BARACK'S REV. 'STOLE A WIFE' EX-HUBBY: HE COUNSELED US, THEN WED HER By SUSANNAH CAHALAN and VERONICA HINKE 32; FUROR: Fire-breathing Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright (left) reportedly met his wife Ramah (right) after he counseled her and then-husband Delmer Reed in 1983. The Reeds divorced soon after the sessions. 32;32;32; 32;32;32;32;32;32; 32; May 4, 2008 -- The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's loose cannon of a spiritual adviser, stole the wife of a parishioner - after the man sought Wright's help in saving his troubled marriage, the former husband told friends. Delmer Reed, 59, confided to pals that he believed the minister moved in on his wife while Wright was counseling the couple at his Chicago church in the early 1980s, The Post has learned. "That's exactly how he said it," Reed's divorce lawyer, Roosevelt Thomas, told The Post. "It looks like Delmer might have been right," he said, because after Delmer and Ramah Reed were divorced, she got remarried - to Wright. "Either that or this was the biggest coincidence in the world." Asked about the relationship between Wright and his ex-wife, Reed told The Post, "Oh, the things I could tell you." Initially, he didn't believe the rumors. "People were telling me that my extremely attractive wife was seen with the pastor," Reed said. "But I didn't believe it. I thought, 'So what?' " Was he wrong in the end? "Well, yeah," he said. Asked if Wright broke up his marriage, Reed laughed, then said, "I told my kids I wouldn't say anything to hurt their stepfather, so I'm not saying anything." But he said he's been hounded by the press and "offered money" to tell his story. A spokesman for the Wright family flatly denied the allegation yesterday. "This story has no merit whatsoever and is not based on facts," said George Lofton. "They had problems throughout the course of their turbulent marriage, and the couple never received marriage counseling from Rev. Wright or anyone else." But Reed, a former investigator for the Illinois secretary of state, told The Post he and his ex-wife went to Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ for counseling when their marriage hit the skids over his demanding work schedule. "I spoke with [Wright] four times over a few months," Reed said in an interview at his upscale home in Lemont, Ill. "Her father asked me to go to counseling. We thought we'd be together forever. I decided to try to work this out." Asked if he's forgiven the pastor, Reed nodded. "I let it go," he said. "I don't want my kids to hear anything negative about their stepfather."

Interesting development. But what does this have to do with Obamas qualifications to be president? McInsand hangs out with a warmonger mass murderer named Bush. Hillary voted to support Bushes insane war. So in my opinion. Obama is at least a little bit better than the Hilderbeast and that insane guy.
McInsand hangs out with a warmonger mass murderer named Bush. Hillary voted to support Bushes insane war. Obama supports a Global Tax that subsidize Genocidal Governments like Mugabe's. How is that better? He votes yes for war funding. He fought a ban on partial birth abortion. And there is the issue of patient dumping.. but, he is somehow a BETTER cONdidate, and I just don't see it. He is as bad, as the other two.. and the little gem of 'getting out of Iraq', is certainly in line with what most Americans and the rest of the world want, but he speaks with forked tongue with respect to redeploying forces and adding to them. He has not repudiated the First Strike policy. So.. theres more, but that off the top of my head.
Im votin Ventura, Baldwin or maybe Barr. It still doesn't negate my opinion that Obama is slightly better then Hillary or McCain. That doesn't mean he is good. And if Hannity and Rush are so afraid of him. Then there is a 1 percent chance that I just may vote for him in the general. We are screwed regardless. Maybe Obama would be a more interesting turn of events. Maybe not. But like I said we are screwed anyways.

People are catching on the one-party rule, AND for whom, and these hucksters serve the same master. And we see there are still people that CAN NOT LET GO of that. They are perfectly programmed bots, when push comes to shove. When pointing out the evil deeds of these candidates, IMO, all people should reject them ALL. We are nothing but expendable trash to them. And you are right, we're hosed, but FCOL, don't vote to give them more hose.
