This is a great book, written by an intelligent person, who has been maligned by the Obama campaign and the liberal left media because they did not want the book read. Unfortunately, I believe Obama was elected because the people who love him so much don't read. They don't even want to read his birth certificate.

I ONLY WISH MORE PEOPLE HAD READ THIS BOOK BEFORE THE ELECTION. ALTHOUGH, I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME. TOO MANY PEOPLE WERE TAKEN AWAY BY THE MYTH OF THIS PERSON. ALL I CAN SAY IS, "GOD HELP US ALL."

Contrary to what the far leftist pin heads say, this is a very informative book. Obama's mentors have virtually all been far leftist radicals if not blatant anti-white, and anti-American bigots such as the detestable Jeremiah Wright and Frank Marshall. Then we have darling wife Michelle Obama who, when not taking swipes at her fellow white classmates in her master's thesis also pledged to, "give all my resources to the black community first and foremost". The Obama's and their inner circle place more emphasis on black racial identity than on being American. How can people with this mindset fairly and effectively govern a nation that is 66% white and 15% Hispanic?

For those that think I'm being "racist" or too harsh this book contains some of Obama's memorable quotes from his book "Dreams From my Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance". Obama cites radical blacks Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X as influencing his worldview. Very sobering but then again it's hip to hate white people. If the "mainstream" media (ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC) were doing its job then books like this wouldn't be necessary.

Obama is probably the most unqualified person ever to seek the presidency. A community organizer is a polite description for a race baiter in the mold of Jesse Jackson. He's only served 143 days in the U.S. Senate and has not introduced or co-written any significant legislation.

The one issue I have with this book is the foreign policy chapter. Actually, Barack Obama has been very sensible about the proper role of the U.S. in foreign affairs. Corsi's thesis is that Obama's policy could jeopardize the national interests of Israel. Corsi should be reminded that a U.S. President's role is to advance U.S. interests and not those of a foreign nation. Corsi claims to be an independent but his policy views dovetail with the radical neoconservatives that have infested the Bush administration. This makes me question his claim of being independent and non-partisan.

Note: Most of the one star reviews are from Obama's true believers who haven't read the book and go into convulsions when anyone has the temerity to criticize our new "dear leader".

Obama is a great actor. He tricks people into thinking he cares about them, when in fact he is just another crafty politician with his own hidden agendas. So many people are being fooled and tricked into liking him that it is like a cult. Hitler had these same qualities, and look what happened. Please wake up people! Turn off the TV and turn back on your brain and don't be fooled. Ralph Nader 2012!!!!!

Got this book out of the garbage outside my apartment. Decided to take a look...it was in the right place. It's pure unadulterated GARBAGE. This man should not be getting paid to write books. He has no talent. He's obviously being supported by some rich, right wing lunatic who is using his money to slander anyone who doesn't fit into his own, small world. This book is a collection of lies, created to promote fear among people who don't read or watch anything on TV but reality shows. And, guess what folks? It didn't work! Hail to our newly elected President Elect!

propoganda, disputed over and over again on the obama's website. check out unfit for publication after reading this book, it's an eye opener.

It seems that the content of this book really doesn't matter to most of the reviewers. Amazon has unwittingly (or wittingly) just provided the Obama Maniacs a forum to vent their spleens. The few right wing reviewers seemed to like it.

Note to Amazon: Please require purchase of the book prior to reviewing!

While certainly there are interesting or troubling aspects of Obama's life that can and should be investigated independently of his autobiographies and those of left-leaning authors, unfortunately, this book does not serve as a proper counterweight; rather it is a shallow, dull, deceitful lump. I don't have the space or energy to go through all the particulars, but FactCheck.org probably sums up most of my feelings about this book with its article:
Corsi's Dull Hatchet
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/corsis_dull_hatchet.html

BTW, Mr. Corsi, when is President Bush going to come clean about his use of recreational drugs, military service, drunken driving arrest, ad naseum? Does hypocrisy even register on the far right anymore?

I'm not sure how republicans can accuse Obama of being nothing but a "cult of personality" politician and then rail against all his proposals as being "socialist." The key is, he has proposals, many of them, and while republicans don't agree with them and chose to brand them as socialist, republican candidates such as Sarah Palin are increasingly more common. Nothing but a lot of rhetoric and not a single coherent policy proposal. Pure cult of personality.

Written as factual for the simple-minded, gullible reader seeking ammunition to further fuel their fantasy.

That colored kid that the teacher slapped & sent to the Principals office years ago just because he said he wanted to be President of the US and was told by the Teacher "no nigg...(she mean't colored ) could ever be President of the US has surely been vindicated by God. Psalm 37 is so for real!!!!
Also, you Anti-abortion people who are secret racial haters hiding behind Abortion to justify your slander of PRESIDENT Elect Obama, Jesus said in Matthew 5:8 that hatred in the heart is equal to murderers!!!!! So you are all murders in the eyes of Jesus if I were you I would repent right now because you will answer to God one day! Jesus said it, so if you are mad about this take it up with him, but you already know you are no match!!!!

