment call by Obama.
I was a Dem but changed to an Independent and I most likely will stay home in 08.
This is some sick stuff form Obama’s friends.

PS
I'm from Florida and Obama doesnt want my vote anyways.

It's not politically correct to mock anyone; however, what the priest said was true. The Clinton Political War Machine can't believe that they have been out gunned by a no name African American named Barack Obama. Like Governor Richardson has stated on several occasions, "the Clintons think they are entitled to the Presidency." However, like John Edwards said, “the American people have spoken and we have chosen Barack Obama!"

Oh, and by the way, that was funny!

Rev. Michael Pflger you are a JERK.

And?? ..... He is telling the truth ..... "Clinton wept because she thought that as a white person and the wife of a former president, she was entitled to the presidency." ........... Hilary never thought this race was going to be competitive .... She thought she would have a little competition with Edwards ....... the last person on her mind was Obama .....

anyways ... THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE >> OF THE VICTIM CARD ....

To be honest with you, the country does have a racial divide.
You can deny all you want and you can differentiate all you want but what he said was 100% the truth!!

Its true. They are deep divisions but we need to rise above these petty divisons and be one people.

IF GOD DON"T DISCRIMINATE THEN HOW DARE WE.

Doesn't this church ever have anyone preaching from the bible? Even to pick up the bible and read a verse? Hate is all that comes out of this church, mocking, smart comments, and sermons that could cause someone to get up and leave after the service and be soooo mad to do something to another person. How is this a church service? I don't understand.

Well I would have to agree with the priest....HRC thought that this was going to be an easy campaign, they under estimated Obama...

Now as far as HRC statement about this....divisive not, she has been the divisive one....."She gets the white vote"...

But this is not going to matter at all.....Obama is going to be the nominee anyway...

As anyone who has been reading the bloggs knows this is nothing new!

The cult following of the Left Wing Nut Case has been VERY disrespectful, hateful and down right NASTY.

It is the reason Moderates and Conservatives will not support the Left Wing Puppet-we have been completely turned off and don't want to be a part of this HORRIBLE MOVEMENT!

Take it to the floor Hillary-Millions of us (in fact MORE OF US) have YOUR BACK!!

Hillary 08

Well I guess this makes John and Barack even when it comes to preachers to denounce. McCain= Haggee/Falwell
Obama= Wright/Pfleger. My goodness why are preachers playing such a pivital role in the election year is beyond me. This latest with Pflger does not make things any better. The dems needs to be trying to unite not further dIvide. This only make you wander about these SO CALL MEN OF GOD!!!! WHO ARE WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING !!!!!

ALL these preachers just need to shut-up! Sheesh! No wonder there is a separation of church and state!!!

Another racist whose known Obama for more than 20 years. This man also was on Obama's advisory committee. Connect the dots people. We should now see a flow of superdelegates from Obama to Clinton.

The sermon was quite frankly Hillari ous funny even John Roberts had a job Keeping a straight face this morning.

I have to say though didn't it just ring true.

But hey lets compare this to Hillariouses own not so funny statement that she is staying in the race waiting for Obama to take a bullet.

Now that is disgraceful.

And Obama is still affiliated with that church. Pfleger did not ridicule just Clinton, he mocked all white peole. Obama will never be my president.

Oh well, not sure what to say about this one....I guess we all know that Obama will be the nominee. We found another person related to Obama saying something bad about Clinton and now we all want Obama to distance himself. Well what about Hillary saying Obama will not win the White vote. Does that not sound racist. Why doesn't he get the white vote, since he is black maybe. Sounds pretty racist to me. What Hillary actually is saying to everybody is, "He is black and a lot of white people will not vote for him so pick me!"

Hillary needs to run in to the convention, by that time she has made herself so unpopular that they will throw her out of the Senate. You can already see what is happening. People are fed up with her, she is becoming an discease. If you state you will vote for her people start looking at you as if you have a terrible discease.

