Wright's church is not the least bit like the black churches I went to.  Nor 
did any of our ministers have the church build them a $10 million home.

I've already seen part of the interview.  I think the most telling part is 
where Wright says, and I quote "he says what he HAS TO say" about what Obama 
has said about him, the church and so forth and so on.  Not what the truth 
is, not what Obama really does or feels, but what he has to say to play the 
game of politics.  Just like in the Faith Forum where he said that his 
religion is a tool.

I think if most folks went to most black churches and then had gone to 
Wright's church when Wright was still the pastor, they wouldn't see much of 
a resemblance.
