This time, the words were not from his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., but rather from a Catholic priest who was mocking Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
During a guest appearance last Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ, the Rev. Michael Pfleger delivered a blistering critique of Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy. Mr. Pfleger, a wellknown activist Chicago priest and a friend of Mr. Obama, said Mrs. Clinton felt entitled to the presidency and was stunned by “a black man stealing my show.”
The remarks from Mr. Pfleger first appeared on several blogs in Chicago on Thursday, accompanied by a You Tube
“When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on – I really don’t believe it was put on,” Mr. Pfleger said. “I really believe that she just always thought this is mine. I’m Bill’s wife, I’m white and this is mine. I just gotta get up and step into the plate. And then, out of nowhere, came ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.’ And she said, ‘Oh, damn. Where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show.”
In his next breath, Mr. Pfleger wipes his face and mocks Mrs. Clinton’s tears, saying: “She wasn’t the only one crying. There was a whole lot of white people crying.”
Before he stepped away from the pulpit of Mr. Obama’s church that has been under intense scrutiny, he added: “I’m sorry. I don’t want to get you in any more trouble.”
