Personally, I am so sick and tired of the kid gloves that MUST be used when discussing Barack Obama. So, before I delve into this specific topic of his relationship with Trinity United Church of Christ, I feel it necessary to explain how I feel about Obama, his campaign, and who he is as opposed to who he portrays himself as:
His name is Barack Hussein Obama. Saying his middle name IS NOT RACIST. I am not insinuating that his middle name makes him a terrorist or a dictator in the making. Actually, his POLICIES and PROPOSALS make him a dictator in the making. And until he needed his name for political purposes, he was known as Barry Obama.
He is more liberal than John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or Hillary Rodham Clinton. That is just scary...
He was born a Muslim, and there is zero public knowledge of him EVER renouncing Islam. According to Islamic law, he is STILL A MUSLIM until he renounces Islam.
Now, after MONTHS of continual reports of drivel emminating from the pulpit of his home church of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, which he and his family have attended for 20 years (his daughters were baptized by the lead pastor, who also officiated his wedding to Michelle Obama), Barack Hussein Obama has announced that he is rescinding his familes' membership. Obama says that in his 20 years at Trinity, he did not know about these sermons, beliefs, afro-centrism, etc.. This is basically akin to stealing a line from former President Bill Clinton ("I didn't inhale...") by saying, "I attended, but I didn't listen." But is it too little too late, and does it really matter at this point?
Note: If you are lost as to the "drivel" at this point, go to YouTube and search for Reverend Wright and/or Pfleger. Watch the videos of these gentlemens' racist tirades.
In short, YES it is too little too late, and NO it does not matter at this point. Ultimately, Obama's membership in this church can only be construed in one of two ways;
Option #1
Obama knew what was going on, and either believed in most if not all of it, or was willing to ignore it. Regardless, this makes him unfit for the office of president!
Option #2
He never agreed with the statements and/or beliefs of the church and its' leadership, and ignored them as he needed this chuch and the connections that came with it in order to attain "black cred" in Chicago. He stuck with Trinity as long as it was politically profitable to him, and is now distancing himself in an attempt to save his campaign heading into the general election. Again, this makes him unfit for the office of president!
No matter how you slice it, Barack Hussein Obama's connection to Trinity United Church of Christ, Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleuger, Tony Rezko, convicted terrorist William Ayers, and many others make him unfit for the office of president.

Obama and his family left Trinity United. But does it matter?
