Obama Leaves Church

Barack Obama is leaving the Trinity United Church of Christ. He’s been a member of the Chicagovideo showed up on the Internet of Michael Pfleger who was a guest speaker at Trinity. It shows the priest swearing and mocking Hillary Clinton. Obama says the comments were "offensive (and) have no place in our politics and in the pulpit." Here's Obama's resignation letter. Pfleger apologized yesterday for the remarks but he also blamed YouTube for the controversy, saying, “YouTube and headlines and soundbites can now and have now become an instrument that creates the story rather than tells the story."
