The Obama Nation

This book is an insightful accounting that is only available to the few who sincerely want to know the character and moral compass of the man. The book was great reading; I couldn't put it down. The author's documentation is thorough and interesting in itself.

This good book is more excellent work by Dr. Corsi. Unfortunately for America, not enough people paid close enough attention to what Dr. Corsi was warning about when he wrote this book : and so we now have Mr. Obama as U. S. President. Maybe that fact makes this book even more important, for Americans need to be able to learn what Mr. Obama really is all about, and this book will help them to know about that. When readers are done with this excellent book of fact by Dr, Corsi, they perhaps should read a book presented as "fiction" which will be a good learning companion to this book. It is entitled "The Empress Project", and like Dr. Corsi's book, it is very instructive about the real world of American politics today, and about the dangers to freedom today in America posed by Hard-Left activists and political figures. The main character in "The Empress Project" is such a figure, just as Mr. Obama, the main chacter in this book by Dr. Corsi, is such a figure.The Empress Project

I'm glad I've finally purchased and read this book, negative comments notwithstanding. Reviewer Jonathan Kern correctly notes that its opening chapters dragged. But like him I found completing Corsi's book illuminating. Thanks to Mr. Kern, I needn't expend much energy reviewing FactCheck.org's supposed fact checking. He's correct: they did a rotten job, and the errors they found were indeed minor. Okay, so Barack Obama can't claim to be a Kenyan citizen (p. 103), since Kenya prohibits dual citizenship for anyone over 21. Big deal. Okay, so Obama's father was not a "Kenyan citizen" when he was born, as Kenya won independence only in December 1963, "when Obama was 2 years old." Ditto. Yet, the book is sufficiently accurate to threaten Kenya's corrupt government, which arrested Corsi without charge when he traveled there recently to promote it. Naturally, Obama didn't care. Corsi notes that Obama himself traveled to Kenya and lent critical support (inadvertently or not) to fellow Luo tribesman, Islamist ally and socialist Raila Odinga, who opposed the December 2007 election results. Yet Obama said little when Odinga's protests triggered riots by the Luo and his Muslim allies against Kenya's ruling Kikuyu people and 90% majority Christians, of whom hundreds were subsequently murdered in their homes and burned alive in churches. Odinga now shares power with Kikuyu President Kibaki in a government to which the former was not elected. I might have wanted less on Obama's family background, and more on his deeds, but could care less about why Corsi included the content he did---so long as it is accurate. And Corsi very well documents Obama's personal historical associations, and comments made by his former friends and family. Significantly, these facts are not questioned. In every past presidential election, the press has more or less carefully examined candidates' early life, associations, deeds, writings, statements and so on. Strangely, Obama has largely escaped this scrutiny from either broadcast or print media and periodicals---save those smeared as "conservative." In short, the major media have committed mass dereliction of professionalism and public duty. No doubt, Thomas Paine is churning in his grave. That's why the public desperately needs this book, which I recommend, despite some faults, to all U.S. voters. Reports of Obama's past should be known, not dismissed as false rumor, when they're largely accurate. I wish the book included details on Obama's relationship with Saudi businessman Khalid al-Mansour, who reportedly helped advance his application and acceptance at Harvard. But it raises lots of other good questions, like those one "conservative" columnist rhetorically asked before the Oct. 16 presidential debate: How old was Obama when he learned of the numerous bombings orchestrated by Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers when Barry was only eight and why, exactly, did he nevertheless associate with Ayers for man

Jerome Corsi's The Obama Nation is one of the most inappropriately maligned books that I've ever come across. The Obama campaign itself sent out a mass emailing asking its supporters to attack the author due to his being a "smear merchant." Since then they have practiced the same tactics with Stanley Kurtz. Such an opinion regarding both parties is totally inaccurate. Mr. Corsi definitely is a conservative who does not admire his subject but he has done no lying here. The Obama Nation is a deconstruction of what the Democratic nominee has written and said about himself in the past, and, as we would expect in regards to autobiographical commentary, there are many aspects of his life which run contrary to his own admissions. Part One, "Roots," examines the tale as told in Dreams from My Father and Corsi judges its plot misleading. We find that his father, Barack Obama Senior, was both a Marxist and a thoroughly damaged man while his mother was an eccentric utopian. That Obama was essentially abandoned as a child is an eventuality confirmed by David Mendell in his From Promise to Power but when Corsi says so it is deemed a slur. Moreover, Mr. Corsi never contends that Barack is a Muslim--what he states is that he spent several of his formative years in a Muslim home and attended numerous religious services there. Well, there's no harm in that. Further, he could hardly have had any choice in the matter given his youth, but the problem with "letting it go" is that this truth has been consistently denied by his campaign. Frank Marshall Davis, Obama's Hawaiian mentor, was a radical communist and this is a fact left out of the senator from Illinois's literary narrative, but it is one for which we are lucky Corsi uncovered. Obama's handlers do not want anyone focusing on his links to Antoin Rezko, William Ayers, and the black liberation theology of Reverend Wright and James Cone so we should not be surprised that they have chosen to character assassinate Corsi in the manner they have. The author predicted this would happen as on page 303 he presciently argued that the Obama campaign derides every criticism as a "smear" and every attack an instance of "swiftboating." They have done precisely that since this book was published. For readers who have just come across it, read the text for yourself and make up your own mind. Don't let political operatives tell you what to do. In my mind, The Obama Nation is a fabulous piece of history and certainly worth your time.

This is a book that every American must read. If one cares about truth and justice, especially when it comes to something as important as our Homeland, this book is a must read. It's informative and accurately documented. I am shocked that the press did not picked up on the revealing facts, and ways that the people are being manipulated in this country. Plus, it's easy reading. Thanks Corsi
