This is starting to be a trend. Seems Obama is surprised yet again about the radical views and conduct of another of his long time friends and advisers. In the case of Rev.Wright and Pfleger who were Obama's "Spiritual Advisors". Obama cited Pfleger, along with Wright, as one of his spiritual advisers in a 2004 Chicago Sun-Times story

The relationship between Obama, a one-time community activist on Chicago's South Side, and the outspoken priest at the activist St. Sabina Church has been a long one. As a state senator, Obama secured two grants related to Pfleger's church - one for $100,000 to repair The Ark community center at the church in 2000 and the other for $125,000 for computers at the church's employment resource center. For his part, Pfleger, 59, has donated $1,500 to Obama's campaigns for state office and another $1,500 to his presidential campaign. Aides say Obama has rarely visited St. Sabina, although he cited Pfleger, along with Wright, as one of his spiritual advisers in a 2004 Chicago Sun-Times story. Pfleger helped Obama's Iowa campaign by taking part in a faith forum.
Seems almost everyone else knew this guy was a Radical Crackpot as seen in that new video going around about Hillary. Obama is the only one surprised...And disapointed.

What exactly was their relationship besides sitting on one of Obama's committees up until two weeks ago? Let's ask Pfleger:

In early May, Pfleger posted a letter on the parish Web site calling Obama and Wright "two friends who I respect, admire and have a deep love for." He wrote that neither man should be held accountable for the other's words. "The truth is we need Senator Barack Obama and we need Reverend Jeremiah Wright and, if we are serious about wanting a new America, we cannot afford to throw either one of them under the bus!"

Obama's new America is looking quite frightening.
