Here's what bothers me the most about Obama's departure from Trinity Church:
After the Rev. Wright had preached racism and intolerence from the pulpit for twenty years with Obama front and center in the pews, never expressing disagreement with that message...after Rev. Pfleger spewed his vile misogyny and racism from that same pulpit just a week or so ago...why did it take twenty years for Obama to FINALLY leave the church? What the hell was he waiting for?
In my opinion, he didn't leave the church because he disagreed with the message from the pulpit, he left because it was politically expedient for him to do so. Barack Obama: expediency trumps principle.
There's another one that will come back to haunt us in November!
