Another Obama Pastor Problem (Video here)

CHICAGO (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Thursday that he was "deeply disappointed" by a supporter's sermon at his church that mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a White Chicago activist, also apologized for last Sunday's sermon at Obama's church, in which he said Clinton's eyes welled with tears before the New Hampshire primary because she felt "entitled" to the Democratic nomination and because "there's a black man stealing my show."

Talk about doing your candidate harm! Of course, when people get going and allow emotions to take over the message they sometimes take it a bit far. It is a shame that anyone takes it to a racial stage. Especially when Hillary has always been exceptionally supportive of minorities. In addition and a side note, the democrats better stop beating each other up or they will lose this election. The party is being divided and the race is going to be to close to have a majority of people swing to McCain because there candidate was not the one to win the party. For myself, I will vote for Obama or Clinton. I just hope that is the sentiment of most democrats. Because McCain is scary politically.
