Journalist kept quiet about photo of Obama with Nation of Islam leader

News photographer kept this 2005 photo of Obama & Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan secret for Obama's entire political career because it would have “made a difference” to Obama’s political future. pic.twitter.com/zLIgp9WZrR — Benny (@bennyjohnson) January 25, 2018

A long-hidden photo of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama posing at a congressional caucus meeting with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan was revealed Thursday — roughly 13 years after it was taken.

The journalist who snapped the pair at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005, Askia Muhammad, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy” out of concern that it could have “made a difference” and damaged Obama’s political future.

“After the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was president, it was kept under cover,” Muhammad said. “It absolutely would have made a difference.”

Never posted on FR. And all along I've been associating Hussein with his BBF, American terrorist, Bill Ayers. How about that.

How could a picture with Screwy Louie damage Obama?

Both are Jew hating bastids. And a whole lot of other similarities.

Replace “nation of Islam” with “bathhouse hooker” and you could write the same article.

“Journalist” is code for “Democrat operative.”

And his Jew hating "reverend" Jeremiah Wright. Like Clint Eastwood said,"Barack Obama is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people." And these mofos today who bash Trump relentlessly day in day out, worship Obama like a God.

So... Obama is bad.
We’re learning about this in 2019?
Really?
You didn’t know this until today?

Bet you’ll be shocked about the cold during the ice ages too.

Bonehead.

It wouldn’t. It didn’t matter that O’muslim had no legal U.S. documentation, nothing on his resume, hated America, hung out in bathhouses, hung out with domestic terrorists...The fakestream media were determined to make that marxist muslim enemy combatant ‘commander in chief’.

Maybe. This is the NY Post from January. I've seen the pic. Knew nothing else about it. I'm hoping this one gets by the censors. Who should I call?

The lame street media turned every error in judgement he made into a miracle and every success Pres. Trump made into a failure. Most of lame street media outlets, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times and Washington Post to name a few would have died in bankruptcy if not for billionaires like Bezos and Soros.

Please: NO profanity, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS, NO racism or violence in posts.

C’mon, humbleG.

Unnecessary, uncivil, petty, vindictive, reply.

Is that all you got?

You seem to be somewhat of a ‘bonehead’ at times...

this kind of stuff we KNEW in our hearts....just like we knew about the Toons from early on....

but to hear some of this exposed now, I could care less....

the American people of old would have known better than to elect TWICE a high end grifter and then elect TWICE a fancy mack daddy of dubious charcter let alone smarts and who's best friend he vacationed with was not his "wife" but his buddy Reggie....

as Rush has said, America can survive the toons and the mack daddy but we can't survive the people who support them....
