Farrakhan Praises Obama

February 25th, 2008 • Richard Cochrane

The radical and often inflammatory Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better (if he is President).. According to an AP release Farrakan never out rightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator. Farrakhan made what was called his final public address at a Saviours’ Day event in Detroit. Obama’s home church awarded Farrakhan its highest honor last year.

At this writing Obama has not commented about Farrakhan’s oraise.

 Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933), is the acting head of the Nation of Islam (NOI) as the National Representative of Elijah Muhammad. He is also well-known as an advocate for African American interests; critic of America, and is often called racist, homophobic, and antisemitic.
