According to a man who interviewed Rev. Wright, Obama came to Wright and said, "I need some spiritual advice. I don't know exactly who I am."[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsbWxUBc0w]

I'm removing the part insinuating Obama doesn't attend Christian funeral services held in a church. The WaPo has a [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/06/22/a-list-of-the-prominent-funerals-president-obama-has-and-has-not-attended/?utm_term=.939d00e7f3dc handy guide] to the funerals / memorial services he's attended up to Feb. 2016.

In anticipation of any silly lawyering over this, these three were unequivocally Christian funeral services held in a church:

The full list, including memorial services, reads:

*Ted Kennedy

+

*Walter Kronkite

+

*Dorothy Height

+

*Robert Byrd

+

*Daniel Inouye

+

*Tom Foley

+

*Nelson Mandela

+

*Beau Biden

+

*Clementa Pinckney

+

I trust this will suffice as sufficient proof of the absurdity of this particular insinuation. [[User:JohnZ|JohnZ]] ([[User talk:JohnZ|talk]]) 15:49, 30 May 2017 (EDT)
