praising of obama

Nation of Islam Minister, Louis Farrakhan, sang Obama praises today in a public address at the annual Savior's Day Celebration. He referred to Senator Obama as the "hope of the entire world" in the hope that the United States will change for the better if the presidential hopeful wins the democrat candidacy and then the office of the president. He also stated towards the Senator that "This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better. 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."

These were powerful words of endorsement for Senator Barack Obama coming from a source that may or may not be soaked in with respect from most Americans. Not to say that mainstream America will not listen to the words of Louis Farrakhan, but the general stereotypical sentiment against Arabic Americans and Islam could cause some prejudice towards these remarks. Especially when Louis Farrakhan compared Senator Obama to the founder of the Muslim religion, Fard Mohammed, who also had a black father and a white mother, stating that "A black man with a white mother became a savior to us, a black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

There were also small remarks made out against rival Senator Clinton, stating that she was a representative of politics of the past, a powerful statement in campaigns that are across the board preaching change and that she was practicing "dirty politics".
