of priest apologizes for mocking clinton while at obama church

Priest apologizes for mocking Clinton while at Obama church: Rev Michael Pfleger has apologize after he mocked Hillary Clinton during a Sermon held at the Trinity United Church of Christ.

Rev Pleger said,
I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them.
Obama comdemned the comments made by Rev Pleger, who is a Catholic priest at St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church on Chicago's southwest side and who is also a friend of Trinity's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama has since resigned his membership in Trinity Church, saying the Wright and Pfleger controversies had distracted his campaign.

On Sunday, Rev. Michael Pfleger mocked Hillary Clinton Rev. for becoming teary-eyed before the New Hampshire primary in January. Rev Pfleger said during a sermon at the Trinity United Church of Christ,
And then, out of nowhere, came 'Hey, I'm Barack Obama'. And [Clinton] said, 'Oh damn, where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!' "
