Obama Now Says He "Might" Have Left His Church!

The Politico is reporting that Barack Obama is now publicly claiming that he "might" have left his church, Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, if his friend Reverend Jeremiah Wright had not retired.

In appearance taped for airing this morning on "The View," Senator Obama makes news by saying he might have left Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ if the Rev. Jeremiah Wright had not retired.

In a clip posted by ABC, Obama says: 'Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country -- for all its flaws -- then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church."

In Obama's speech in Philadelphia last week, he said: "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community."

Good grief, it was only two weeks ago that Obama saw nothing wrong with his association with Wright and his well-known but unreported-in-the-mainstream-media views - even going as far as to claim that he had never heard anything offensive. Obama shifted his position last week, when he claimed that he had, in fact, heard some things that 'troubled' him. Now he expects us to believe that he was considering leaving his church because of those things that he initially claimed he never heard? Talk about a full 180°turn!

Obama has turned from political messiah to regular old politico rather quickly, don't you think?
