Barack has gone to Trinity for 20yrs, where Rev. Wright has preached "Black Liberation Theology", and Obama says Wright was his "spiritual advisor".
So, does Obama believe in "Black Liberation Theology"?
If so, does he believe in all of its precepts? Or what specific precepts does he disagree with?
If not, why has he stayed in that church for 20yrs.
Forget about all the bat-shit-crazy shtick from Wright. How about just Barak's feelings on Black Liberation Theology?
These are honest questions I have about all this. I only know Obama from what he's told me about himself the last 12 months he's been running for President. That he's stayed in his church for 20yrs implies to me that he has at least some affinity towards Black Liberation Theology.
Romney's Mormonism was an issue in his campaign, because Mormonism seemed so alien to many Americans. Obama's gonna have a similar issue with Black Liberation Theology, and he'll need to explain his relationship with it.
IMHO.
