However, a fellow colleague of his at that same University of Chicago School of Law, senior lecturer Richard A. Posner, a white man, a Jew who was also the chief judge of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, not only frequently responded to my inquiries, he mentored me for the past 10 years and has graciously served as an academic reference on my behalf.

His ipso facto acceptance of radical ideas from the law academy (and Pastor Wright) without question thus causes me to view Obama not as a fully developed man, but as a Manchurian Candidate that seems incapable of having an independent thought apart from Marxist, socialist, liberal dogma. Such a person in my opinion is unworthy of the presidency (at least in America).

If 20 years ago Obama had only taken the road less traveled and joined my church, Antioch Church of God in Christ, and willingly submitted himself under the wise and un-theatrical tutelage of Pastor Green, a magnificent man of God, things would have been much better for him.

Thank you, Pastor Havious Green, for teaching me how to love God, how to pray, study the Bible, speak the truth without fear … but most of all for making a man out of me.
