Obama Inspired by Gandhi? Really?
Gandhi, for example, would have lasted about twenty seconds in Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity “United” Church in Chicago. On the other hand, Barack Obama and his family dutifully attended Wright’s church for twenty years. Wright’s racially divisive theology of “liberation” would have constituted for Gandhi a direct assault on one of the main pillars of his own political philosophy: “liberation,” or swaraj.
