The Associated Press reports that Barack Obama has resigned his 20 year membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago in the aftermath of inflammatory remarks by his longtime pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and more recent fiery remarks at the church by Father Michael Pfleger.

You would never know from the raucous, positive receptions Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger received that their racist, hateful words were anomalies at the Trinity United Church of Christ.

That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Obama never witnessed such hate speech in the 20 years he was a member of the church.

They must have only conducted such offensive speeches on days he was absent. Yeah, right.

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I’m
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up

Oprah Winfrey was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ from 1984 to 1986, and she continued to attend off and on into the early to the mid-1990s.

She left for good due in part to some of the sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
