Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan: Obama is America's blessing

Speaking at the State of the Black World conference in New Orleans, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, called President-elect Barack Obama ‘America's blessing.’

Farrakhan also said he believes Obama's election came about by intervention from God.

The Nation of Islam leader also said, “Barack is our blessing. Barack is America's blessing. Barack could be the world's blessing.”

Farrakhan went on to say that Obama's rise should show that God has not forsaken us, and this should also tell us that God is giving America a chance to redeem herself.

Farrakhan also spoke warmly of Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was among those honored.

It must warm the heart of the Nation of Islam leader to know that he will soon have as his president a black man named Barack Hussein Obama!
