Wright married Obama and his wife, baptized his children and had been a close spiritual adviser to [[Obama]] for twenty years. Wright even inspired the title of Obama's book ''The Audacity of Hope''. Wright came under fire for anti-American statements he has made, and for implying that the [[AIDS]] virus was spread by the United States government to wipe out the black population and that the United States got what it deserved on [[9/11]] and that the Jews are evil white people.

Wright's comments were condemned across America. Only when it became politically important, Obama finally distanced himself from Wright.  Obama went to Wright's Church for almost many years and must have had a connection.