Sorry Hillary I had you on the top of my list in 2007 but the comments coming from you about other people are just sickening. What happened with the gas tax, Obama did not support it ypou were yelling. I guess you did not either, Memorial day has past.

I wonder it is really a church or a terrorist group, wondering Osama's antiwar claim is really out of good judgement or just influenced by his pastor Wright and others' sermon! dems gonna screw up this election, Osama simply is not electable, people are just so afraid to say anything bad about him because if you do, you will be labled as a racist.

i'm sorry, i have seen the white priest and i thought it was hilarious. they should book him on saturday night live because he is a real comedian.

on a serious note, Sen obama was not at church, he was on the campaign trail. watch the hillary undereducated white supporters collapsed from indignation over this one.

ready, set, go......

Nobody needs to apologize because it's TRUE!!!!..and the video is very very FUNNY. I love it!!!

1. Does Trinity have tax-exempt status? And if so, how?

2. Rev. Michael Pfleger should be censured by the leadership of his diocese.

Whether it is this priest, or Wright, or Fallwell, or Robertson, or Hagee or who ever they are, houses of worship should get back to the business of being houses of worship and get out of the political scene!

If they use their churches like political action groups, then their status as a church should be reviewed by the IRS!

So what!!!!!!! Big deal?

I am sorry but that was the funniest thin I have heard during this whole thing. I hate to have to say it is so true!!!!!!!!!!!

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!

How right is he! the truth is hard.
Barack Obama cant lock up everybodys mouth.
Importaint is what he has to say about impotaint
issues and bring change in this world.

He will!!.

Father Pfleger only voiced what a lot of people are thinking concerning Hilliary Clinton.

He was telling the truth. I wonder how this will be spun now that it came
from a white reverend.

Sounds like another racist comment to me. Obama seems to be picking them nice. So where is Al and Jesse? The messiah will be vetted properly once he receives the nomination, though he could murder someone and his kool-aid drinkers would still follow him.

THE WORDS ARE TRUE, BUT THE PRESENTATION WAS OFF....

This is why I am switching out of the Democratic Party. Hillary has gotten more votes from regular folks than anyone ever running in a Primary... She is the Senator of New York and a former First Lady from AK and USA and she deserves respect because she earned. For the life of me I can not understand why the hate if we are all Democrats.

I can not trust Obama and his believes/church and he has not earned my vote. I rather vote for McCain because at least he has been around and I know were he stands. It pains me greatly to vote Republican but I have to put country before party. Without Hillary in the ticket is a vote against the DNC.

.

How come everytime someone say something we always want to make it out to be a reflection on someone else. What this pastor's says has no bearing on senator Obama. And I don't think it reflects his view. Alll I have seen on the print media and TV caption today is "Another Obama's pastor problem". Please enough already, it did not come out of Obama's mouth. Let's focus on the issues in this campain and not on some idiot pastor.

He was telling the truth...

Now does this means this white priest is a racist? Not to mention this is a pastor of another church. Not Obama's.

Obama only apologized because the video came up. Would he have said anything had the video not came up...NO. Just like Wright!

Obama will never win....Hillary 08 Independent!

Actually I thought it was pretty funny. But I just have a sick sense of humor. However, I'm glad the Preist came out and apologized to Hiliary for his far-fetched sermon. What I find interesting is that it seems the right-wing are trying to find anything to slow down Obama.
Its almost to the point where they are so deseperate that it's sad.
I don't think Obama should have apologize for every little thing someone says about Hiliary.

Fox News has said far worst things about Obama and get away with it all the time. It's ashame.

I suppose the obamabots will say this was taken out of context?!?!?!?!

And they say Rev. Wright's comments were isolated and didn't represent the church's actual views. Right.

20 years people.

