I can't reply anymore, I can understand political differences but I can neverjustfy Obama and Wright.
Dad, could you pull your cub scouts together and say lets see some footage inside of the church our president attended for 20 years? How would you feel doing that? Proud of our president? Can you be proud of Obama based on what saw with Wright?What message does that send to the future of America?

Isn't it pretty common for children to be baptised by the minister of their church?
And as for choice, it seems clear that Obama
choose that church because it was the focal point of the community he was trying to help. It was about the people, not the man. I haven't heard a single thing, ever, that leads me to believe Obama was attracted to the church because of Wright's more out there views, or that he's been influenced in any way by Wright's more out there views.
From what I've heard from Wright as a Christian spiritual leader, he sounds no more radical than the Pope. He just uses a more acidic style to make his point.
Yes, Wright holds some very wierd opinions but that is his right. To attend a sermon where he might express them, doesn't mean you're influenced by or endorsing them. Cut through the sound bites and I'd bet that the vast majority of Wright's preaching isn't that odd at all.
