Obama leaves his church at the right time

Today Barack Obama resigned from Trinity United Church.  This move comes on the news of a Catholic priest using that church's new national spotlight to make controversial comments abou the democratic nomination.  

Many will ask why Obama did not leave several months ago.  I think that at the time, he saw that Rev. Wright was stepping down and hoped that the church would continue with its humanitarian mission and stop being a pulpit for people to speak ill of the country.  Instead it seems that the opposite happened and that the church was using its new found recognition to attract more controversial figures.

When you have a succession of people at any organization you belong to say things that you deeply disagree with, there comes a time when you must leave.  Today was that day for Barack Obama and it was the right decision at the right time.
