But of course: New Obama pastor will continue Wright’s legacy - wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for Jeremiah
Otis Moss, the man slated to become the new chief pastor at Barack Obama’s Chicago church, subscribes to the ideology of retiring pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and is expected to continue Wright’s legacy, according to Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party.

Shabazz said he does not believe Obama should be judged by the sermons or views of Wright or Moss.
“Obama should be fairly judged on what he says he believes,” Shabazz told WND and Batchelor.
