I was reading that there is a movement afoot to tie Barack Obama with Jeremiah Wright. Whether you like Wright or not, he was a very successful and excellent pastor in the United Church of Christ for a long time. Flawed? Of course, but every pastor is. Evil? Not at all, but in his last years he was perceived as becoming increasingly angry and increasingly ‘radical.’ It was, in so many ways, very sad to see his sort of self-destruct.
Having said all this, we will have one candidate who is Mormon and one candidate who went to a church many people didn’t approve of. I’d really like to see this campaign not be about their religious faith. Surely there are other issues to grapple with!!!
