Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's pastor, 'stole my wife'

[bijou]

...Delmer Reed has told friends he believed it was no coincidence that his former wife, Ramah, divorced him and married Mr Wright shortly after the Chiczago pastor gave him advice on their troubled marriage in the early 1980s.

Roosevelt Thomas, a lawyer who handled the Reeds’ divorce in 1983, confirmed to the New York Post that Mr Reed long believed Rev Wright moved in on his wife after counselling them.

The allegation, which is flatly denied by the Wright family, compounds the embarrassment that Mr Obama has already suffered from his links with Rev Wright.

...Mr Reed, 59, a former investigator for the Illinois secretary of state, told the Post that he and his wife went to Rev Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for help when his long working hours started to damage their marriage.

He said he spoke with Rev Wright four times over a few months. Ramah remarried six years after she divorced Mr Reed but she and the pastor, who have a teenage daughter, were reportedly a couple for years before they wed.

Mr Reed said he had promised his children he would not say anything negative about their stepfather, whom he said he had forgiven.

However, he admitted he initially hadn’t believed rumours linking his wife with the pastor, but belatedly conceded he was wrong.

It'll be of interest to the 180,000 -190,000 Americans living here.  Both parties have had campaign events and primary voting here.

I have noticed that the british press has a totally different perspective most of the time.

I find it refreshing.

Their elections don't get so much visibility in our press because honestly they don't affect us that much.  However, our national elections have a huge effect on them, and are a totally legitimate part of their news, whether we like their take on them or not.
