Of course now, he is going to quit his church of 20 years. He has all but clinched the democratic primaries. He now has nothing to lose. If he would have distanced himself from the church earlier, he would have faced major backlash from his african-american supporters, which would have spread throughout the national african -american community (who would have branded him as a traitor). That backlash would have given Hillary the edge, and she's be sitting where Obama is now. Now, it won't matter. With Obama heading towards the primaries, he is the lesser of two evils, and will most likely become our next president. Still, he's a better choice than McCain, but I do think Hillary would be better. This was definately a calculated move by Obama.

It should have never come to this because it's not a big deal what someone's pastor says but the media ran with it. Now we can move on.

But I have heard that a man and wife and children are now CHURCHLESS. This Christian is now without a place to pray, worship, and fellowship. Does that part fit into your headlines? Ask some experts what it means for a person to leave or resign from their church. This move is more than just deciding not to go to IHOP anymore because you don't like the eggs. This resignation is major in a families life. Please CNN cover this is important. I pray for this family without a church, a community, a seat at the foot of Jesus Christ.

We see you for who you are and we don't buy that you were unaware of the insulting, racist rantings of these two men. You can resign, denounce, distance. . .whatever, but this will all be used against you if you are the nominee and you will absolutely lose the general election.

Stay and have all of this or leave and be viewed as abandoning the church for political reasons. Let's look at real concerns (ie, listening to Wright for 20 years, Rezko, Ayers, etc.), not a visiting pastor's pandering to the congregation.

Why he didn't leave this church 20 years ago? If no video shown about Wright and Pfleger's on internet, I don't think he resigns.. He is a fraud candidate and every time he gets a problem , he tries to have the speech. I really don't trust him anymore. I don't know whatelse he is hiding now.

I and probably others agree with Rev Pffleger it was a joke , made any where else would have been considered funny. She is a whiner. I cannot believe she is acting this way, even saying the media is mistreating her, all of you are bending over backwards to please her. The remarks she made about Ted Kenedy was much worse. But she just misspoke, again. and you let it go. She said it! !anybody from Obama`s church that says anything it is his fault. I just wish the democrats would end this mess. bugsy Shame shame Obama has to denounce his church because of words said by others.
