Barack Obama said today:
that he is a devout Christian who prays to Jesus every night. He told audience members they would feel right at home at his church in Chicago.I usually shy away from discussing other people's faith. But since Obama is injecting his church into the campaign, it's fair to recall this New York Times article about Obama's church and its pastor, Jeremiah Wright:
On the Sunday after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mr. Wright said the attacks were a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later he wrote that the attacks had proved that "people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West went on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."And then there's Wright's visit to Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi, in the day when Libya was one of the world's main sponsors of terrorism.
Feel "right at home" yet?
