Rev Wright In a Houston, Texas church yesterday, and in his sermon Wright seemed to take some of the credit for turning an "ordinary boy" into the "extraordinary" candidate we see today:

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's fiery ex-pastor, re-emerged yesterday with a crude reference about race and sex in the White House.

"This ordinary boy [Obama] just might be the first president in the history of the United States to have a black woman sleeping at 1600 Pennsylvania legally," Wright said, referring to Michelle Obama, in a sermon at the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston.

It was unclear whether Wright was making a reference to prostitution, to old miscegenation laws, or to the history of illicit interracial sex under slavery.

Wright's remarks yesterday were full of praise for Obama - although several times, he referred to Obama as a "boy" who later developed into an extraordinary person, through God's work and, presumably, Wright's guidance.

"The lord turned the ordinary into the extraordinary. Y'all just saw it this past week. It was on national television," Wright said to applause.

"An ordinary black boy (age 27) raised in a single-parent home . (Didn't his Grandparents raise him?). . walked into my office 20 years ago to talk about his dream for a community that concentrated on things that we could achieve in common." 

Of course, that's exactly what we should be concerned about - that Barack Obama is very much a person who has been greatly influenced by the radical anti-American views of Jeremiah Wright and other associates.
