Product Description
Democratic National Convention. Soon after Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, author Jerome Corsi began researching Obama's personal and political background.Scrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, The Obama Nation is the result of that research. By tracing Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois legislature, his religious training and his adoption of Christianity through to his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisors and fundraising associates and his meteoric campaign for president, Jerome Corsi shows that an Obama presidency would, in his words, be "a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s."In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about: * Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father and step-father's Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn -- associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press. * Barack and Michelle's 20-year-long religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of former Trinity United Church of Christ Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have always been steeped in a rage first expressed by Franz Fanon , Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama. * Obama's continuing connections with Kenya, the homeland of his father, through his support for the candidacy of Raila Odinga, the radical socialist presidential contender who came to power amid Islamist violence and church burnings. * Obama's involvement in the slum-landlord empire of the Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko, who helped to bankroll Obama's initial campaigns and to purchase of Barack and Michelle's dream-home property. * The background and techniques of the Obama campaign's cult of personality, including the derivation of the words "hope" and change." * Obama's far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the Second Amendment, his determination to raise capital-gains taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal health care, and his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program. * Obama's na?ve, anti-war, anti-nuclear foreign-policy, predicated on the reduction of the military, the eradication of nuclear weapons and an overconfidence in the power of his personality, as if belief in change alone could somehow transform international politics, achieve nuclear-weapons disarmament and withdrawal from Iraq without adverse consequences, for us, for the Iraqis or for Israel.Meticulously researched and documented, The Obama Nation is the definitive source for information on why and how Barack Obama must be defeated -- not by invective and general attacks, but by detailed arguments that are well-researched and fact-based.

Jerome R. Corsi
Mr. Corsi is the author of several books, including "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" (along with John O'Neill), "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" (along with Craig R. Smith), "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," and most recently, "Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders."
And here he looks into Barack Obama's history, what little there is, and highlights how Obama's current rhetoric is hardly in synch with this man's past. As one of the most liberal US Senators and one who has been part of a "church" that seems more anti-American or more interested in wallowing in black resentment than worshiping God, Dr. Corsi isn't the only one wondering who Senator Obama really is. Obama's life is an interesting one, full of a number of achievements, but it is one that raises a number of questions about this man who is not far from occupying the Oval Office. In many ways, Senator Obama is an unknown quantity, well he is unknown for those who aren't interested in knowing anything about him. For some his rhetoric is more important than his deeds, beliefs, inclinations, history. Others who are interested in the latter would find this book by Dr. Corsi worthwhile, to see what an Obama White House might mean. Cheers

Corsi makes some interesting points in this investigation. While I think that Obama's ties to more radical Islamists is a bit overboard, I don't think Corsi even scratched the surface on how quickly and smoothly Obama dovetailed his way into the most corrupt political machine in the country. It cant be stressed enough that the intolerably corrupt Illinois State Senate leader Emil Jones is the biggest reason Obama is a US senator. His ties to Tony Rezko are fairly well known, even if the press does all it can to give Obama cover on this, and Corsi devotes a good deal of time cutting through the spin of Obama's "boneheaded" friendship.
This is not a fair and impartial take on the Obama narrative that Axlerod has built, but it's a good balance to the puff pieces and near idolatry that passes as journalism in the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and the Boston Globe (just to name a few).
 Looking for reasons to dislike Obama? August 14, 2008

This book is really hard to read for a person who doesn't have strong opinions about Obama. The author makes many many vague and hard-to-believe points without much evidence -- the target seems to be people who have decided to dislike Obama and are looking for some reasons to really hate him. It'll also surely provide outrage material for the pro-Obama camp.
If you are truly undecided about Obama, this book is not for you. It is for hard-core partisans. You'll find it hard to believe much of it and will not understand why the author is harping on certain points. You'll be much better off reading about his positions in respectable news sources.

Whether you support McCain or Obama, this book is complete junk. We voters deserve to get the objective truth about our candidates, so we can make the best possible choice for President in November. However, this book makes absolutely no attempt to be objective in any way, it is a low-class smear job masquerading as journalism. Do your homework voters, and research both candidates. But don't waste your time or money on trash like this. Oh, and btw, I'm a former republican who is appalled at what has happened to the values of that party.
If it's in print it must be true......right? August 13, 2008

This book is a blatent attempt to discredit Barack Obama, the author has made no bones about that. By simply stating "facts" in this book it will lead many to believe that what is printed is true. How many people will actually go and do the research to prove otherwise? That's all the author is hoping for. America, you're smarter than that I hope and will take this book for what it is, one man's opinion of a presidental nominee that he doesn't like.
