Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's pastor, 'stole my wife'

Barack Obama’s controversial spiritual mentor, the Rev Jeremiah Wright, has been accused of stealing the wife of a parishioner who went to him for marriage counselling.
Mr Reed, 59, a former investigator for the Illinois secretary of state, told the Post that he and his wife went to Rev Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for help when his long working hours started to damage their marriage.
He said he spoke with Rev Wright four times over a few months. Ramah remarried six years after she divorced Mr Reed but she and the pastor, who have a teenage daughter, were reportedly a couple for years before they wed.
Mr Reed said he had promised his children he would not say anything negative about their stepfather, whom he said he had forgiven.
However, he admitted he initially hadn’t believed rumours linking his wife with the pastor, but belatedly conceded he was wrong.
“People were telling me my extremely attractive wife was seen with the pastor. I thought, ’So what?’” Harold Davis, a Chicago youth leader, told the Post it had been “common knowledge” . He added: “Jeremiah knew all the weaknesses of the couple, and he started focusing on the wife, her vulnerabilities, and started doing things she wanted Delmer to do - spending time with her, taking her to the movies, that sort of thing.”
