Separation of Church and Obama: Barack Obama Quits Trinity United Obama_REVChurch of Christ Due to Political Liability … What Took You So Long?

After all this time Obama finally pulls the trigger on distancing himself from his controversial church. Only now does Barack Obama quit the Trinity United Church of Christ. It is a matter of judgement. One that America can not take the chance on.

Barack Obama in his calculated political wisdom has finally quit the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, IL. After 20 years of hear the same type of sermons, witnessing the same type of actions and being a party to the same mind set, Obama has now decided to quit the Church that he has so defended for months.

“We don’t want to have to answer for everything that’s stated in the church,” the Democratic front-runner said. “We also don’t want the church subjected to the scrutiny that a presidential campaign legitimately undergoes.”

Obama said he was resigning “with some sadness.”

“This is not a decision I come to lightly,” he said

The Gateway Pundit has many updates on this “Shocker”. In typical fashion, at a news conference, Obama resigns from church but does not denounce the church that he is leaving for obvious reasons. The church, Reverend Wright and most recently Rev Pfleger and the racist message became too big a liability for Obama’s political ambitions.

OBAMA PRESS CONFERENCE—
Obama says-

“I will not denounce the church. It is not a church worthy of denouncing.”

UPDATE I: Obama quits Chicago church after long controversy

Barack Obama said Saturday he has resigned his 20-year membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago “with some sadness” in the aftermath of inflammatory remarks by his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and more recent fiery remarks at the church by a visiting priest.

However, this controversy is far from over as much as Barack Obama would like it to be. Obama is never going to be able to distance himself from this church until he denounces it for what it was for 20 years. By the same token, if Obama denounces the church he will have alienated blacks across America. Obama, pick your poison.

“I’m not denouncing the church and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church,” he said, adding that the new pastor at Trinity and “the church have been suffering from the attention my campaign has focused on them.”
