Farrakhan on Obama: 'The Messiah is absolutely speaking'
'Barack has captured the youth,' will bring about 'universal change'

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based
political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other
long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack
Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the
campaign for the White House.
He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
You can watch it for yourself on a newly posted YouTube video.
Addressing a large crowd behind a podium Feb. 24 with a Nation of Islam
Saviour's Day 2008 sign, Farrakhan proclaims,
"You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about
universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has
involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything
about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will
hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
"Brothers and sisters," Farrakhan said, "Barack Obama to me, is a herald of
the Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new,
something better is on the way."
Farrakhan points out that the man Nation of Islam followers refer to as "the
Savior," Fard Muhammad, had a black father and a white mother, just as Obama
did.
"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he said. "A black
man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from
her fall.
"Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so
racist, so evil in its treatment of Hispanics, native Americans, blacks?" he
asked. "Would God do something like that? Yeah. Of course he would. That's
to show you that the stone that the builders rejected has become the
headstone of the corner. This is a sign to you. It's the time of our rise.
It's the time that we should take our place. The future is all about you."
Farrakhan suggested he would keep a low profile in the campaign, despite his
enthusiasm for Obama.
"That's why you have never heard me make any comment," he explained. "I love
that brother, and I want to see that brother successful. I don't want to say
anything that would hurt that brother, and I don't want them to use me or
the Nation of Islam."
Returning to the theme that Obama is a mystical figure, Farrakhan said, he
"is not the Messiah for sure, but anytime he gives you a sign of uniting
races, ethnic groups, ideologies, religions and makes people feel a sense of
oneness, that's not necessarily Satan's work, that is, I believe, the work
of God."
He went on to point out that when religious scholars talk about Christ or
the Islamic Mahdi, they never talk in racial terms - again, pointing to
Obama's mixed racial background.
WND previously reported a website called "Is Barack Obama the Messiah?"
captured the wave of euphoria that followed the Democratic senator's
remarkable rise.
The site is topped by an Obama quote strategically ripped from a Jan. 7
speech at Dartmouth College just before the New Hampshire Primary in which
he told students, ". a light will shine through that window, a beam of light
will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will
suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote"
for Obama.
MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews is among the many members of the media
enraptured by Obama, admitting he felt a "thrill going up my leg"
listening to an Obama speech.
At the media watchdog Newsbusters, P.J. Gladnick writes that Obama has a
charisma that goes beyond "his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even
inspiring rhetoric."
"Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what
Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration
integrity," "Gladnick says. "Dismiss it all you like, but I've heard from
far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who've been
intuitively blown away by Obama's presence - not speeches, not policies, but
sheer presence - to say it's just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit
carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers who, once Obama gets
into office, will suddenly turn from perky optimists to vile soul-sucking
lobbyist whores, with Obama as their suddenly evil, cackling overlord."
WND also reported when talk radio host Rush Limbaugh criticized Democrats
who were comparing Obama to Jesus and Gov. Sarah Palin to Pontius Pilate.
"I know Jesus Christ. I pray to Jesus Christ all the time," said Limbaugh."
I study what Jesus Christ did and said all the time, and let me tell you
something, Barack Obama, you are no Jesus Christ."
He also attacked Obama's stances for abortion and sex education for children
in kindergarten, saying, "I can't find any such references to Jesus
promoting infanticide nor do I find any references to Jesus Christ
suggesting sex education be taught to 4- and 5-year-olds, but I'm still
looking in the New Testament and I'll let you all know if I come up with
anything."
Democrats, including party strategist Donna Brazile and Rep. Steve Cohen,
D-Tenn., made nearly identical biblical comparisons of the characters in
this presidential election, which Limbaugh traced back to a Sept. 4 posting
on a Washington blog.
"Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus," Cohen said during a
one-minute speech on the floor of the U.S. House yesterday. "Pontius Pilate
was a governor."
