This has been a bad week so far for Barack Obama.
Not only did he become the object of Internet derision for this picture, showing him in Kenyan dress, but he got an endorsement he probably wished he hadn’t from none other than the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan.
It’s not Obama’s only connection to Farrakhan. Obama’s mentor and pastor has long been friends with Farrakhan, so it’s a reasonable question whether Obama has ever met the renowned black racist leader.
On Monday, Farrakhan said of Obama: “This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”
Farrakhan also compared Obama with Fard Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam: “A black man with a white mother became a savior to us. … A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
Obama’s reaction to the endorsement was essentially a shrug of the shoulders. We should want more from a man who would be our leader.

How do you like us NOW!!!Lol!!!
The Election has been a racist’s nightmare-you, the klan and the neo-con-nazis are not having a good day!Lol!!!Enjoy!
History lesson: It’s the Democratic party that has always been the biggest supporter of racism — just look at Sen. Robert “Sheets” Byrd. And the Nazis were liberals — hence the name “National Socialists Party.” Be that as it may …
Actually, it’s you idiots who think this was about Obama’s skin color who are going to be sorry. I’m going to be fine. You people who supported Obama should be worried, though, because history shows it’s the “useful idiots” who are the first ones on the hit list. When you wake up in a few months and realize your messiah has taken this country from a minor economic downturn into a full-blown depression and your job is gone because he raised your boss’ taxes to punish “the rich,” you’re going to find that the welfare check from Mr. Obama is pretty darn small, and under a bridge is not a good place to live. So laugh while you can; you’re about to get what you wished for.
