| Nation of Islam leader
tries to recant but 'too late,' says Obama
From wire reports February 25, 2008, Chicago--Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world." Farrakhan compared Obama to Nation of Islam founder Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father. "Maybe now that we have this young mulatto man, this child of Mohammad at the helm, America will turn from its evil, racist, Jew-loving ways and change for the better," said the 74-year-old Farrakhan during his first major speech in a year. Later, however, after being told by handlers that Obama is not Muslim but Christian, Farrakhan tried to withdraw his endorsement of the Illinois senator. "This just demonstrates to us the duplicitous ways of the present Judeo-Christian regime controlling America. To take this Christian man and stamp him with a Muslim-sounding name, and then try to pass him off to the unknowing as a fellow son of Mohammad, is evil incarnate." "Senator Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support, but we'll take it," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton. Farrakhan says he never made an outright endorsement of Obama and that the campaign should allow "this elder child of the One True God to have his words returned to him." "Too late," said Burton.
