Too Much Too Little Too Late.....

Obama quits Chicago church after long controversy

Barack Obama has resigned his 20 year membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago in the aftermath of inflammatory remarks by his longtime pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and more recent fiery remarks at the church by another minister.

It's a few years too late for this to help him. He had to be pried shamed out of TUCC with the Jaws of Life weight of public opinion instead of doing it of his own volition, despite twenty years of opportunity, so he'll continue to carry that albatross for the entire campaign.

More from Gateway Pundit, complete with more backstory and requisite snark. See also PajamasMedia for additional linkages.

UPDATE: Synchronistic imagery in Jules Crittenden's comment section....

“Ah! Well a-day! What evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the albatross
About my neck was hung.”
--S.C. Taylor

Obama is shocked...shocked

Obama is shocked...shocked that these terrible things were being said in his church....and, and, and, those people...they looked like they were enjoying it all....

Why, he had no idea that there were those kinds of things being felt, and spoken, there. After all, he only attended the church briefly...for 20 years, was married there, and, worst of all, exposed his young children to this vile hatred.....

What a pusillanimous, palavering, popinjay!!!

He knew darn well what the church's dogma was. He knew darn well what revs. Wright and Moss and Phleger were all about. Not only was it politically expedient for him to belong to trinity; it's warped, Marxist, form of Christianity, black liberation theology, conformed well to his red diaper baby upbringing as well as appealing to the ideals inculcated through his ultra left wing academic experience.

Oddly enough, this episode exposes Obama for the hypocritical, usurpacious, fair weathered friend type of individual he really is. His proclamation of being a new kind of politician, practicing a whole new brand of politics, is pure poppycock!

The only thing remotely revolutionary about his campaign, besides the Marxist idealism exhibit by his Che Guevara loving campaign workers, is his campaign's brilliant use of the internet to produce at times what appear to be an Orwellian mental synergy, and an ominous cult of personality reminiscent of the former Soviet Union. Otherwise, it is the traditional, opportunistic politics of useful friendships, sordid cloakroom dealings, and vote purchasing constituent pay-offs.

Most of the mainstream media will herald this as a "bold" move that will afford Obama a "fresh" start, unencumbered by any stigma of radical racist associations. In the usual fashion, they will declare that "the debate is over" and "the matter is closed". Any attempt to question him about his 20 years there will be dismissed as "dwelling on the past" or the perfunctory "distraction from the important issues".

What's really important is that if the tables were turned, and Maverick had sat idly by listening to the pontifications of the grand poo-bah of the KKK, or some other white supremacist, he would have been TOAST long ago. Not only do the mainstream media tolerate reverse racism, most outlets are actively engaged in trying to get Obama elected. I wonder if they really believe in him, or are they emulating the head of the Illinois state legislature; the man who decided he would play king maker and get Obama elected to the US senate.

Exit question; are the mainstream media wanna-be king makers or simply useful idiots; I?ll let you decide.............
