(Associated Press) Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday, Feb 24, 2008, that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better.
“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. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
Farrakhan has drawn attention for calling Judaism a “gutter religion” and suggesting crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.

Obama Hussein will never be a ’savior’ to us. He will sell America down the river in a short time. It is time he and his wife disappear from the political arena. This is the first time she has been happy being an America – quote – unquote. They will do anyting toget into the White House.,

There must have been a sale on Kool Aid somewhere, because a lot of people seem to be drinking it. Hope Obama can keep of all of his many promises to save mankind and the USA. I couldn’t agree with Dr. Moses more.
