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.

Since the church holds the title, it will not go on the tax rolls!

I was looking at your web page, at your section on green collar jobs. Green collar jobs have been a priority in WA State for a few years. The problem is that the tech schools require two years of algebra for admittance. The idea is to train college qualified students to do manual labor jobs because the private industry jobs just aren’t available and an over educated workforce is not a happy workforce.

".....so he can better understand the problems a poor black man experiences?"

I am not sure he is a "True Black Man" He is even lighter than Obama.

Also noted on that show that when he was asked about Wright he said something to the effect that if he’d heard “those” comments he would have felt uncomfortable staying there.

That statement hardly equates to leaving the church..

I suppose it depends on state laws, but I can tell you that even an adjacent piece of property owned by a church is not automatically tax exempt, unless it is used for religious purposes. Now, I suppose he could do a home service of some sort once in a while, so who knows.

Muslims are taking over Tinley Park to an alarming extent. It will be ripe pickings for the Reverend Wrong in several ways, I'm sure.

I'm pinging someone who knows this southwestern Chicago suburb very well.

Don't go away, hah.

Reverend Wright moves to Whiteyville. I love it!

Jeremiah Wright even looks like a white person, so he’ll fit right in.

Don't want to sound bigoted here but

that's their intention/their defense against truth being spoken - put a wall around the lies and anyone who enters that wall or tries to expose the lies is given a label - bigoted. It's the same w/homosexuality, etc. Protect the sin with man made laws.

I hope his new neighbors aren’t garlic nosers, Jews or other typical white persons.

there is also a TEN MILLION dollar extra fund in that beyond the price of the house for “furniture etc.”

The Kingfish hit it big.

Rev J Wright’s mother was the vice-principal (discipline officer) for the most academic girls’ public high school in Philly. His father was a pastor, and he went to the male equivalent of the school where his mother taught. Both were majority white schools. They lived in the area called Germantown - large homes and tree-lined streets.

His career and now Obama’s are the choice to be race hustlers.

I’m sure that BO and HRC believe that - as with everything else - more FedGov bucks will “fix” it.

What Obama believes in is class envy and redistribution of wealth. The collapse of the capital markets would suit him just fine. Then the government would have to move in and restructure everything without the CEOs and top management. Obama would like to take over the Spitzer jihad against Wall Street giants.

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

If by "those people" you mean hypocritical haters who take from the poor (in God's name) and build mansions on this earth, you're not a bigot - you're speaking the truth.

If by "those people" you mean well educated, privileged black ministers who teach hatred because it sells, you would not be a bigot, you'd be speaking the truth.
