globalEyeNews Video Report: Obama Resigns Trinity Church
Obama Quits Trinity Church After Visiting Pastor Mocks Hillary from Pulpit Teary Ridicule Alleges Hillary Displays "White Entitlement" Thinking Visiting Rev. Michael Pfleger Re-Ignites Jeremiah Wright Controversy for Disappointed Obama
Barack Obama has resigned his church membership amidst new controversy concerning politics and the pulpit at the Trinity United Church of Christ. Rev. Michael Pfleger, a visiting Catholic priest and long time Obama associate mocked Obama's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in a raucous display of ridicule, alleging Clinton embraces "white entitlement" thinking when it comes to the presidency.
Pfleger, a Catholic priest at St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church on Chicago's Southwest side, as well as, a long time friend of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has since issued an apology for his damaging political remarks that have ultimately forced Obama into leaving the church he and his family have been a part of for over 20 years.
Obama issued an official statement on Thursday stating that he is "deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause".

globalEyeNews Video Report: MSNBC Keith Olberman on NY Times RNC Domain Game Over fifty '08 candidate domain names either owned by RNC or linked to their servers

The NY Times reported last week that, according to NetNames, the 2008 presidential election has “triggered an avalanche of cybersquatter activity”. According to the Times speculators have registered nearly 2,000 domain names related to presidential candidates as of last week. Those related to Hillary's candidacy made up over half of the registrations, followed by Obama with 635 McCain with 269.
Republicans, who have had a noticeably less than prolific web strategy by comparison, have significantly outplayed the democrats when it comes to domain name hustling. What exponentially raises the domain game stakes is the rich keyword booty that, perhaps, becomes even more valuable once the field is settled.
According to MSNBC, the RNC has a domain vault numbering over 50, most of which are democrat candidate related. According to them, as well, over 20 Obama domain names were purchased by them after his victory in Iowa.

The Silent Congo War: With over 1,000 people continuing to die each day from conflict-related causes, five million have perished in seven years, more than any other conflict since WWII. Perhaps the most unimaginable aspect of all is the widespread use of genocidal rape as an instrument of war by both sides of the conflict.
