Yes. And Rush and Vannity should have a good time with this as well. Especially if they play Farrakahn sound-bites.

A spry Farrakhan sings Obama's praises
By SOPHIA TAREEN, Associated Press Writer 17 minutes ago
In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister 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.
The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours' Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.
"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 also leveled small jabs at Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, suggesting that she represents the politics of the past and has been engaging in dirty politics.

Oh and was the mother ship near by?????
No sign of the Great Mother ship. Maybe THAT is what the Navy shot outta the sky...
Oh, please, get the popcorn, Mama! This is gonna be good!
Farrakhan’s praise may be the kiss of political death for Obama.
Just keep these endorsements a-comin'...
Hello Jewish liberals, this is what the Dems have to offer.
Yes. And Rush and Vannity should have a good time with this as well. Especially if they play Farrakahn sound-bites.
Sure...if Obama was a Republican.
The only time the press turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to an Agent of Racial Hatred is when they're (1) a minority, and (2) endorsing a Democrat.
“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,”
Man.
Obamanation is going to have to walk on water to live up to this hype!
"Kill the Jews. Vote for Osamma Hussein Obama!"
Calypso Louie is back, and just in time to steer the Cruise Ship Obama into an iceberg.
Not unless Obama associates himself directly with Farrakhan.
Otherwise few people will notice or care what Farrakhan says.
Holy-crack-smoking batman!?
Is the nation really ready for a black president? How about one endorsed by Louis?
And there you have it.
Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah White, of Obama’s racist Trinity Church of Christ, is a good friend of Farrakhan but Obama claims to have distanced himself from Wright’s friendship with Calypso Louie.
I’m sure many of you who voted for him in droves didn’t know of his association with members of the Nation of Islam, or how he blamed the mideast conflict on Jews, or know that Palestinian activist and Islamist Ali Abunimah was a close friend of Obama’s, nor do you know that Obama’s Illinois State Senate district consisted of prime Nation of Islam territory, including Hyde Park, home to Obama and Farrakhan’s mansion. It is not possible, Illinois politicos say, to win that district without the blessing of the Nation of Islam leader. Nation of Islam members, including consultant Shakir Muhammad, held important roles in the Obama state senate campaign. Obama also attempted to get his crony, Federal Indictee Tony Rezko, a contract to build a nuclear power plant in the new Iraq. Rezko, a Syrian Arab who helped Obama in a deal to purchase his home, was in a partnership with Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad’s son, Jabir. Now keep talking about Obama and his CHANGE. He definitely will bring CHANGE. He already started in the Illinois Senate right in front of people’s eyes and they didn’t even notice it.
