Better Late

With great sadness and greater regret Senator Obama has severed his ties (not a decade too soon) with Trinity United Church of Christ. The (very) junior Senator and presumptive leader of the free world thought it best to distance himself from his pastor, his church and yet another of his spiritual mentors (the Reverend Michael Pfleger).

My understanding is that this last episode of pulpit induced Tourette’s was enthusiastically received by the congregation. Perhaps it’s time the Senator formerly resign from his religious and racial community as well. They too are becoming embarrassments. Is it possible his fellow congregants haven’t realized their next President is running on a post-racial, non-divisive, all inclusive, can’t we all get along ticket.
