CNN is reporting this afternoon that Sen. Barack Obama is leaving Trinity United Church of Christ, his longtime religious home on Chicago's South Side and a place that has triggered repeated controversies during his presidential bid.
Obama press aides could not immediately be reached to confirm the report.
The latest controversy erupted this past week when an Internet video emerged from an appearance at the church last weekend by the Rev. Michael Pfleger.

Smart move. I can just see him in the debate: “Look...I have left the church. What else would you have me do?”

A day late and about $20,000 dollars a year short, Barry. You approved of that den of iniquity for 20 years, were married there, baptized your girls there, were mentored there, etc.. TOO LATE!

A day late and a dollar short. You can't wash the ick that was spewed their off you. The 527's will have a field day with it and the fact he has no judgment.

If he can’t stand up to his pastor how will he stand up to those terrorist dictators (Iran, N.Korea, England (sarc) ...ect)

This is a very good move for Obama, as he staves off the muslim view of him being an Apostate. But, if he should not join another church, or the apostate thing will be on again.

Yeah. This guy always does the moral thing just when it happens to be in his political interest.