Vote Nader (dot) Org

Obama keeps attracting people who make lots of racist remarks! Even a white priest can stoop this low in the Obama camp. Are you Obama supporter and especially you superdelegates who are supporting Obama really against white people? Are you being fair to whites when you insult them as a whole group? Would other candidates be accepted if they had the same type of racist remarks being spilled out all over the press every month? Would Americans of any color vote for those other candidates surrounded by racists? I think the superdelegates need to wake up and take a closer look at Obama and his followers his family. There are too many questionable incidents coming out of his personal life and his supporters like the priest above. When will we know everything about him?

Obamas views coming out more and more...sad but true..wonder whats next to come out and yes he said he was sorry but sure still makes a person think

More sexism and stupid remarks from the Obama Fan Club – and another "religious leader" to boot. One has to commend Obama for taking the inititive to condemn this.

Unfortunately, stupid remarks like this by Obama supporters are the reason why many Clinton supporters will NEVER vote for Obama. Maybe it is Obama and his supporters who are the most divisive wing of the campaign?

An Independent Hillary for 2008!!!

Joke was certainly in poor taste and offensive, he should apologize. Regerdless if Clintin feels entitled or not (I have a feeling she does), he shouldn't have said that. I am glad Obama rejected the remark.

Unfortunately, there will be some Obama-haters who jump on this saying he holds the same views and is racist, sexist, what have you. Those that equate this priests' statements with Obama's beliefs are once again looking a reason to hate which suggests they are hateful and ignorant themselves. Please look at the big=picture and stop looking for negativity where there is none.

Obama '08!

And look, yet another priest of Obama's teaching hate. Looks like there is a pattern here.

The priest was thinking the same thing all of us were thinking. Hillary was crying because she thought she deserved to win. The question I would like to ask is what was CNN thinking by making this news worthy? I think state is interfering in church way too much. Leave the church in peace.

Although I don't condone the statements made by this priest, I must say this pales in comparison to all the crap Hillary has been instigating since day one. I don't feel sorry for her. The Clintons nearly always get whatever they want, and they behave like jealous children when they don't. You get the feeling from her campaign and her behavior that she doesn't really want the job, she just wants to be the President for the prestiege and bragging rights. I for one am glad that they're FINALLY not getting their way. Hillary would be just another do nothing President like Bush, and further destroy our country.

It is appaling to hear the abusive language coming out of Obama supporters. It is almost like they gave the nomination to Sen Obama soon after IOWA and would not hear of anyone or anything that would not give him the nomination.
Sad days for our country ahead with this kind of language.

OK, Let's hear all the Obama supporters make this a HIllary Issue........................GO to it...

Here comes the complaints from all the Clinton supporters. You know they're going to be all over this one, religious fanatics every last one of them.

THIS IS A MEDIA HIT JOB ON OBAMA...THIS REPUBLICAN CONNECTION SELECTION PROCESS IS absolute ridiciulous and desperate. OBAMA's cousins, cousins, nephew knows a preacher that spoke at his brothers cousins church. LOL. This is stuff is just deplorable and even more shameful by you media organizations to call a story. But, don't you worry you will see a revolt of backlash from this count on it. You thought the ABC debate was backlash, wait to you guys feel this.

As a catholic it is sad that a priest's sermon would insight hate. What happen to "love thy neighbor". What has come of our church's to preach this type of message??????? I hope the Illinois Dioceses takes some action against this priest.
kd
tx

NO APOLOGY NEEDED...... IT WAS THE TRUTH, THE CLINTONS THOUGHT THEY HAD THIS RACE WON....... WELL, HERE COMES OBAMA......., THE TEARS BEGAN, THE MUD SLINGING ND THE REAL BLEMISH ON PRESIDENT CLINTON'S LEGACY.... HIS WIFE...

The pastor words were stupid and offencive. However Obama should be defined by what he says not a pastor. Just as Hillary Clinton is not defined by Geraldine Ferraro.
These are exactley the kind of devides he can heal.

un-freaking-believable !!!!! I'm starting to think there is a conspiracy amongst the pastors and reverands to destroy Barack.

