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."

Why? Don't people have the right to support who they wish? Besides, this is the first 'fresh meat' (s)election since when?
www.wherethemoneygoes.com /newSearch.php? SearchString=Obama&Submit=Search+WTMG Barack Obama and the issue of excessive CEO compensation. Description: Compensation. Published: April 14, 2008 This past Saturday, the Associated Press reported that "Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is demanding that company shareholders have a say in how much executives get paid as he pushes his populist message. "Obama said Friday he wants Congress to pass legislation he has sponsored that would require corporations to have a nonbinding vote by shareholders on executive compensation packages. "Under Obama's Senate legislation, shareholders could not veto a compensation package offered to an executive and would not place limits on pay. Rather, they would have a means to publicly express their position." Interesting. In 2005, in addition to her job as a Vice-President of the very profitable not- for-profit University of Chicago Hospitals, his wife Michelle was put on the Board of TreeHouse Foods. There she earned $45,000 for attending 10 board meetings, and she received stock options that showed a paper profit that year of $60,000. One of the things she did for the company was to defend the executive compensation of Sam Reed, the President and CEO of TreeHouse, and the man who put her on the Board. That year he received $26,159,000 in total compensation. To put that into perspective, that year Wal-Mart had 400 times the amount of revenue that TreeHouse Foods did, while their CEO received less than a third of the total compensation, that Sam Reed did. Also in 2005, the President and CEO of not-for-profit The University of Chicago Hospitals received $1,873,795 in total compensation, which was up by more than $600,000 from two years earlier. That same year, Michelle Obama's income as an administrator at the not-for- profit University of Chicago Hospitals nearly tripled to $316,962, from $121,910.
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.
I don't mind people on this forum talking about Obama & wright as they do. but you are 100% correct that the entire Wright controversy is just a side-show that slams Obama and keeps us off the issues. Ron paul talked about eliminating the Federal Reserve. Maybe CNN should have Clinton or Mccain or Obama on and ask them if the US taxpayers should pay the federal reserve 400 billion a year. and ask if a private bank should be allowed to profit from money creation, etc.
Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Robin has pointed out, many times according the her, that these are individual contributions. I asked how to verify and I guess that's a stumper.
If Obama were an R, and this wacky Wright his pastor, you'd be your usual critical self. Your allegiance to Party (god, what a Stalinist word) is showing.
Must be an error there. Ovbummer says he is a child of poverty, lived on food stamps and handouts and now he goes from rags to riches????? Typical American story. He also says he got a free ride for an education, tough life, poor man. Bet he has repaid all the taxes spent on him, right????? Handouts, he knows for sure.
Bottom line.
They're somewhat intelligent; they just have an agenda and there are more than a couple of 'em here.
Quite true. Probably a good idea to find out what sort of fellow is being considered for President.
Yeah, he didn't have two admirals in his family to give him a leg up in life. And he didn't dump his sick wife so that he could marry one with more money .... like McCain did.
.
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.
If you can call it reasoning. This is one of the poorest attempts at a smear of Obama so far this election. It's based on rumor of Rev. Wright's past. I don't think even Fox News is chasing this one.
"To destroy a people you must first sever their roots." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To put that into perspective, that year Wal-Mart had 400 times the amount of revenue that TreeHouse Foods did, while their CEO received less than a third of the total compensation, that Sam Reed did. Issues WILL NOT be discussed.
Would it be politically incorrect to ascribe the title "dark horse" to Obummer ?
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson
Why would they want to do that. They're funded by the same people who run the Fed.
Racist...bigot...how horrible of you.
Yes it would.
Issues WILL NOT be discussed. I'm sorry. Now what? Should I sing a chorus of Nobody Knows the Trouble I've seen?
TA DAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! But, but, but....
Have you read The Revolution by RP?
How many on here do you think really support Obama? I think I have counted less than ten (several fewer than ten actually) who are openly supporting him. Not that I have read all the posts or even all the threads but it doesn't seem like any of the establishment's candidates have many, if any, supporters on here. And I think that is a good thing.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Ten operatives posting incessantly drives away new readers who don't ascribe the the crimminal's choices for us. It thwarts meaningful discussion about how to change the course the crimminals have charted. It's insidious and disruptive.
Ovbummer says he is a child of poverty, lived on food stamps and handouts and now he goes from rags to riches????? Typical American story. He also says he got a free ride for an education, tough life, poor man. Bet he has repaid all the taxes spent on him, right????? Handouts, he knows for sure. I heard he finally paid off his student loans a couple years ago. Someone said, what took him so long. Maybe needed some Benjamins from Meshelle.
No. Isn't he that kook the Obama team is trying to latch onto?
Do you think Obama really has ten supporters on here? I haven't seen that many. Seems to be half that, maybe six or seven, but of course I could be wrong.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. 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.
Cynicom knows better than I.
Someone said, what took him so long. Maybe needed some Benjamins from Meshelle. Are you suggesting he used his influence as a representative of the people to enrich his personal situation?
Counting those that are too timid to stand out in direct sunlight, there are ten or more. Most of whom I named nearly a year ago. When the bell rings, they will fall into lockstep and support and vote for Clinton/Obama...
Well, there are other examples, so I guess...it's possible. People can check out the link and read it with their own eyes.. Heck I didn't know anything about the Chicago machine till a few days ago. It's ugly out there.
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.
Nice find Jethro. The answer of course is, of course not. Sin knows no color lines. Many years ago, before I converted, my pastor (perhaps my all-time favorite one) divorced his wife and married the church secretary. He was/is a fine person but this marked the end of time at that church, and I suppose rightly so. He was an older, easy going, fisherman type fella with a grand sense of humor. A couple of of us guys kiddingly asked him if he had strolled down to an X-rated movie house that had opened in the neighborhood, to which he replied "No I think I'll just wait till they're on TV" .... he was pretty close to right, of course. I miss him.

What really counts is that he supports Israel to the limit. Bush has a red phone hot line to Tel Aviv, rumor has it that Obummer will have a live video cam so his bosses in Israel will know when he is standing at attention.
This O sees nothing funny about adultery.

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.
All of this disgusting stuff went on when millions of voters were toddlers or small children. It may not be news to us but it is most certainly more pertinent than running Wright around the track again.

Precisely. And what these threads do is divert attention for the kinds of issues that's aren't being discussed on msm, LIKE: The arrest this week of an American-born Army engineer on charges that he spied for Israel, has revived the hunt for the "X Committee," the high-level apparatus of Israeli spies and agents-of-influence who worked with Jonathan Pollard, the convicted Israeli spy, who stole vast amounts of U.S. national security secrets during the 1980s, and passed them to Israel. On April 22, Ben- Ami Kadish was arrested at his home in New Jersey, and charged with delivering U.S. nuclear weapon and other military secrets to Israel. www.larouchepac.org/news/...raeli-spy-revives-hunt-x- committee.html
Bush has a red phone hot line to Tel Aviv, rumor has it that Obummer will have a live video cam so his bosses in Israel will know when he is standing at attention. I like the idea of eliminating foreign aid, and let governments stand on their own.
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. OF.. Rush et all are NOT afraid of Obama, their job is to keep the left/right fraud alive. 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.
