Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s tendency to preach bizarre and often hate filled political doctrine versus the teachings of the Holy Bible has been widely reported. As the former pastor of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama’s home church-Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago-he can be seen in many videos stumping directly in the pulpit for Barack Obama.
The “church” itself has come under IRS investigation for what appears to be blatant violations of allowed political activity under the guidelines for tax-exempt status as a church described in section 501(c)(3) and in section 170(b)(1)(A)(i)of the IRS Code.

Barack Obama may be trying to distance himself from some of the anti-American, anti-semitic and racist statements made by Wright in the pulpit but the recent release of Obama’s tax returns reflect continued financial support of the “church” and hence its message. In 2005 and 2006 alone, the Obama family gave $27,500 to the “church.”
The revelation of this information leaves us to ponder-who is really supporting who?
