Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home
Controversial pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright is getting a luxurious retirement home. The Tinley Park Southtown Star reports that Barack Obama's former pastor will have a four-bedroom home in Tinley Park, Illinois, a southern Chicago suburb. Wright's home, which is being paid for by his church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, will include an elevator, butler's pantry, exercise room, a master bedroom with a whirlpool and a spare room for a future theater or swimming pool. The mansion is estimated to cost $1 million.Wright was recently in the news for his controversial polemics against U.S. foreign policy and Obama's Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton. He has retired from preaching and it is the policy of the church to provide housing for retiring clergy although I'd guess that usually the lodging isn't quite so lavish.

This old fashioned 1960's rhetoric is a story that he keeps his own people living in. And while he, and others like him, are constantly beating them over the head with it, a black man is very close to becoming president. If the fat old white guy conspiracy is true, how is this possible. Well he's got so much invested in this lie that he couldn’t possible change his tune now could he. What a hypocrite!

Looks like America has been quite good to Rev. Wright. He received a first rate education. Had a steady income. Enough food to eat and now a million dollar roof over his head - a lot more than many black and white Americans ever had! So, what's wrong with America?

I hope the people living in that development in Tenley Park vehemently protest the presence of this CRACKPOT Wright in their neighborhood! He should be given a little cottage on the church's grounds.
