I thought I heard that Obama's new pastor has cause some more problems.
Yes. There was a big to-do about it on
Meet the Press Sunday morning. Apparently, his pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, preached a sermon that stated "God damn America" is in the Bible.

No, no, no. Not God bless America. God damn America. That's in the Bible.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
