Barack Hussein Obama is Allah's man, a divine messiah with a god-given capacity to handle any burdens he'll face as the nation's leader because he draws a "oneness of spirit" from all people.
Or so said Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan during a Sunday address that celebrated the new President-elect at a Chicago mosque.
"President-elect Obama has energized all segments of the depressed, downtrodden, rejected and despised," Farrakhan said in the 90-minute speech. "Now it is up to us to take the new energy that he has given us."
The 75-year-old Muslim admitted he stayed quiet about his support for Obama during the past few months after praising the Democratic Party candidate last February as "the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better."
B. Hussein quickly distanced himself from Farrakhan at the time, and the Islamic leader didn't object: "I decided it would be better for me to just be quiet rather than be drawn into the controversy that was swirling around his pastor (Rev. Jeremiah Wright), Father Pfleger, and others," Farrakhan said.