OBAMA 08'/12'

Why does CNN have to make this a headline news now?

oh, look. another person close to Obama who continues to want to divide us on racial lines.

sure, Obama's going to unite us. Sure.

Please post this comment – I don't know why everyone is in such a huff about what the Rev. said. He spoke the truth, Billary is upset because a person of color came from nowhere and has stolen their thunder. She's mad because it wasn't "his turn" and because of this she is trying to sabotoge the election. Her sense of entitlement is what keeps this race going. If it was a white man running with the same numbers she would have been out already.

Another observation: Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that Billary has abandoned the black community? Since the polls show that they have been mostly supporting Obama, she has turned away from them.

This doesn't shock me. Everyone wants a piece of Hillary. Just another day on the Sexism Express!! One thing to mention is that this was totally out of place and should not have been brought up during the service. I guess this guy was trying to be a kiss up and show his support for his new politically anointed member. It's a shame that a minister would go to such lengths.

i am so done with all of this! when did religion get in bed with politics.
it's stupid! it's not a story! it's fluff and glorified divisive drama. when is journalism going to regain it's backbone and focus on meaningful substance? sad – sad – sad.

our nation is at a turning point – and all this nonsense only serves to prove how stupid americans have become. i'm afraid all the sacrifice made by the generations of americans that came before has been in vain.

don't shred our last threads of hope for america just for ratings.

get over it and let go of all the inflated drama and victim mentality.

Where is the outrage that we witness when the press perceives someone has made a remark that might be offensive to a black person?

I am ashamed of the way some have treated Senator Clinton who has done nothing but run for President and devote her life to causes that would/will help the American people. It says things about our country Im not sure we should be very proud of. And the funny part is, those that stood around and laughed and clapped are the ones she has tried to help the most.

Senator Obama didnt not say it but... again, theses are the people he hangs out with. Like minds? We keep leaning more and more but George Bush is an example of what slow learners we are.

Does anyone seriously believe that this jerk is "sorry" if he offended Hillary Clinton or any of us "whiteys"??????? I think not. Trash is trash, black or white, city or country, and the people who attend this church and listen to such garbage and take it as the "gosphel" are trash. That includes Barack Obama and his family.

Their apologies are disingenuous, to say the least.

>>>>> i thought in this country we separate the church & state>>>>>

OOOOOOOO ,,, does anyone care about the gas prices on CNN??

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Must we tie every sermon, statement or conversation at Obama's church to him? The preacher wasn't even a member of the church. He is a Catholic Priest!! Does that mean the catholic church is a bunch of radical extremists along the vein of Rev. Wright??? Of course not. So let's move on to the issues that matter to this country.

So he was wrong? Maybe the delivery was not needed, but the message is right on. We have seen that from the Clintons this election.

It seems to me some idiotic priests are hell bent on making sure Obama does not seal this nomination. As if he doesn't have enough problems to deal with. Talk about loose canon priests and ministers. What in Gods name has this got to do with preaching the good word of God as stated in the Gospel. Please for Gods sake if they don't have anything sensible to say they can take a long vacation.

Yes we can.

It's good to see this social phenomenon occur more regulary, it will become commonplace by the time Mccain faces Obama, and the people will be used to it enough to brush it aside. I like it.

This is unfortunate, but has nothing to do with Sen. Barack Obama. Why is this news? We all know that Mr. Obama does not stand for those distractions, and has said so many times, so why feel the need to report this?

We need to hear Roland Martin come out and explain this one.

NO ONE WANTS A PRESIDENT WHO CRIES. THAT IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS. EVERYTHING THE REV SAID WAS TRUE AND PEOPLE CAN NOT HANDLE IT. THIS WILL ALL BE OVER IN A WEEK. OBAMA 08!

Rev. Pfleger was a big hit at TUMC – the crowd loved his nasty little show. Maybe Senator Obama should express disappointment in his fellow congregants.

The evidence is really starting to pill up...

