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."

I want to know more about Obama's phone company - I bet they were hand-in-hand with the Bushies on spying on innocent Americans. We should also inquire on Obama's diet and try to find out WHO profits from his gas purchases - I bet that he is financing terrorism by buying gas that came from terroristic oil fields.
Perhaps on a different thread. This one is limited to Obama's racist pastor.
You mean ole VAST was tryin to spam this good thread that contains the truth???? Why would anyone want to hide the truth? Difficult for me to believe that the O'Piles would resort to such tactics. Who knows where this may lead. You bet that Obummer wont be takin his woman to the "counselor".... hehehehehehehehe
If I had a woman like that shrew Obama has I would take her and see what he would charge to take her off my hands.

Agreed... The "white guilters" here on 4um become more strident every day. When Obummer does his swan dive and becomes Hillarys lackey, they will all join in lockstep voting FOR Obama, with Hillary a throw in. There has to be some hypocrisy there somewhere, surely there is no humor.