Contrary to some of the one star reviews, this book is sited very well. I knew a lot about what was written in the book before I read it. What the book did do is fill in a lot of gaps, and give well detailed info about the most corrupt president to be. The book goes into detail about his muslim upbringing, as well as the truth about his piece garbage polygamist father. Obama has tried to keep his past hidden from the country. This book helps shed some light on his disgusting past. I guess we can not blame Obama. He has pulled the biggest snowjob in the history of this country. We know nothing about this guy, except he has done nothing in congress, but voted him in anyway. You wanted extreme socialism america. You got it. Bottom line, the books agenda was to tell us about a man we know nothing about, and did it in tremendous fashion. It is unfortunate that the 50 percent of americans that do not pay income tax, were permitted to vote. If the welfare crowd could not vote, he would not have had a chance.

The sources for Barack Obama's slandering are poor and link to this mans own blog. All false, or exaggerated about our President-elect.

The book seems to be for people who are devoid of reality and have no interest in actual facts. The book is devoted to smearing and spreading disinformation. Now that you know what the book is about, feel free to buy if if you are easily entertained and amused by made-up stories that have no basis in fact.

Despite all the negative public news media hype about this book, Corsi has written a very well-documented and hard-hitting critical account of the life, times, practices, and philosophies of U.S. Senator, and current Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama. Whether or not you are an Obama fan, you should read this book before going to the polls on election day.

Corsi started with Obama's childhood and showed how Obama has, like all of us, been influenced by his early years and family upbringing. Corsi continued his analysis by researching Obama's college and early adult years. With this background, Corsi made a very compelling case that Obama's actions and decisions from community organizer to Illinois and U.S. Senator can be directly tied back to the things and people that influenced him in his past. Corsi also described the many challenges he encountered trying to find consistent and accurate facts and biographical information about Obama and his relationships, experiences, and political positions.

The Barack Obama that Corsi describes and documents is much different than the Barack Obama that you see and hear in the public news media. One can argue that the truth probably lies somewhere between those two extremes. The only way to know whether you agree or disagree with Corsi is to read the book and come to your own conclusions.

A very revealing investigation regarding the candidate's background. If I had waited around a couple of days before ordering, I probably would have learned of and chosen what may have been an even better one in "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Fredosso.

This book is simply a personal attack.

The critique was as vicious as it was irrelevant.

Had the author submitted this in fulfillment of his dissertation it would have been struck down as containing only anecdotal evidence for his argument.

This book is a great read, well-researched and detail-oriented, Corsi is not hesitant to discuss many issues the media steers away from and offers an in depth analysis of Obama's past decisions and affiliations.

"The Obama Nation" is such a possibility that American's should do their research. Know who you're voting for, and why he is drawing people in...is it because he's qualified? Or is it because he's just that - charasmatic? Is Obama honest? Or what is the driving force behind him that has gotten him where he is? What it is about Obama that sucks intelligent people in without questioning?

If Obama becomes the next President of the United States; what are the American People in for? If you read anything this year, read "The Obama Nation".

There will always be skeptics and nonbelievers. In "The Obama Nation," Dr. Corsi makes clear he is no believer and harbors suspicions about any messianic figure that appears out of nowhere and builds a fervent following. He warns that misplaced hope is naive and dangerous. He has doubts about any unifying movement that is galvanized by a cult of personality. He has doubts about connections, backgrounds, associations, hidden agendas, oblique messages, word origins, trust faith dreams peace hope change . . . Dr. Corsi certainly is full of doubt.

It's understandable to show doubt in the face of forces we cannot comprehend. Even Jesus had a Doubting Thomas. Which makes me wonder how Dr. Corsi would respond if Jesus returned and decided to run for the U.S. Presidency? Surely Corsi would target even Him as "unfit" and radical. There would be questions, distrust and anger. There would certainly follow a book that would show us why He is not to be believed and the extreme leftism of a Jesus presidency must be defeated.

In this stunning new book, the reader will learn about:
- the supernatural origin of the Son of Man and His true paternity and nationality
- His early years spent in exile and living among Arabs in a foreign country
- the beginnings of His political (religious) career and His challenges to orthodoxy and traditional ideas
- His advisers and questionable associates, including a well-known criminal preacher, tax collectors and prostitutes and other "lowlife" people, and even several visits from the Devil (special interest lobbyist)
- His meteoric rise among the people by using "words" and miracles to develop a cult following (Corsi will debunk these "miracles" as pseudo-science, mass hypnosis or mind control)
- new information about the "missing years" that Jesus spent in India and Tibet, from age thirteen to age twenty-nine, being indoctrinated by Buddhist monks and Hindu holy men (Google: Nicolas Notovitch)
- His naive vision of antiwar (peace) "as if belief in change alone could somehow transform" hearts and minds to embrace peace, good will toward men
- why He is perceived to be a threat - and why this movement must be stopped - for He is called a traitor, and plots to overthrow the temple and install a new religious order (treason). Why He is labeled a fanatic and terrorist so extreme that even the crowds call out to "crucify him!"
- that the Resurrection never happened and was, in fact, a hoax. By citing extensive footnotes (more than 600), Corsi will have you believe that not only did Jesus not die on the cross, He survived, was spirited away to India where He continued to preach, was married, raised a family, died naturally at age 102, and is buried in Roza Bal shrine (ironically, it's maintained by Sunni Muslims) in Srinagar, Kashmir.

