Are you hesitant to support Barack Obama for President because of his association with Jeremiah Wright, the preacher who hates America?

Turns out Obama owes a great deal more to Wright than you might have thought. Here's an extract from one of Wright's sermons:

The good news that's coming is for all people! Not white people—all people. Not black people—all people. Not rich people—all people. Not poor people—all people. I know you'll hate this... not straight people—all people! Not gay people—all people. Not American people—all people. ...God's good news isn't just for Americans, it's for all people. Say "all people"! Jesus came for Iraqis and Afghanis. Jesus was sent for Iranians and Ukrainians. All people! Jesus is God's gift to the brothers in jail and the sisters in jeopardy. All people! The Lord left his royal courts on high to come for all those that you love, yes, but he also came for all those folk that you can't stand. All people!

So I guess Barack Obama is a uniter, not a divider ... just like Jeremiah Wright.
