So is Wilton an old friend of Obama’s from Chicago? I’d bet money he is. At least he is still alive, unlike the choir boy from Obama’s church.

And what did Obama, the PEACE prize winner , the unifier, the "no- blue states and/or red-states" guy do?

First chance he gets he pours gasoline on race relations to ignite the greatest division this country has seen for 50 years.....and burning once again thanks to the democrat controlled ANTIFA terrorists...What a fraud....

But hey, at least we don't have to talk about the failed democrat spying on trump, the democrat Russia collusion hoax fail, the democrat phony SHAMPEACHMENT or even that " EPSTEIN Did not kill himself, Bill"

The Catholic Roots of Obama’s Activism

To expand congregations as well as the reach of his organizing program, Mr. Obama went to Holy Ghost Catholic Church in South Holland, Ill., to ask Wilton D. Gregory, an African-American bishop and a rising star in the hierarchy, for a grant for operating costs. Archbishop Gregory, who now leads the Archdiocese of Atlanta, recalled Mr. Obama as a persuasive man who “wanted to engage the people of the neighborhood.” He recommended that Cardinal Bernardin release the funds.
