BREAKING NEWS: Nation of Islam Activists on Obama Camp Payroll, Exclusive by

Former insider worried by senator's connection to Louis Farrakhan, members of
radical group

JERUSALEM, June 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sen. Barack Obama employed and
continues to employ senior staffers who belong to the Nation of Islam, and the
presidential candidate has some "worrying" ties to the controversial group
headed by Louis Farrakhan, a former key Obama insider told AARON KLEIN, a
reporter for WORLDNETDAILY.COM.

The former insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed particular
concerned that Obama employed at least two Nation members in his early days as
a state senator, when his office was staffed by only a handful of workers.

"When you're a state senator, you have little money given to you to hire
staff. It is ironic that two of Obama's employees in those days were known
Nation of Islam activists when Obama employed perhaps a total of maybe three
or four staffers," said the former insider.

The former insider confirmed Obama is directly aware of the Nation of Islam
members on his staff.

Obama was elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, serving the 13th
district, which then spanned Chicago's South Side neighborhoods, including
areas in which Farrakhan was considered to be highly influential.

"A key constituency for Obama was Hyde Park, where Farrakhan lives. To be
successful politically in that area, you need to be involved with Farrakhan,
since he's a strong power in the district," said the former insider.

The former insider identified early employees of Obama as Nation of Islam
members, including Jennifer Mason, who still works in Obama's Chicago Senate
office as director of constituency services - a key community liaison
position.

Also, Cynthia K. Miller, whom the former insider identified as a Nation of
Islam activist, served Obama in his early state Senate days and later as
treasurer for his U.S. senatorial campaign.

Miller was also a paid consultant in 2003 and 2004, according to financial
documents obtained by WORLDNETDAILY.COM. She currently runs a Chicago real
estate firm.

The former insider said Obama asked indicted Chicago businessman and Obama
financier Tony Rezko to get his treasurer, Miller, a state government job with
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

"She got an offer but turned it down. She ended up doing real estate," the
ex-insider said.

The former insider also identified former Obama worker Shakir Muhammad as a
Nation of Islam activist. Muhammad was paid by Obama's office as a
photographer in the late 1990s.

According to a black supremacist source tied to Farrakhan, Muhammad previously
worked as a bodyguard for the Nation of Islam chief.
