Interviewer, asked Obama in front of Hillary: Do you accept the support of Louis Farrakham? Obama: "He...seems to be bringing the country together"

Obama said that he, Obama, is bringing the coutnry together. You make it sound like Obama was praising Farrakhan. The full quote

"You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments,” Obama said. “I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support. He expressed pride in an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally, with Minister Farrakhan.”
Obama's full of himself. And his denunciation of Farrakhan seems shallow. But he didn't praise Farrakhan and doctoring quotes won't do our side any good.
