“Senior Pastor, St. Sabina Church, Chicago, IL
” I’m concerned by issues of poverty and issues of justice and equal access and opportunity especially when dealing with children and education and healthcare. Also, the war in Iraq is non-negotiable: end it! The faith community has to be a prophetic voice to bring us to where we ought to be as a country. Its voice should call every individual to be their best and not assimilate into anything less. Obama is calling back those who have given up and lost hope in the political system both young and old in the belief that we can fix it. He has the intellect for the job and I haven’t heard anyone since Robert F. Kennedy who is causing such an emotional and spiritual awakening to the political possibilities. ” — Father Michael Pfleger
Obama Says That Fr. Pfleger Is A Moral Compass For Him
Chicago Sun Times
April 5, 2004
“These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week — or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant. “
Obama says he reads the Bible, though not as regularly as he’d like, now that he’s on the campaign trail. But he does find time to pray.
“It’s not formal, me getting on my knees,” he says. “I think I have an ongoing conversation with God…. I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why I am doing it.
“The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass.”
“Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, Obama says. “

Obama’s Church: America Will Pay (for raping blacks)
Sen. Barack Obama issued a statement this afternoon after a video tape emerged showing Father Michael Pfleger ‘speechifying’ from the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
In the statement Obama said he was “deeply disappointed” in Pfleger after his sermon was captured on videotape showing the priest mocking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and white people from the pulpit of Trinity, the home church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Obama.
Rev. Pfleger issued his own statement about his Sunday, May 25th sermon: “I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama’s life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
If? Did he just say “if” Clinton would be offended? Pfleger knew that his comments were going out over the Internet and he had to know what the reaction would be. That is like saying don’t think of the pink elephant in the room.
Obama is going to be mighty exhausted from having to throw every single previous mentor/friend under the speeding bus.
It was obvious that the “worshippers” in that “church” were anything but offended. With all that cheering and whooping and hollering; it was a disgrace. Obama’s “church” is more political than it is a church.
Obama’s rolodex is crammed full of unsavory characters: Ranting race hustlers, unrepentant ex-terrorists, corrupt fixers, sleazy ward hustlers, Hamas fund-raisers…the list goes on and on.
What amazes me is how and why this jerk priest wants to be black so much, he does as much as he can to sound and move like Rev. Wright and a dozen other white haters that speak from a pulpit.
This is beyond belief. If McCain belonged to a church where ministers spewed hatred from the pulpit- and the congregation cheered them on, the media would roast him alive- every single day.
…Thank you Mark for the link.
* Michelle Malkin ….thank you for the video
Do ya think Pope Benedict XVI got into the *ss of this radical flem of the Cafeteria Catholic nation? There’s many more Roman Cadillacs like this wackjob in our socialistic blue state! Sharia Law for him would be…. unsaintly!! Beware of false prophets in every denomination and OBAMANATION!!!
Obama has inadvertently done us all a favor. He’s helped to rip off the mask of black sanctity and perfection in this country. For too long liberalism has promoted the ridiculous proposition that blacks are above criticism, on any issue.
All their destructive, self-generated social pathologies are ignored, excused or attributed to whites. Liberalism principle success in race relations is to have destroyed the black family, and created the sick conditions for Wright, his successor, and this crank fanatic priest.
Conservatives didn’t create this cess pool. Liberalism and the parasites who thrive on liberalism dug the hole and filled it. It’s time those of us who’ve been blamed for it got some relief. I’m happier every day stuff like this comes out.
That Pfleger reminds me of the Al Yankovic song, “Nerdy White Boy”.
Isn’t it amazing how only a year ago these folks were supporting the Clinton’s with all they had and now the Clinton’s are dog-dirt to them.
My mistake, wrong song. It should be “White and Nerdy”.
Keep speechifying Father Pfleger, and keep the cameras rolling Trinity. The more America sees of these extreme nut cases associated with Hussein Obama, the more votes he loses.
The Catholic church does have trouble with some of it’s clergy. This Father Pfleger is a real nut job. I was raised in the Catholic Church so I have paid the dues to say what I want to about it. If I was still a member I would quit just due to it’s policy of encouraging illegal immigrants and harboring and sheltering them.
I have run across more Ex Catholics than practicing Catholics and that is largely because of the Church’s liberal political policies. These Exs are still believers in God and Christ, but too many radical liberal priests and Bishops have turned these conservative minded people off.

I feel sorry for the clergy in the Catholic Church who are going against the tide and trying to practice the faith as it was half a century ago. Some of them are not treated fairly by the hierarchy.
Pfleger thinks he is a cross between Barry Fitzgearld and the Rogue priest in ‘cross and the switchblade’. What he is, is a wannebee black preacher, and not very good at it, with a bad haircut, a honkie in the wood pile if you will. Cursing the day he was born White.
Hanging around with Felix and Oscar the Faarahkhan brothers don’t make it so.
Don’t you think all of us here qualify for the same tax exempt status as the Bammer’s Church? Why not? They are more political at Trinity than any political convention.
Interesting about the liberals in the Catholic Church, a friend’s daughter is pulling her children from the same Catholic School she attended and sending them to another diocese because the school has succumbed to the same ills that public schools suffer. I read her letter to the Deputy Superintendent of Catholic Schools where she laid it out in plain English her reasons. You do not have to be Catholic to teach or attend a Catholic School anymore and she feels that the Church is capitulating to non Church members to curry their favor and funding, to the detriment of the fundamentals.
It all makes me wonder if the ills of society have inculcated the same hatreds and prejudices in the children that the Madrasas have in the Muzzies. Take the parent out of the equation and you have State sponsored Socialism or religious sponsored polarization and Balkanism resulting in enclaves not unlike Obama’s ‘Church’.
Poor Osama Bin Laden errr Osama Obama errr Obama. He will have to make all new friends. His old ones are going down the toilet faster than it can be flushed. Who will they be. President Amanutjob of Iran, President Raila Odingalongadingdong of Kenya? Guesses anyone?
Darth, I wonder if he might get fixed from his church. I sure would fire his behind and kick him right out the door.
Rhod your so right and I noticed too that I am not hearing anyone say Africian American in the news. Thank GOD that alone is a plus. I have never used that and never will, there is no way I will refer to someone using that bunch of BS and hyphen baloney.
LOL ( laughing at myself), I got off on a tangent there. haha
BobF. LOL good one, yes I remember that song.
Tom, haahhaa I agree, keep those cameras rolling. That church is doing the work that the RNC won’t do. heh heh
We cannot have Obama as President no matter what.
Tom, I know what you mean completely, if they step up to the plate and get rid of people like this guy it will show too they want to clean house and start to do things right. No preacher, priest or even any leader should scream out hate like they do at that Trinity Church.
Mark what a great description!!
Jack, thanks for sharing about that. What you said “sponsored Socialism or religious sponsored polarization and Balkanism resulting in enclaves not unlike Obama’s ‘Church’.” Youor absolutely right.
Bob, Hahahahahahaha good one.
Our Catholic school educations were quality. But the liberal ‘Cafeteria Catholics’ that pick & choose which one(s) of the Ten Commandments to obey here in this pathetic secular blue state of socialists are dispicable! Our Bishop is ball-less and again, these losers are pro-abortion/choice and same sex marriage and beastiality? Proud to be a CCC: Conservative Christian Catholic and Frau Vader is a staunch Lutheran from Der Fatherland…
Luke 1:37 and Joshua 1:9 one and all!
