Obama resigned by letter to the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where a reverend accused Hillary Clinton this week of acting "entitled" to the presidency because she is white. Last month, Obama denounced Trinity's Rev. Jeremiah Wright for his heated racial sermons.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28901/obama-quits-trinity-church.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2008 17:59:14 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/88909/voters-reject-ugly-attacks-embrace-obama.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Voters Reject Ugly Attacks, Embrace Obama</title><description>Why did Barack Obama have such a strong night? Let’s look at what the corporate news media has been saying over and over for the last two weeks: They’ve been pushing the story about Barack Obama’s former retired reverend again, hour after hour, day after day - as if it was news.Many talking heads said that Senator Obama was done for. That was a rather self-serving declaration, if you think about it. The idea was that TV shows can make or break Barack Obama, just by babbling on about Jeremiah Wright for months on end.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/88909/voters-reject-ugly-attacks-embrace-obama.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 15:59:53 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/26713/indiana-nc-voters-rate-economy-no-1-issue.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Indiana, NC Voters Rate Economy No. 1 Issue</title><description>In exit polling in both Indiana and North Carolina today, voters overwhelmingly said the economy was the No. 1 issue influencing their decision in the presidential primary. In Indiana, 65% said the economy was most important, compared to 60% in North Carolina. Asked if the recession had affected their lives, 89% in Indiana said yes, as did 81% in North Carolina, MSNBC reports.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/26713/indiana-nc-voters-rate-economy-no-1-issue.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 23:54:34 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/26584/about-face-on-wright-no-way-to-start-a-dialogue.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>About-Face on Wright 'No Way to Start a Dialogue'</title><description>Coming together “isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” Gregory Rodriguez writes in the  LA Times , and Barack Obama's attempt to start a national dialogue on race was foiled by an unlikely actor: Barack Obama. Jeremiah Wright  "didn't really say anything new last week," Rodriguez argues.

His lead over Hillary Clinton has increased from 8 points to 12 points—50% to 38%—among Democratic primary voters, who also approve of how he handled the flap over comments by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, 68% to 22%. There's still some negative residue, however.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/26536/barack-bounces-back-from-pastor-flap.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 23:54:34 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/26509/hillarys-superdelegate-hunter-holds-firm.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Hillary's Superdelegate Hunter Holds Firm</title><description>You can thank or blame one Democrat for the rise of superdelegates and demise of the party's winner-take-all primaries—but strategist Harold Ickes, who negotiated the primary system 20 years ago, is likely too busy to hear you. He's calling up superdelegates for Hillary Clinton, and using such a nasty tongue that  Time  couldn't print what it overheard.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/26509/hillarys-superdelegate-hunter-holds-firm.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 23:54:56 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/26504/wright-is-a-wife-snatcher-ex-parishioner.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Wright Is a Wife-Snatcher: Ex-Parishioner</title><description>Barack Obama's controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright was making passes at a parishioner's wife when he was supposed to be giving the couple marriage counseling, the  New York Post  reports. "People were telling me that my extremely attractive wife was seen with the pastor," said Delmer Reed, who says he sought help at Trinity.

Wright</title><description>Like Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey attended Jeremiah Wright's church but ultimately gave up on it,  Newsweek  reports. She went for nearly a decade, starting in 1984, and wasn't surprised by his angry sermons. But "Oprah is a businesswoman, first and foremost," a friend said. "She's always been aware that her audience is very mainstream, and doing anything to offend them just wouldn't be smart."</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/26495/oprah-also-turned-on-rev-wright.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2008 9:34:17 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/26503/obama-clinton-spar-on-iran-gas.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Obama, Clinton Spar on Iran, Gas</title><description>Obama likened Hillary's stance on Iran to George Bush's "cowboy diplomacy" on  Meet the Press  today, while Clinton took to ABC to defend the gas tax and told voters mired in the Jeremiah Wright controversy "We should move on." Tim Russert ignored her advice, however, and devoted his first 18 minutes to the pastor, reports the  New York Times . “Obviously, it’s distracted us,” Obama admitted.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/26503/obama-clinton-spar-on-iran-gas.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 23:54:34 CDT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
