The Colvin Report:The Farrakhan Connection

Whats the deal with Obama, his church and the anti-semitic islamic minister Louis Farrakhan?

Farrakhan, who has drawn attention for calling Judaism a “gutter religion,” dubbed the Illinois senator the “hope of the entire world” on Sunday.

Obama was asked during a debate with Hillary Clinton Tuesday night if he would reject that support — but the Illinois senator at first hedged.

“I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that he thinks I’m a good guy,” Obama said. “You know, I have been very clear in my denunciations of him and his past statements." Hillary decided to press him on the issue and he then decided to reject the endorsement.

This isn't the end of the problem for Obama, as the HRC staff is now questioning his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the recently retired pastor at Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The church magazine gave Farrakhan the 2007 lifetime achievement award for social justice.

Life time achievement huh, where do Obama's ties lie?

This is the same church that requires a "Non-negotiable commitment to Africa" from all members and Obama's foreign aid initiatives indicate he will follow through with that commitment (before dealing with an American recession).

At least this helps explain why his wife has never been proud of America.
