   NSString *inputString = @"Thu, 2 Dec 2010 00:28:56 -0500";
   NSDateFormatter *inputFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
   [inputFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"];

   NSDate *inputDate = [inputFormatter dateFromString:inputString];
   NSDateFormatter *outputFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
   [outputFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE. MMM. d, yyyy"];

The format string you showed us before you edited your question was correct. The only thing that was missing was that you need to set the date formatter's locale to English if you want it to recognize English month and day names:

[inputFormatter setLocale:[[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"] autorelease]];
