102. One would have to be stupid to be a politician and not to know the most powerful church in Chicago
and be familiar with their pastor, a man who received 3 presidential commendations, and was in the recovery room when LBJ had his heart attack.

As someone who's church and pastor has hosted the likes of Bono to Gov. Schwarzenegger, I know precisely that a Former President who got elected by going from Black Church to Black Church, made it a point to know a pastor like Rev. Wright.

Here's more, from one of my earlier posts: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
