Once again finding himself on brink of another controversy due to a periest’s sermon, Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday distanced himself from the controversial sermon given at his Chicago church, saying that he was "deeply disappointed" to hear the sermon that mocked Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, Chicago activist priest and Obama supporter, last Sunday sermonized that Clinton cried in January before the New Hampshire primary because she felt "entitled" to the Democratic nomination, but a "black man (Obama) stole her show."

At Trinity United Church of Christ, Pfleger said, "She just always thought that, 'This is mine. I'm Bill's wife. I'm white.' ... And then, out of nowhere, came 'Hey, I'm Barack Obama." And she said, 'Oh damn, where did you come from? I'm white. I'm entitled. There's a black man stealing my show.” Then he parodized Clinton, sobbing and wiping his face with a handkerchief. He said, "She wasn't the only one crying. There was a whole lot of white people crying."

Denouncing the priest’s sermon, Obama said, "As I have traveled this country, I've been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that that unites us. That is why I am 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."

Meanwhile, Pfleger also apologized Thursday for the sermon that he gave last Sunday. Pfleger, the white pastor of the predominantly black Saint Sabina Roman Catholic Church on the city's Southwest side, said Thursday he regretted his choice of words. He said, "These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them.”

In a statement on sermon, Clinton campaign said, "Divisive and hateful language like that is totally counterproductive in our efforts to bring our party together and have no place at the pulpit or in our politics."
