Default Re: Father Pfleger @ Obama's Church

OMG! OMG! This is too much. This is a priest. This guy is a problem for the Catholic church. Not Obama. Did you read this?

After hearing about Pfleger's remarks, Obama said he was "deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric". Pfleger later apologized in a statement released by Saint Sabina: "I regret the words I chose Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them.

Now it looks to me like he feels his remarks are not remarks Obama would share.

And again this is guilt by association. Sounds like he lives in a district with crazy preachers. But I don't see how any of the comments that this priest made would be comments that Obama would make or approve of. This priest is one of these white folks with a guilt trip over slavery. Thats what I think about Pfleger. This guy probably loves Obama and Hillary pisses him off. Thats the case with many of the Obama supporters. And visa versa I'm sure. But its like asking the Beatles to make the girls stop screaming at their shows. You can't control wacky fans. And you shouldn't be pegged with their fanaticism and inappropriate behavior. .
