Why did Obama attend Farrakhan's Million man march?

Question

Farrakhan (Nation of Islam) isn't exactly a friend of America.

(And why weren't women allowed)

Answer 1

Farrakhan is Obama's hero.  He said so in his book.  What more can I say?  

If Obama said that he idolized Osama Bin Laden, would people overlook that too?  Most likely.
