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 see that Reverend Wright has his past snooped into & gossiped about in this manner. But he's not even a candidate. mcCain & Clinton are both candidates. Here's some stories that the press could popularize about those 2 if they were of a mind to rather than to slam Obama. Mccain was known as a womanizer early in his life, he cheated tremendously on his wife. then he went to vietnam. When he came back from vietnam the story I heard from friends here in Phoenix, some of whom were personally acquainted with Cindy who married Mccain, was that cindy was at the hotel bar where Mccain spent his first night of freedom in Hawaii back from Vietnam. Mccain went to the hotel bar and immediately walked up to her. He had a one-night stand with her and it turned into a marriage. he never even went back to see his wife. He divorced his wife without even ever going back to her after his vietnam trip. The press could really hammer him, his 1'st wife has told people that Mccain never even came to see her before taking up with cindy. but the game- plan is to slam Obama currently. I'm sure a lot of us remember stories about Hilary clinton. She attended swinger clubs with her husband. She was seen snorting cocaine. She had an affair with Vince Foster. there are stories about her going into lesbian mode sometimes. there are actually people who will say this is true. does the press pay them money to speak on national tv? No, it is the game plan currently to slam Obama. and pursuant to this game-plan of slamming Obama it is fun to slam Wright if that is all that can be done.
all of that about the other two is known and has been posted many times for years. old news. obama is the unknown and the man of the hour...iow, the new news.

You nailed it, Christine: I probably won't vote for Obama. and I certainly won't vote for Hillay or McSwine The Electric Jew does not want Obasma in the White House. Is it a ploy, or do the Zionists behind the curtain fear Obama?
Obummer is USEFUL and EXPENDABLE.
And serves to keep the discussion off the issues.
When one stops to think about that, there are no issues that divide them, none. All are for more war, protect Israel at all costs, more freebies at home, keep herding the sheep.
Bottom line.

Sir Lod... Somewhere today I wrote today that the play books used by all three are written by the same author. Only the wording is changed to fool the unwashed rural hill billy rubes.
