A new photo has emerged that shows former President Barack Obama posing with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the black nationalist hate group Nation of Islam.
The photo shows then Democratic Illinois Sen. Barack Obama smiling with Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005. Farrakhan is known for embracing radically anti-Semitic and anti-white views, as even the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center has acknowledged.
Journalist Askia Muhammed said he took the photo but decided to suppress its publication in order to protect Obama’s presidential ambitions. Now that Obama’s political career is over, Muhammad is going public with the picture and publishing it in a new book called “The Autobiography of Charles 67X.”
The photo was first published last week by the Trice Edney News Wire, a “provocative, empowering, unapologetically Black” wire news service that interviewed Muhammad. The veteran journalist told the news service that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy” to protect Obama.
“But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover,” he said, referencing keeping the photo under wraps to protect Obama’s career. “It absolutely would have made a difference.”
Muhammad is a veteran journalist who has won awards from the National Association of Black Journalists.
Obama’s ties to Farrakhan became an issue during the 2008 campaign, after Hillary Clinton slammed Obama for being slow to disavow the hate group leader’s endorsement.
“I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought,” Obama said at the time, according to CNN. “And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.” Obama added: “I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that he thinks I’m a good guy.”
Pushed by Clinton, Obama finally denounced Farrakhan, saying that “if the word ‘reject’ Senator Clinton feels is stronger than the word ‘denounce,’ then I’m happy to concede the point, and I would reject and denounce.”
The new photo shows Obama was closer to Farrakhan than he let on.
I can hear it now, “Barack Hussien Obama was foreign born, the Union is still strong...what's the big deal”.
I have no insider information. But I wonder if this fairly innocuous photo of the future president with an unsavory character is the beginning trickle of a flood of damaging information against Barrack Hussein Obama. If you are trying to turn public opinion and perceptions, you can’t do it in one day.
I must have a different idea of what the word Bombshell means.
“BTW I was born there”
Me too, and I spent a lot of my youth walking the streets and alleys that I can’t anymore unless willing to be shot. I’ve had friends shot while I lived there, and remember sitting in my bedroom as a young kid, listening to gunfire down the street. It wasn’t usual then, and certainly wasn’t like it is now, but it was the beginning of a trend that has destroyed the quality of life in large areas of Chicago. I don’t know what the answers are, but I do know that little children shouldn’t have to grow up in gang-infested neighborhoods in which they can’t play outside in safety.

Obama’s and Clintons could have eaten live babies on the White House steps and moron leftist voters would have said the babies had it coming.
What’s the copyright on these damn pictures? Can we cut and paste?
I knew once that rectum was gone they would loose all the evil crap that might have helped keep him outta the White House.
I think flying to Africa to support a muslim communist for President is much worse. Raila Odinga....it’s all on video, complete with the welcoming party, singing kids, hugs from Odinga when he gets off his plane.
I don’t know. I have posted them here for years and had no problem.
The cokehead muslim twink.
Born in 1942 and we moved to a south suburb in 1949, so never suffered the horrors you have. If you’re a good, strong Republican, you’d be really well off to move down here to TN, a good Republican state that respects and celebrates the Second Amendment.

Of course Barry and Looie are buds. They both hate the same people.
All the stuff that Hannity was talking about on his radio show warning listeners about Obama before he was even elected the first time, I remember Farrakan name being brought up even saw a pic on internet. Mainstream media kept things from the people. Essentially they kept the mainstream population ignorant of who the candidates really were so we could not make an informed choice.
He sure did, I won’t forget THAT SLIP until I no longer draw breath.
Why is this a "bombshell?"
The bigest political fraud in U.S. history surrounded himself with Africans from the word go.
Everywhere, but most noticeably in D.C.
Except, of course, for the French chefs in the White House.
Movin' on up!
2005 Troll...
It just proves Obama is an anti-Semitic loser. The reasons for his treatment of Netanyahu is painfully obvious now.
