While Barack Obama’s serial gaffes had a strangle-hold on my attention this week, I completely ignored the story of the ongoing lunacy being spouted from his church’s pulpit.. Personally, I consider Father Michael Pfleger’s oratory from this past Sunday at Obama’s Trinity United Church less striking than Jeremiah Wright’s. Nevertheless, it’s still odd how Obama wound up in the company of so many people for 20 years whose true natures eluded him. By his own reckoning, the candidate is clearly a less-than-canny observer of human nature. I certainly hope he acknowledges this shortcoming before attempting mano-a-mano diplomacy with the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadenijad. Anyway, don’t take my word regarding Fr. Pfleger’s sermon. Judge for yourself. Click the video above or read the transcript below. Or do both – we’re all about options here:
