( CNN ) -- Sen. Barack Obama said he was `` deeply disappointed '' by a sermon at his church this week that mocked Sen. Hillary Clinton . A video making the rounds on YouTube shows the Rev . Michael Pfleger mocking Clinton for becoming teary-eyed before the New Hampshire primary in January . In the video , Pfleger wipes his eyes with a handkerchief and suggests Clinton wept because she thought that as a white person and the wife of a former president , she was entitled to the presidency . `` And then , out of nowhere , came 'Hey , I 'm Barack Obama , ' `` Pfleger said during a sermon Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago , Illinois . `` And [ Clinton ] said , 'Oh damn , where did you come from ? I 'm white ! I 'm entitled ! There 's a black man stealing my show ! ' `` Watch Pfleger mock Clinton » . The video shows the congregation laughing and cheering . Pfleger is a Catholic priest at St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church on Chicago 's southwest side . He is also a friend of Trinity 's former pastor , the Rev . Jeremiah Wright , from whom Obama distanced himself in April . At the time , Obama said he was `` outraged '' by Wright 's remarks suggesting the U.S. government might be responsible for the spread of AIDS in the black community and equating some American wartime efforts with terrorism . Obama has known Pfleger for more than 20 years . His campaign condemned Pfleger 's comments . `` As I have traveled this country , I 've been impressed not by what divides us , but by all that that unites us , '' Obama said in a statement Thursday . `` That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger 's divisive , backward-looking rhetoric , which does n't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause . '' The Clinton camp also condemned Pfleger 's remarks . `` 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 , '' the Clinton campaign said . `` We are disappointed that Sen. Obama did n't specifically reject Father 's Pfleger 's despicable comments about Sen. Clinton and assume he will . '' Pfleger apologized for his comments Thursday evening . `` I regret the words I chose on Sunday , '' he said in a statement . `` These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama 's life and message , and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them . ''
