Jeremiah Wright's Sunday

Jeremiah Wright was preaching in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

Wrote the Washington Post's Dana Milbank of Wright's sermon at Howard University:

Obama's disowned minister booked himself at Howard University for church services yesterday, when he offered thousands of worshipers his thoughts on an election that turned a parishioner into a president, and a pastor into a pariah.

. . .

Now Wright, who came close to dooming Obama's election, is resurfacing to celebrate the victory as a product of the candidate's finding of God, which happened under Wright's auspices.

. . .

"Barack got a new address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Wright preached. "He moved from lying on the corner of Woe Is Me and It's 'They' Fault. Check him out: He now lives in a mansion on the corner of Praise God Boulevard and Thank You Jesus Avenue."

. . .

When he stepped to the pulpit, Wright at first seemed to be avoiding talk about his former parishioner.

He related the biblical story of Jesus meeting the infirm at the Pool of Bethesda -- "the blind, the lame, the paralyzed" -- and curing a man who hadn't been able to walk for 38 years. "When Jesus stepped into his story, the Lord gave him new ability," Wright said.

He gradually extended the parable so that the man Jesus cured became Obama.

"The Lord stepped into that scrawny black kid's story and gave him new ability," Wright preached. "The half-Kenyan, half-Kansan said, 'Yes, we can.' He had a new attitude. The naysayers and the player haters said . . . you'll never win," but Obama was "saved by the man by the pool."
