What is it with clergy and Sen. Obama? A controversy erupts ... it gets press for a few days ... the person in question apologizes ... Obama apologizes ... and then a few weeks later the person who provoked the controversy is BACK IN THE NEWS!What do these clergy have against Obama?
The latest incident involves Father Michael Pfleger. The Catholic priest who mocked Sen. Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" Pfleger said:
"I was giving a talk about race. And is entitlement one of the things about race that I believe in? Is an unequal playing field one of the things I believe in? Yes, so I don't apologize for being passionate, I don't apologize for being free ... I apologize when my passion or my freeness and my flawness of character get in the way of the content, which is much more important to me — that people hear the message. And when I am in the way of the message then I'm not only apologetic, but I have to change."Are these guys going to keep popping up through November? If so, it's a good thing Obama decided against public financing because he's going to need all the cash he can get his hands on just to protect himself from some of his "followers."
NOTE to future political candidates ... lose the clergy connection.
