>>He obiously feel betrayed. He was Obama's mentor, spiritual advisor, married him, baptised his children, gave him roots in Chicago, and was obviously close. On an emotional level it must have been a more powerful relationship than even betweeen father and son. << Mary - I'm sure you're correct about the feeling of betrayal. On the other hand, I don't know why you would assume that their emotional relationship was more powerful than that between a father and son. OK, Wright performed marriage and baptismal services for the Obama, as he undoubtedly did for thousands of his parishioners, and he was his spiritual advisor, as again he must have been for thousands of others. I can't recall having seen anyone close to Obama describe Wright as his "mentor", but maybe that was true. But father and son? It doesn't follow, and I haven't seen any evidence of that. - Allen
