Patricia -

Have you listened to any of the many sermons that are now available on YouTube where he preaches love, self-examination, and self-reliance? There are a lot of them.

Here's a little excerpt:

"We have a friend who loves us. We have a friend who lifts us.
We have a friend who can lighten the load.

...

"I have a few more L's for you.

...

"I have a friend who not only loves, lifts, and lightens.

"I have a friend who lights up my path when my way gets dark. He is the light of the world. I not only have a friend who lights up my path, I have a friend who listens. He listens to my heart, he listens to my hurt, and he listens to my hopes."

- Rev. Jeremiah Wright

The man goes on and on like that. Shocking, isn't it?

Did their parents fail to work with them and guide them through the good and the bad? I think there is no basis of knowing what impact it had on the kids. The only thing I have in front of me is Barack and Michelle. And they don't seem to be influenced by Rev. Wright.
