"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed." Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers dressed in Nation of Islam attire including long white suits and matching head scarfs for women and navy-colored uniforms with caps for men. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

Obama is a punk for the establishment. There is virtually no difference between Obama.. Hillary.. or Bush.
Obama is good at stirring up the hog farm of the economic system called the Price System.
Only the brainwashed will fall for this guy. Another pawn. He is also a religious crank.
He is controlled by special interest groups. Only.
between the Oscar announcement that his middle name is Hussein and this endorsement, ohio and texas might be a wash.
What the heck is Farrakhan's emphasis that Obama's mother was white about?
I'm somewhat surprised at this. People are placing so much hope in Obama it is amazing. They know little about his policies or what he has done in the Senate and yet he inspires them so much it is crazy. I do hope they hold his feet to the fire and force him to be a servant of the people and not to the financial corporations that are also funding him. DV, is that the entire speech by the minister or did he have more to say?
I'm sure he'll have to reassure AIPAC that he's still a loyal servant.
