Rev. Wright on Obamas: Church Is Not Their Thing By Fred Lucas May 29, 2012
(CNSNews.com) In speaking about Barack and Michelle Obama, their longtime pastor, the Rev. Jermiah Wright said, Church is not their thing. It never was their thing.
President Obama and the first lady were married by Rev. Wright, and their two daughters, Sasha and Malia, were baptized by the controversial pastor. As head of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill., Wright sometimes delivered sermons critical of U.S. foreign policy and asked whether God should bless or damn America. (Rev. Wright is now pastor emeritus of the church.)
The issue of the relationship between Rev. Wright and Barack Obama recently resurfaced because of a new Obama biograpny, The Amateur, by former New York Times Magazine Editor Edward Klein. He conducted a nearly three-hour interview with Rev. Wright for the book. The audio of that interview was released by Kleins publicist.
During the interview, Rev. Wright talked about the first couples time in his church, and rejected the premise that they attended because Michelle Obama wanted to attend.
Well, people that go to church, the brides normally have their wedding at their church, which is why I think Michelle joined, Wright told Klein. Now thats been my sneaking suspicion because she didnt grow up in the church. Where have you heard or read about her family raising her in the church?

There are no churches on the Tundra where Mooschele was born and raised. Eating lichens really turned her into a sourpuss.
And her mother dressed her funny!
He wants everything state owned, including your life - he's at war with God.
What happened to the rumor Wright got paid $150K in 2008 to shut up?
That was pretty hot a week or so ago. Then it kinda faded away.
Waiting for someone to ask him....or her...”just what is their thing?”
Waiting............
Still waiting.......
Chicago bath houses are Barry’s THING.
