Here we have some answers, look at the close ties of Obama and this Rev. Pfleger. How can people defend obama when they know all this about these two! The American people better wake up and try to figure out what is happening to the great country of America. We don’t need Obama and his type change!
(AP) He’s a white priest at a largely black church. He’s held hands with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. He’s been arrested dozens of times and battled anyone he thinks has wronged his parish — from gun dealers to a local Catholic sports league. Now the Rev. Michael Pfleger is something else: the latest thorn in the side of presidential candidate Barack Obama
While Pfleger is not nearly as close to Obama as Wright had been, he has donated to the candidate’s state Senate and presidential campaigns and sat on a Catholics for Obama committee until a few weeks ago. When Obama was in the Illinois Legislature, he helped land more than $200,000 in state grants for outreach programs run by Pfleger’s church.
The relationship between Obama, a one-time community activist on Chicago’s South Side, and the outspoken priest at the activist St. Sabina Church has been a long one.
As a state senator, Obama secured two grants related to Pfleger’s church — one for $100,000 to repair The Ark community center at the church in 2000 and the other for $125,000 for computers at the church’s employment resource center.
For his part, Pfleger, 59, has donated $1,500 to Obama’s campaigns for state office and another $1,500 to his presidential campaign.

There certainly is consistency in the anti-white rhetoric coming from some of Obama’s closest allies. How disturbing that people can be oblivious to reality. I am sure the GOP is taking note.

Obama has now only confirmed that his buddy, Rev. Pfleger, is the racist that he hangs around with. After all, Obama did give his buddy’s church an earmark (MONEY) back in 1990. Oh yeah, they be close friends.

New York Times from May 11: Typical of Mr. Obama ’s earmarks was a $100,000 grant for a youth center at a Catholic church run by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a controversial priest who regularly held out “whitey” in his sermons to stir up his all black congregation each Sunday.

if we investigate the ethnic, social and political opinions of every major/minor donor for every presidential candidate, we’d find something objectionable in all of them!!

We’re investigating the ethnic, social and political opinions of Obama at the moment, but you have every right to ivestigate any presidential candidate you would like. So do whatever you have to do. Obama is not looking good at all, as there are just to much against him thats coming out of these investigations.

It amazes me that a white priest could be called a racist. I heard the same soundbite, and i don’t care what you say, he was probably more right, then wrong. People will say race is not an issue in this election, but for some people it is the deciding factor. AND another thing that bugs me is that The Catholic church gave him a suspension. How many parish priest have gotten transferred to another parish or not so much as a slap on the wrist. The only reason the priest that got fired ort reprimanded was because the justice dept got involved. But this man makes a statement and has to take a leave of absence. Whats wrong with THAT picture?

Sorry to bust your bubble, but no matter who it is that says such things is racist no matter if its black or white people. Another thing was he was speaking in Obama and Rev. Wright’s BLACK CHURCH! He was using racist comments as Rev. Wright has done for 20 years while Obama sit and agree with him!
