You're such a DNC parrot, Kenneth...

Pfleger, a longtime friend of Wright's and Obama's, could not be reached Friday for comment.

"I regret the words I chose Sunday," Pfleger said in a statement released by his church, St. Sabina. "These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them."

The Obama campaign said Pfleger stepped down several weeks ago from the campaign's Catholic Advisory Council.

In a Tribune story a year ago, Obama defended special budget earmarks for his district while he was a state legislator, including ones that went to programs associated with Pfleger's church.

Pfleger gave Obama's campaigns $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced at least $100,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.

In that story, Pfleger said he made those donations personally, not on behalf of the church or to win grants.
