Trinity United Church of Christ is building Barack Obama's controversial former pastor a million-dollar Tinley Park home complete with an elevator, whirlpool, butler's pantry, circular driveway and four-car garage, building plans show.
The four-bedroom home being built for the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is in the Odyssey Club neighborhood, which boasts some of Tinley Park's largest homes and a mix of town homes. It backs up to the Odyssey Country Club and golf course.

I guess he wants to retire to a safe neighborhood.
Other stories list the price of the house as up to $1.6 million.

Guess the Black neighborhoods were ‘tooo ghetto “.
Wish I could play the Race Card into a multi million dollar sweetheart deal like that...but then, I;m just a typical white person.

I guess Rev. Wright was the kind of preacher who took the collection plate money, tossed it in the air and said “what ever God catches is his, what ever falls to the ground is mine...”

“Hate America” must be a hot selling commodity. Don't want to sound bigoted here but "those people" make me sick to my stomach.

Barak Obama said on “the View” that his church was just like any other United Church. If that were true, why isn’t Rev. Wrights pension the same as any other united Church ministers?
I can only guess that his salary while he was preaching wasn’t in keeping with the United Churches policies either.

Rather ugly architectural design if you ask me.
