Posted on May 31st, 2008 at 5:10 pm by Contributor Archive6:10 pm EDT: Barack and Michelle Obama have just terminated their church membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ, CNN is reporting as breaking news. There is no story posted yet on its web site, but here’s one link that reports the same thing. Offical updates to come…
6:30 pm EDT: Here ya go, official confirmation.
Will this be enough to appease the ugly Americans who still think he is Muslim because his first name ryhmes with Osama and his middle name is Hussein ? And what if he were Muslim? Wasn’t America founded for freedom of religion?

No it won’t because he resigned his church membership 20 years too late. This will still haunt him in the general because it’s not what the man in the pulpit says but why he sat by and accepted it for 20 years.
It calls into question Obama’s character. Just how much of what the Reverend said does he really believe in? If, as he says, he doesn’t abide by those beliefs then why stick around? His continued assertions that he never heard or heard about these outrageous statements makes me think he feels you are an idiot or he slept in the pews each Sunday.
So which is it? Are we all idiots to him or are Michelle and Barack poor Christians?
Troy. From what I have seen of Trinity I find it hard to believe he was sleeping in the pews, unless he was on a bottle of Ambien during those services. I want to see a wide shot angle of the services, I have never seen “the wave” break out during church before.
His latest move exposes something we all know about him, he is a wimp. Now Billary is going to force herself on his ticket, wimp. His wife dictates where he goes to church, wimp.
What good judgement Barry, only 20 years to figure out your spiritual leaders are LOONS. How many times was Barry one of those “church goers” that fell down laughing and screaming at anti-white anti-American rants?
Hey Barry, let me give you some more information you might need to process. Your Iran policy is a joke, your withdrawl from Iraq is bad for America, your wife is an American-Hating radical, tax increases during a slow economic period is a bad idea, lapel pins are good, God and guns are not things people “cling” to, and…your jump shot SUCKS.
Could the Dems have elected a worse General Election candidate?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Obama…the gift that keeps on giving.
I’ll give him credit. It should not be an easy thing to leave your church of 20 years.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep a straight face on that one either. It’s simple politics. That association has become more liability than asset. It is unfortunate, however, that a family’s church membership has been determined by political expediency, rather than by true convictions.
I agree with Troy: It’s 20 years too late. This is all for political purposes….because of all the heat and controversy this church has created for Obama’s candidacy; as if to demonstrate that he actually has character.
How does one sit in the pews for two decades and not be effected by this animosity and venom?
Like the words of a song “It’a too late, baby”. He should have dropped out long ago. I think he must be running for political office or soemthing!!
Wake up Amrica, don’t be fooled by all this nonsense. He knew what was going on in his church. He also gave ove $10,000 in donations to his church. What a hypocrit.
McCain 2008!!!!!!
Having called for him to leave the church, I can’t very well call it political posturing. It definitely was the right thing to do. I still wonder though, why it took him 20 years to leave this church. I want to try and give him the benefit of the doubt, but it seems at best he was only attending this church for political gain. I don’t know how to react to this, I certainly think it was positive; but the issue of why he attended this church for 20 years still looms large.
I sure hope we see campaign spots with these outrageous “ministers” on TV this fall. Not from McCain, of course, but outside groups. This is a judgment issue, and Obama is proving he doesn’t have the judgment to run a country. Pure and simple.
Since when has any one ever given credence to what a church leader says from the pulpit? Out of the thousands of sermons that this man has preached, and dozens of others, the “venom” that he spat is the only thing noted. I am sure that he did not spend Sunday after Sunday encouraging families to stay together and exhorting this body to feed the poor. I am sure, like Jerry Falwell and Rod Parsley (who McCain was forced to denounce), he did not spend years of his life “fighting evil” and working for good. And why, again, does anyone care now? I thought this country worked hard to keep the church and the state as separates.
If we do, suddenly, care so much as to what a preacher says…perhaps we should inspect the gatherings of Mitt Romney’s circle of believers and the dozens of churches that other politicians sit in. What about Huckabee and his years of speaking from the pulpit? Is it a necessity now, for the majority to be of like-minded religious beliefs? Really? If you’ve ever been to church- you know that you will never agree with everything that is spoken. On any given Sunday, you will hear a bit of something that just may not sit right. Give me a break. Anyone who forces politicians to denounce or withdraw membership from a church- has never been to one. This is ridiculous.
