You know I a, thinking that Obama needs to stay far away from these darn reverends–they are not helping!

Obama resigned from Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ during the primaries after a videotape of his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., hit the Internet. On the tape, Wright accused the U.S. government of creating AIDS and is seen shouting “God damn America” during a sermon.

In May, Roman Catholic priest the Rev. Michael Pfleger mocked Obama’s then Democratic rival Sen. Hillary Clinton during a guest sermon at Trinity United. Pfleger, who is white, pretended he was Clinton crying over “a black man stealing my show.” He later apologized.

Barack Obama’s campaign tried yet again to contain a political storm kicked up by a vocal Chicago supporter as the Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized for crude comments picked up by a live microphone about the Democratic presidential candidate.

Jackson said the “hurtful and wrong” comments came in response to a question from a fellow guest during a break from taping “Fox & Friends” on Sunday. The guest asked about speeches on morality Obama has given at black churches.

Jackson said at a news conference Wednesday that he had said Obama’s speeches can come off as speaking down to black people and that there were other important issues to be addressed in the community, such as unemployment, the mortgage crisis and the number of blacks in prison.

To me it is that this new type black candidate is stealing his thunder and he is a bit jealous.  The same with Clinton.  These “old school” politicians are losing their footing in the party.  Yes, they will retain some influence within the party but there is a new alpha male.
