A two-week FOX News investigation, however, has uncovered where Wright will be spending a good deal of his time in retirement, and it is a far cry from the impoverished Chicago streets where the preacher led his ministry for 36 years.FOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.
While it is not uncommon for an accomplished clergyman to live in luxury, Wright's retirement residence is raising some questions.
Not a bad deal, Pastor! Will Obama still reserve his Wright house basement for his spiritual mentor? haha.
I've lurking around a figure skating forum for a while where fans talk about figure skating activities including the latest world championships. There's a section where some folks talk about politics as well. Here's what to expect from a former Edwards supporter if Obama is the man. It's laughable to hear those DC elites' 'analysis' on the effect of Obama's 'brilliant' speech. BTW, these figure skating fans do not read mydd or dailykos. haha.

I decided early on in this campaign that I didn't want to get involved in discussion, campaigning, registration, activism, or any other part of my lifelong involvement in the Democratic party. The last presidential election just about did me and my husband "in - emotionally, financially and even physically." And I'm sticking to my guns....up to this point. I do want to say that if the only choices I have on election day are Obama vs McCain - I won't vote - for the first time in my life.Our country is coming down around our ears.... in every way that matters.... and you all know it, feel it, too. I'm just very simplistic about it. I won't vote for McCain because of his support for continuing the war. And I won't vote for Obama, because all I have seen so far is a wind up toy babbling "change" ad infinitum. Still, until I listened to Obama's speech this morning, I would have voted for him on a party ticket - but after seeing the tapes of his pastor's excesses, and watching him walk a thin line of issue avoidance, I think he is incapable of producing any change in the executive office, and certainly will be more divisive than unifying. We have suffered - SUFFERED! - as a country and as individuals through an 8 year puppet presidency, with people like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and others dangling Bush from their strings. For me, Obama had his moment to denounce not only the words of pastor, but his teachings as well. For me, he needed to sever that connection clean and final - and he wouldn't. Any man who is in the pocket of his preacher, even when that man is exposed as a hatemonger, is not only undesirable as a candidate, he is unprepared and ill-equipped to lead our country in these frightening times. If ever there was a time when we didn't have the luxury of putting an amateur in the White House, its now. Its time to wake-up.
