Louis Farrakhan blamed the Jews, among others, for President Obama's difficulties.
In a 3 1/2-hour speech marking Saviours' Day, a Nation of Islam holiday, the movement's leader told 20,000 followers in Chicago's United Center that Obama's political difficulties came after he stood up to the Jewish lobby at an Oval Office meeting.
"When they left the White House, his problems began," the Chicago Sun-Times quoted Farrakhan as saying.
Obama's meeting last summer with leaders of Jewish groups was mostly friendly, but there were differences over his administration's tone in dealing with Israel's Netanyahu government. All sides since then -- the White House, the organized Jewish leadership and the Israeli government -- have tried to tamp down public criticism.
“The Zionists are in control of Congress,†Farrakhan said Sunday as he listed off a slew of Jewish economic advisers, adding that the “bloodsuckers of the poor†were rewarded with a bailout.

14. To all of you slamming Louis Farrakhan
I will put on my fire proof suit late next Sunday.
A number of years ago he came to my city, to where he went to school. He gave a speech on campus (Winston-Salem State University)
He spoke for about 4 hours, it seemed like one.
Everything he was talking about resonated as correct, paralleling my own observations of our society and our problems.
His message is sound, his assessments bold and he contributes clarity.
In my opinion we have ignored his potential insights and contributions at our peril.
He will give a major address next Sunday.
Flame me AFTER you listen to it.

19. I have heard more than a few of his speeches
and found that he made sense but you will really have to explain how this statement differs fromthe lunacy of Pat Robertson.

Farrakhan's a Muslim. What does he care about Obama, who is a Christian?
Allegedly.

You can always count on Farrakhan for a good laugh!!

Farrakhan is a racist idiot. PERIOD. Anybody that supports him probably thinks the same way.

Good Grief how old is he now.? He still looks young and healthy.
When he for any reason has to retire who will take up the job he has anointed himself for.?
Interesting man that Farrakhan, he kind of reminds me of an old time union boss that was ruthless and held on to his followers by the skin of his teeth with threats and fear.
When he had a meeting in Boston a few years ago his protectors carried semiautomatics and the police closed their eyes. He blew into town like a War Lord held a huge meeting with his armed guards at the door to keep out woman and non blacks. Such a buzz went up, all papers and local TV had to tread lightly.
Seems that he has to pop up every few years to remind us that Hate is alive and well. He really fears the absorbsion of the blacks into the world, intermarriage between blacks and whites, Asians and Latinos, the growing Christian movement of the blacks in the North must keep him awake at night.
The South is a tough nut to crack, about the only followers he can get there is to recruit in prisons and when his members are released, the family's are not so willing to embrace a Muslim into their Christian family.
Just watched the Factor on FOX, what a scandal that one is for the Catholic Church, a top Catholic Priest taking to the stage to support Farrakhan. How bazaar can life get.?
BTW, I believe he has body guards to protect himself from those in his organization from those that wish to move up into his position, his money and power.
Farrakhan is slipping, his target for enrichment is becoming very well educated, and finding that his ideas are self centered, about the only people that listen to him today are the men who are thugs, and yes I put the Rev. Wright and his ilk that follow these civil rights activities who put a Rev. in front of there name if they have been ordained or not.
Sorry Thor, I am trying to put thoughts on Farrakhan into an orderly pile, but, unfortunately there is always that joker in the deck.

Obama attended his 1/2 million man March.
