Either Obama regularly attended church and knew his minister, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, was a hater and a racist or he didn't attend church regularly and didn't know the man who married him and baptized his children and who served as his mentor. (click here for Chicago Tribune article)

Based on Obama's relationship with this man, it seems impossible the truth is the latter.

If a person attends a church that that teaches views that violate that person's beliefs, then that person should change churches. This is what I did. It was very difficult to walk away from the church I had considered home my entire life but as the church became more political, I felt I had no choice. There are hundreds of churches in Illinois. (click here for link to possible churches) Is Obama a Christian? Is there such a thing as "Black Christianity" that is devoid of all things White? Does Obama need to attend a "Black" church to be accepted by Black Americans?

One might think that church would be a place we could all come together. Apparently not, at least not in Chicago.

Why did the media make such an issue out of Romney's religion while ignoring the hate filled rhetoric of the minister at Obama's church. Is it possible Rev. Wright stepped down and retired to try to minimize any fallout for Obama because of their relationship? Could a White minister say the sorts of things proclaimed repeatedly by Wright and not face consequences? Is the fear of talking about race minimizing the media's ability to address this story?

These are obviously rhetorical questions as any honest person knows the most likely truth: Obama made a political decision to attend a Church that promotes hate because he believed it was expedient to belong to this particular congregation. He should be honest about failure to pick his church carefully and stop pretending that he somehow missed all of the hate-filled, racist rants.

Maybe when Obama says he wants change- he means he wants to change his story or history...
