What drew him to a church that many find questionable

To say that the church is questionable is like saying that katrina was a summer shower

"How can he claim to be able to unite and reach across to all the people in the nation?"

Because Osama Obama is a congenital liar. He and Wright want to turn Martin Luther King's "I have a dream," into a national nightmare.

This question was answered in this April 2007 article from the International Herald Tribune, a subsidiary of the New York Times. I think that you will find answers to hows and whys of the Obama relationship to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, including details that put the lie to Obama's denials.

Barack Obama's Search for Faith

[Williams]

Obama is a leftist. He is more soft spoken than his minister, but the same themes underlie his votes, his speeches, and his policies.

Wright constantly calls the atom bombings of Japan evil. Obama vows not to develop any new American nuclear weapons.

Wright castigates America for villifying Castro, Qaddafi, et al. Obama promises to meet with them all without conditions.

Obama's speech today was almost insane in that he attributed every issue to a class struggle against evil corporations. Pure anti capitalism, just like the Reverand.

”Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has defended himself against charges of anti-Americanism and racism by referring to his foundational philosophy, the "black liberation theology" of scholars such as James Cone, who regard Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people" who will only accept a god who assists their aim of destroying the "white enemy."

"If God is not for us and against white people," writes Cone, "then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community."

"As a whole, the United Church of Christ does not teach black liberation theology."

Bull Squat!
One should STOP reading right there...

On national television, during an Interview with Hannity - Rev. Wright himself claimed he was a student, follower and preacher of "Black Liberation Theology"....

The author of this article is trying to separate Obama from the 100% racist, hateful and segregationist dogma of "Black Liberation Theology"..

For a quick study of "Black Liberation Theology" go here:

The theologian (Cone) explains:

Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants.

Rather than viewing God as a sovereign being who does as he wills according to his purposes, Cone insists God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him.

What the black community wants, Cone says, is for God to assist in its goal of destroying "the white enemy."

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community

This is hardly, "Christian"!

Every American black who wants to be “liberated”, can simply leave the US and become a citizen of another country. Nobody is stopping them.
