Obama's spiritual mentor

By Thomas Lifson

Barack Obama is on the record, in word and deed, that Jeremiah Wright, Jr. is an important man to him. John Perazzo, writing on Front Page Magazine today, documents, in the words of Jeremiah Wright himself, just how radical this very important man is.

This is must reading to understand Obama's real politics.

Should Obama gain the Democratic nomination, Wright's role as the man who shaped Obama -- as attested to by Obama himself -- is certain to become a major point of discussion, at first in the conservative blogosphere and talk radio, but eventually in widespread discussion. It is hard to keep a colorful character like Jeremiah Wright, Jr. under wraps, no matter how desperately Obama and much of the media want to keep him out of discussion.

We have almost nine months after Super Tuesday to examine the political roots of Barack Obama.
