Does Sen. Obama Have a Relationship With Louis Farrakhan?
Reports Reveal Obama Staffers ’ Association With Nation of Islam
Senator Barack Obama has now been crowned the 2008 Democratic nominee, making him the first black American to lead a major party. Now more disturbing news has surfaced about Obama’s questionable relationships. Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996 and represented a key constituency in Hyde Park, where Minister Louis Farrakhan lives. Obama’s former pastor (Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.) and church (Trinity United Church of Christ) are closely aligned with Farrakhan. According to a report on WorldNetDaily.com, at least two of Obama’s senior staffers belong to The Nation of Islam—a racist, anti-semtic black organization headed up by Farrakhan. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, is asking Sen. Obama to answer the following key questions about this latest damning revelation:
-
Sen. Obama, do you have senior staffers working for you who are members of The Nation of Islam?
-
Mr. Obama, have you or members of your staff ever had meetings with Louis Farrakhan? If yes, what was the nature of the meeting (s)? Where and when did it (they) take place?
-
Have you received financial or other types of support from The Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, or his associates?
-
Have you given financial or other types of support to The Nation of Islam or Louis Farrakhan?
-
Given the sordid nature of many of your associations, what evidence do you have that you possess the judgment necessary to become commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces?
“Mr. Obama, you are seeking to be the leader of the greatest country on earth. It’s time you answered some real questions,” said Rev. Peterson.
Rev. Peterson is Founder and President of The Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), a nationally respected nonprofit organization dedicated to “Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man.” He is also the host of “The Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show.