A day late and a dollar short as usual CNN. You also left out that this freak was another Obama spiritual advisor but just like Wright his name has been removed from Obamas website. Your bias is showing again CNN. No wonder the Obama bus is limping to the finish line. It is getting dragged down by all the people under it.

Obama-Webb! Vote.

It was not a nice thing to say and he surely looked like a nut saying it, but it was funny. Politically incorrect as it was, it was not without merit. No one, black or white alike believed that Barack Obama had a chance at the nomination .... He was unknown to most Americans, he has an Arabic Name, his father is an African Muslim who knocked up a white American girl and abandoned her and Barack is BLACK. It was a pipe dream at best. No black presidential candidate had ever been taken seriously before now, of course, we never had a black presidential candidate that should have been taken seriously before now. EVERYONE black and white thought that Hillary would take this primary election because she was the wife of a former and popular president, known to most Americans and yes, WHITE. On the other hand, although in the beginning I thought she would win the primary, I never believed she would win the general because she is a WOMAN. Isn't that food for thought?

======first of all the priest speaks the truth,

=======and secound, why is that obama has to apologizes someone else's comment????????

WHY????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did ever bush and his vp apologizes for their iraq war??
did hillary ever apologizes for her sniper fire?

No good! The priest knew what he was saying - he planned that "sermon" in advance. The Obama thing is first, make your nasty point and second apologize for it. Stinks. Not American. Totally racist.

Well, sure what Rev. Pfleger said was insulting to Clinton, but he hit it nail on! Hillary's campaign is all about spin and changing colors to suit the situation.

The story I wished Rev. Pfleger would have touched on was Hillary's fake Martin Luther King story about what she did the moment she heard he was killed. "I ran into my dorm ... threw my bags down ... and wept ...", says Hillary.

The Clinton's thought this nomination was going to be a cakewalk and that they were entitle to it. What else could explain what happened. This is probably the worst managed and executed campaign in modern history for a heavy weight contender.

This Rev. Pfleger guy is lucky he's white. Otherwise, he'd be all over cable news!

Not a shocker, I believe there is more of this "nasty baggage" that will follow. BO stinks and so does Mr. Obama's character. Do not let this man become the leader of the free world, we will ALL have something much more than buyers remorse.

Who cares? Can we please focus on the real issues?

The truth shall make you free--- so much for trying to use the "elitist" (which is code for uppity Negro) and "hard-working white people" tactic.

Politics has no place in a church setting. However, this seems to be a growing trend, what with Hegge, Roberston, etc. If he wanted to say what he did, he could have done it without all of the ranting. This should be interesting though. Now we have a white priest saying it. I am sure there must be racial overtones in here someplace. Keep in mind, politicans cannot control what ministers say or do. This goes for McCain, Clinton, and Obama. Unfortunatly it is called freedom of speech. It is the price that is paid for unrestriced freedom. One has to take the good with the bad when religion and politics mesh together.

More hate from an Obama mentor? How much more will people tolerate? Obama is exactly like his mentors, yet must pretend otherwise. He will continue to draw criticisim for his beliefs. I'm not buying anymore lies from this man. Of course I never bought into his message in the first place. We can only pray the superdelegates realize the damage his church will cause in the General Election. I will write in Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November. We can not have a racist for President or a racist first lady. Obama continues to divide this country along racial lines. He has set racial relations back a hundred years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go again. Some Obama crony takes it way past the standard for civilized behavior, lets it all hang out, and then apoligizes. And then, of course, Mr. Empty Suit piously, half heartedly, as usual denounces the speech like always.
This moron wants to "heal our country" and bring us all together. Give me a break. He and his friends are creating a racial factor that will not be overcome in this years elections. And they're doing it all by themselves. Hillary doesn't have to lift a finger as long as Obama has all these neat friends.
At least Hillary doesn't hang out with a bunch of wild ranting maniacs. Obama was probably going to recommend this idiot for a cabinet post.

You Obamanistas better wake up and smell the coffee.

He is distancing himself from the comments quickly...

who cares. with all the lies that witch has told she deserves to go straight to hell.

