Trinity United Church - Barack Obama - Rev. Michael Pfleger

Another preacher is making national headlines because of controversial remarks.
The Reverend Michael Pfleger (FLEH'-ger), a Chicago community activist and priest, mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton's tears just before the New Hampshire Primary.
Pfleger made the comments during a sermon Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ, formerly pastored by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Pfleger, a supporter of Barack Obama, says Clinton cried because she felt ``entitled'' to the Democratic nomination and that a ``black man is stealing my show.''
Obama issued a statement today saying he's ``deeply disappointed'' with Pfleger and that the priest used ``divisive and backward-looking rhetoric.''
Pfleger, who is white and pastors Chicago's predominantly-black Saint Sabina Roman Catholic Church, offered an apology today. He said his words were ``inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message.''
