This was straight from Wikipedia:
A theme of Obama's 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address, and the title of his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, was inspired by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the senior pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ who retired in February 2008. In Chapter 6 of the book, titled "Faith," Obama writes that he "was not raised in a religious household." He describes his mother, raised by non-religious parents, as detached from religion, yet "in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I have ever known." He describes his Kenyan father as "raised a Muslim," but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his Indonesian stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful."
That's to clear up some of the lies that the media put out there. You people who rely on Hannity and Colmes/ Rush Limbaugh need to cut the tv/radio off and actually go to the original source for answers. Go to Obama's site. Go to Hilary's site. And even go to McCain's site. But don't listen to what BS the media is throwing out there because it's only designed to make you dislike one party more than the other. I like both McCain and Obama. Hilary worries me in a way being that her husband was the former president. He did good the first term but not the second. I hope she sticks to her word if she does get elected. But on the same token, when was the last time you were able to trust a politician? Maybe we have another Shirley Franklin. Maybe not. Only time will tell.