This is unbelievable, that this church cannot get it together and stop acting like crabs in a barrel. I'm convinced they are trying to bring Barack down. So sad.

No need to apologize –

She has indeed acted just like he mocked her! I thought it was very funny condering how she has conducted herself!

Seems Senator Obama is in a rut where he denounces his friends of 20 years and more. It seems the attitudes of his friends and sources of guidance are not his attitudes. At least that is what he says.

Here we go again with the racist church. These people get to say what they want and then apologize. I certainly hope the general public will not let this be smoothed over again.

Rev Pfleger does not speak for Obama I bet you Obama have not been back to that church the media always putting garbage out there to hurt Obama, these does not speak for me or Obama who cares what they say. CNN we need better news then this garbage

Any person with a brain can see that there something abnormal with these church men. They appear at every critical moment and say some B.S.

It is obvious that if these men were for barak obama, they'd keep it shut, because it is obvious these comments dont help his cause.

I beleive these guys are paid by someone to do this.

The Obama supporters have been incredibly nasty to Clinton and then they scream that she is negative. I am going to be so happy to see his candidacy go down in flames in November even if it means having a republican in the white house again.

Yet another distraction we don't need. It doesn't matter at this point, at least not in terms of the nomination process, but it's just another reason racist white voters will use to conceal their racial bias and try to avoid taking responsibility for that bias. As a white man nearing 30 in a "red" city (Jacksonville, FL), I can detect this bias even in some of my friends. It's mostly present in the older folks, though. Disappointing.

Why should he apologize? He only told the truth. She and her supporters, despite not winning in supers, delegates and POPULAR VOTE, feel that she is entitled to it. She has used the race card so much I am beginning to think she is a member of the kkk.

Must be lead paint in Obama's church. Anyone who walks into that place immediately drops 75 points on the IQ scale.

By the way....watch the video. Listen to the cheering for what that loser is saying. Anyone who doubts that 20 years of hanging out with that collection of knuckleheads has had an effect on Obama's view of the world is drinking the DNC Kool Aid.

More scared of this guy in office than ever. Open your eyes, folks.

The Reverend only said exactly how Hillary's acting.

It's true!! Hillary, felt she was entitled to the presidency.

It is interesting how the NATIONAL MEDIA is pushing this to the side burner for OBAMA.

This guy have no experience and the drip that is coming out is down right disgusting and it reflect his disdain for women and any one dare to challenge his views.

AND HE GETS AWAY WITH IT... just like George W Bush did when he was running.

This is why Obama will never win. Look at the company he keeps. This is sad!

What is the big deal here. SNL, MSM, Foxnews all have said Hillary ran her campaign as if she was entitled. That's why she is not winning and didn't have a plan for after super tuesday.

How is Barack Obama responsible for what a Catholic Priest says. Does he now have to answer for the Catholic Church.

P.S.
Father Pfleger is a good man who did a lot to beautify the ghetto in which I grew up in and provide a safe haven a good education for the youth in my community.

Is this really news? Do you know that the price of regular gas in CT is $4.23 per gallon. Let's talk about the real issues. Please...pretty please!!!

You had better apologize, father.

She doesn't feel she is entitled to the presidency because she is white.

She doesn't feel she is entitled to the presidency because she is the wife of a former president.

As per her current claims of "sexism" because she is not winning, the entitlement seems to stem rather from the fact that she is a woman.

This is the very same message of victimization thats being preached at black families every week, all over America...

Member of this Church for 20 years...What does it take for Americans to understand that this guy is not what he has been telling us who he is? Same church different preacher! There is statisitcal repeatability in the data set.

NOW WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT THE PRIST SAID WHEN VISITING THE CHURCH.?

ENOUGH WITH STUPID NEWS. AMERICANS HAVE PRESSING ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.

FORMER FEMALE HILLARY SUPPORTER.

