Goodman Barack

Barack has resigned from his church.

(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama's campaign confirmed Saturday that he has resigned from the Chicago church where controversial sermons by his former pastor and other ministers created repeated political headaches for the Democratic frontrunner.

The resignation comes days after the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a visiting Catholic priest, mocked Obama's Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, for crying during the runup to the New Hampshire primary.

Previously, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, former pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ and Obama's minister for about 20 years, drew unwanted attention for the campaign when videos of his fiery sermons surfaced.

What a man of judgment! Absolutely everybody in America is impressed. In a mere twenty years he's managed to figure out that there's something offensive in being racist.

The interesting thing now is this: Since he has now thrown the entire congregation under the bus (all those cheering Pfleger and Wright and the new pastor, Moss) will there be some in that congregation who will decide to throw Obama under the bus? I would imagine that there could be some testimony that Barack was a'cheer'n bro too.

This stuff is cumulative. One wonders when the Democrat party will have enough sense to throw Barack under the bus? This should encourage Hillary to not accept any compromise on MI and FL delegate seating. She doesn't have to, it keeps her options open not to, right up to the convention. This politically necessary but surprisingly sudden resignation is blood in the water, and blood in the water is encouraging.

Ha! Byron York asks the obvious questions everybody will ask; and then this:

This is an everybody-sees-the-same-blood a-swirling-in-the-waters sort of response.

I sure will be pleased if it's the Democrats who get rid of Obama, rather than leaving it up to Republicans. Anybody who dumps on the Bambi will be a racist. Let the racists all be Democrat.

Note: I first spotted this story on Ace of Spades HQ, posted by Drew. Turns out that Drew himself used to be a Nazi, but he apologizes and doesn't want it held against him because he just didn't know they said "things like that" in an Aryan church. He firmly expects that no American will be so racist as to not accept his apology, and recognize that he is pure in heart.
