As far as the lot that Obama bought, Rezko made money on the sale. Obama paid fair market price for the lot. It may be that Rezko was trying to do Obama a favor, but there's nothing underhanded in this transaction.

As far as Wright and the accusations of "black liberation theology", I am not aware that the movement has any life left in. It had its purpose and its time.

Do you really think that Obama, who was raised by whites, could possibly adopt those ideas as his own?

I have stated before that I am not shocked by the idea that God damned America. I don't think that he blessed us when he looked down and saw lynchings and Jim Crow. I don't think that he blessed us when we handed out smallpox laden blankets to Native Americans, I hope we have been forgiven.

I see no problem in Obama having been exposed to ideas that differ from mainstream thinking nor different cultures.
