Farrakhan: Stick With Obama
By SOPHIA TAREEN


CHICAGO (AP) — Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Thursday that backers of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama shouldn't be dissuaded by the senator's denunciation of Farrakhan during a Democratic debate.

His statement comes after Obama was asked during Tuesday's televised debate with Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton about Farrakhan's support for the Obama campaign. Obama said he denounces Farrakhan's past anti-Semitic remarks and rejects his support.
Farrakhan sent an unsolicited statement Thursday to The Associated Press that he said was meant to respond to "outrage expressed by many" over Obama's comments.

"Those who have been supporting Sen. Barack Obama should not allow what was said during the Feb. 26 presidential debate to lessen their support for his campaign. This is simply mischief making intended to hurt Mr. Obama politically."

Farrakhan, through a spokesman, later clarified that by "mischief making" he was referring to the questions posed by debate moderator Tim Russert, host of NBC's "Meet the Press."
The issue arose Sunday, when Farrakhan praised Obama before a large Nation of Islam gathering, even comparing him to the religion's founder, Wallace D. Fard Muhammad, who Farrakhan claims also had a white mother and black father.

"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," Farrakhan said Sunday. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."
The Obama campaign moved quickly to distance itself from Farrakhan. Just hours after the address, the campaign said, "Senator Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support."
Farrakhan has drawn widespread attention in the past for making anti-Semitic remarks, including calling Judaism a "gutter religion." In recent years, officials with the Nation of Islam have said they favor unity and tolerance among religions, and Farrakhan now often quotes the texts of other religions in his speeches.

Officials with the Nation have long argued that Farrakhan's comments are often taken out of context.

During Tuesday's debate, Russert pressed Obama about whether he accepts Farrakhan's support. The senator responded that while both he and Farrakhan live in Chicago, that's where their ties end.

"I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments. I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible," Obama said. "I did not solicit this support."
Following an exchange with Clinton, he then added: "There's no formal offer of help from Minister Farrakhan that would involve me rejecting it. But if the word 'reject' Senator Clinton feels is stronger than the word 'denounce,' then I'm happy to concede the point, and I would reject and denounce."

Blacks 4 Barack Launches:
The HILLARY
"STEP DOWN
WITH GRACE"
CAMPAIGN
Contact the DNC to let
Howard Dean know that we
feel that Hillary should step
down in a respectful manner
since she is obvously not going
to win the nomination.
This would be the right gesture
for her political future as well
as the right gesture for the
Democratic Party. Just

CLICK HERE

.....respectfully request
the DNC to ask Hillary to step-down.
She is totally just stalling the inevitable.
She had us all holding our breath for the
big 'Ohio Showdown'....which was a dud...
now she's claiming pre-victory in Texas
and Ohio which is a total joke. Then after
her March 4th spanking she'll claim to be
able to come from behind in Pennsylvania,
as if she doesn't see the polls that Obama is
already within 5 points in Pa. and by primary
day he'll probably be in the lead....and win there
as well. Wake Up Hill ! Smell the coffee.
The parties over. Give it up. Call Howard Now !
Then it will be time to concentrate
on the Re-Birth Of America....
BARACK OBAMA !

Rep. John Lewis Officially
Switches To Obama

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 02/27/08

WASHINGTON — Hoping to put an end to a month of confusion and dismay, Rep. John Lewis on Wednesday said he's switching his support from Sen. Hillary Clinton to Sen. Barack Obama in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Lewis cited the overwhelming preference for Obama in his district as a reason for his change of heart, but he also talked about Obama's campaign as transformational for the nation.
"Something's happening in America, something some of us did not see coming," Lewis said. "Barack Obama has tapped into something that is extraordinary.
Lewis, an Atlanta Democrat and an elder of the civil rights movement, at first sparked outrage from Georgia's African American community by backing Clinton, a friend, over Obama, the nation's first viable African American candidate.

Then confusion struck about a week ago when Lewis told the New York Times that, as a super delegate to the Democratic National Convention, he would feel compelled to vote for Obama as the nominee because his district – and the state's African American population overall – so overwhelmingly for Obama in the state primary.

Lewis's office later charged that the story was inaccurate but did not clarify who Lewis was actually backing. In an interview in his congressional office, Lewis said the decision to switch his support was a difficult one, a choice between a longtime friend and a little-known black man.
"I did it because I felt I had to support Mrs. Clinton because of our friendship," Lewis said. "But also I thought she was ready to lead. Lewis had placed a called to Clinton's office Wednesday morning but hadn't heard back from her. He also had a Please-Return-The-Call message of his own from Obama. By midday, he still hadn't returned it.

"It's been a long, hard and difficult struggle to come to where I am now," Lewis said.

Barack Obama Has The Experience !

During Barack Obama's first 8 years of legislative experience as State Senator of Illinois he sponsored over 820 bills. The numbers given here come directly from a New York Times compilation.

233 regarding health care and public health,125 on poverty and public assistance,112 crime fighting bills,97 economic bills,62 education bills,60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,21 ethics reform bills,20 environmental bills,6 military and veterans affairs, and many others.

In his first year in the U.S. Senate, Obama authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:
**Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. A bill to require full disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving Federal funds, S.2590 Sen. Coburn said on the Senate floor he introduced the bill for himself and Sen. Obama. Became Public Law No: 109-282. Sen. Clinton eventually added her name as a cosponsor.

**Lugar-Obama Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006, S.2566 The term “Lugar-Obama” is in the Senate record. The Lugar-Obama bill was included in the Department of State Authorities Act of 2006, Public Law No: 109-472, and was signed by President Bush in January 2007.
**Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 S.2611 Passed by Senate. While Sen. Obama was not a sponsor, he played a key role in the crafting of the immigration reform bill that the Senate passed before the 109th Congress adjourned; he offered three amendments that were included in the Senate bill.
In the 110th (current) Congress 2007:

**Lobbying and Ethics Reform Act of 2007, S.230 Obama’s Senate web site calls it “the Obama-Feingold bill.” These Senators introduced the bill to establish a “gold standard” for reform. This bill was sent to committee. The final bill that the Congress passed closely mirrored and drew key provisions from S 230, and Senator Obama helped author and lead the Senate to pass the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, Public Law No: 110-81.

**Nuclear Weapons Threat Reduction Act of 2007, S.1977 Sponsor: Sen. Obama, Barack [IL] (introduced 8/2/2007) Cosponsors (2) Title: A bill to provide for sustained United States leadership in a cooperative global effort to prevent nuclear terrorism, reduce global nuclear arsenals, stop the spread of nuclear weapons and related material and technology, and support the responsible and peaceful use of nuclear technology. Latest Major Action: 8/2/2007 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

He has done much more of course. This gives only part of Obama's Senate accomplishments. Don't be mislead by the distortion of truth. Barack Obama has the experience needed....For The Re-Birth of America.

BARACK OBAMA'S
100 PIECES OF LEGISLATION