This goes on in churches across America and not just at Obama's church, look back at the Catholic churches. The churches today are allowing anybody in the pulpit that has a Rev. or Priest, etc. in front of their name. This is one of the major reasons I and many others don't attend church anymore.

Barack keeps denying he's a Muslim likes it's a disease.. But yet is affiliated with this weird church that could be the reason he doesn't become president in the Nov. Explain that to me.

Hillary's own supporters said the same thing. Dick Morris has been saying it since the campaigns started. Bill Richardson said it also. OBAMA NEVER SAID THOSE WORDS. You have to admit, she does feel entitled and yes she did underestimate the black man running. That's all understandable and true. Sorry but the news media needs to stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. If it wasn't for them, maybe Hillary would be closer to the election like Obama is.

OBAMA 'O8
Possibly Hillary as VP-not my wish though.

So NOT important!

Barack, convert to Judiasm!

Gimme a break, CNN. I've lost all respect for you as a news agency. Are you really so desperate to keep this interminable Democratic nomination race going that you're trumpeting this nonsense as NEWS? On any given day, a Clinton or Obama supporter is going to say something stupid. But so what? Why is it news that someone who has no connection to Obama makes controversial comments?

How about trying to be a little more objective. It's a sad state of affairs when Fox really is the more fair and balanced news network.

Give me a break. This church obviously has a political agenda and a central theme. If Barak didn't know this after twenty years of attendance, he is obviously not fit to be President. Like Bush, he has a selective memory.

Whatever happen to separation of church and state. Church should be about God and doing good deeds, not politics.

Obama 08!

TYPICAL...TYPICAL...TYPICAL...Y

YOU CAN SEE THAT DISRESPECT FOR WOMEN IS TOLORATED MORE THAN ANY COMMENT ON RACE. Obamanites are not only hateful and disrespectful they are being duped!

This has nothing to do with Obama. He has moved beyond this and is not responsible for what someone else does or says. Let's move on!

Go Obama – Yes We Can!!!

At least he apologized, which is more than we can say about Hillary and her supporters. Neither she nor her supporters EVER apologize for anything they say. To make it worse, she demands an apology for everything anyone ever says about her.

It's too late for appologies from Obama. It is clear where this man was getting his "spiritual" inspiration over the years. Maybe that's good enough for South Chicago but the rest of will need more. He clearly does not have it.

I am sorry but this is laughable. Where is the story? Obama does not have a relationship with this priest. Is it being suggested that he should apologize for any comments actors, comedies, priest, nuns, store clerk etc makes about clinton. This shows her entitlement that everything is about her and Obama should apologize for every comment people make. Yet, she can stay Caucasians are hard working and the media thinks it is okay. her comments are despicable and I am still waiting for an apology. she has received preferential treatment throughout this election and it is time for balance coverage.

Did Hillary apologize to Obama regarding him being shot? I don't think so!!! DOUBLE STANDARD

HE TOLD THE TRUTH.........................

OBAMA 08

Maybe he should apologize for mocking, but not for telling the truth.

This is just getting rediculous.

First off, Obama probably wasn't even there.

Second, Father Pfleger just said what a majority of democrats have been thinking for a while.

Third, just because the article states Obama has known the priest for over 20 years doesn't mean anything as i have known my priest for over 20 years and don't even go to church.

This is all getting so old.

It is not Obama's church. He's not even welcomed in the church anymore.

This reflects on what kind of spiritual background the Obama family has. The question that voters to ask themselves is: Is this the kind of President I would want to lead the United States of America?

thank you apologizing, however, I am a woman a latina woman, and i would have said it the same,
you spoke the truth, people are just afraid to speak about the dynasty,

the majority of us, have witnessed that she feels entitled to it..

how come she can say whatever she wants and get away with it, even worse SHE LIES IN PUBLIC NATIONAL TV and WHILE CAMPAIGNING and none see that as a problem, then she claims she is the victim of "cover up, which is sexist, blah blah blah)

someone please stand up tot the clintons

and to the hillarious..............
