He's quite the topic of interest in the USA right now...mainly due to the fact that he's on this whole racism thing, and most analysts say he's seriously screwing with Obamas campaign strategies. I laugh as I watch him...he get's so worked up, and usually ends up saying something that will make the news.
He did go with "pension" very quickly after that last scandal broke out. Bit disappointed in Obama for dropping the guy. He most certainly have heard similar words from him during all those years that he visited the guys church.