Impossible? To support this revelatory new idea Corsi has uncovered incriminating evidence from a wealth of material: references to hundreds of articles and books (Roza Bal: The Tomb of Jesus), Google Search results ("Roza Bal," "Jesus in India," "Yuz Asaf," "Jesus in Kashmir"), BBC documentaries, and even an upcoming motion picture ("Jesus in India"). He'll even have interviews with members of the Ahmadiyya Movement, a sect within mainstream Islam that believes, as one of their core tenets, that Jesus died in Kashmir of old age while seeking the Lost Tribes of Israel. He will claim to have met Sahibzada Basharat Saleem, a former caretaker of Roza Bal who held genealogical tables that link him as a direct descendant of the sage buried there. Finally, after bludgeoning you with all these "facts" and scrupulously sourced footnotes (more than 600), you will have no choice but to accept his conclusions as "the truth" and face the implications of Dr. Corsi having just debunked two thousand years of Christian doctrine and exposing that Jesus was just a man and his lineage is actually Muslim!

My point here, of course, is to demonstrate that in any witch-hunt you are seduced into accepting the material at face value, no questions asked, no cross-referencing, no effort to comprehend the big picture. Only the names change. There's easily as much evidence of Jesus in India as there is of Obama being . . . well, whatever it is Corsi thinks he is. But there's an inherent problem: Corsi has led you astray, distracted you with ephemera and oversimplified, cherry-picked "facts." He obscures meaning and prejudices your ability to discern what's really at stake - the truth.

Here is the truth: some truths are unknowable. Contrary to what Dr. Corsi exhorts, it's simply not always black-and-white. There's a gray area between veracity and faith, and human truths always have two sides. In this realm, Dr. Corsi and his "facts" and footnotes have no relevance. He is rendered tangential and his arguments immaterial. So, after all the half-truths, innuendo, misdirection and obfuscation, the selected media that's been taken out of context and shoehorned into an agenda; after all the distortions, fear, bigotry, intolerance and anger, you are left distracted and confused. You arrive at an existential moment of choice.

It then becomes difficult to come to terms with our own beliefs, whether it's the complex implications of Roza Bal, or which presidential candidate to select. Because the stakes are so high this time, we must be willing to keep an open mind and see beyond the contrived perceptions of what is true.

Here is the truth: Barack Obama, after all, is just a man. He's not the Messiah, not the Second Coming, not the One, not the Mahdi; he's not Jesus. He is not an Arab and will not convert us all to Islam, nor will he turn the White House into a mosque. Nor will he bring Marxism, Trotskyism, Socialism, Communism; he won't bring Anarchism, Fascism, Nazism or fill-in-the-blank-ism. We won't become a welfare state waiting for our government handout; there will be no class struggle. A race war will not be ignited, and it will not be the end of Western Democracy.

He's just a man, one ordinary man with an extraordinary dream of resurrecting American potential. A man of strength, poise and grace. An eloquent politician with a sincere vision of peace and unity and that complex problems can be met with calm intelligence and civilized, rational discourse. A natural leader who inspires hope and believes there exists within us the possibility for positive change. Still, just a man.

It's understandable to show doubt in the face of forces we cannot comprehend. To have questions. The issues are complex, but, in the end, does it matter if Jesus lived in India? It would not alter our opinion of the man or the message. Just like the "truths" manufactured by Corsi in Obama Nation; it changes nothing.

Here is the truth: the basic ideas that are brought about by any visionary that have positive universal applications in our daily lives can never be destroyed. The words of change, the message of hope and the idea of redemption will endure. We should not be frightened, instead, we should embrace the opportunity to witness the rebirth of optimism.

Sometimes, you just have to put your foot on the water (Matthew 14:29-31) and if your faith is strong, you will not sink. You need to believe, to trust your own heart that, in any defining moment, despite all evidence to the contrary, we can begin to transform the world in such a way as to bring a little bit more of heaven to earth. It's not a religious leap of faith, or a gut feeling, but a calm, intellectual choice; it's an acceptance. It's not blind faith in a man, but in the transcendence of the idea.

There will always be those frightened by the prospect of change. Those who are shackled by parachronistic thinking that denies the possibility of transformation. Those who wish to crucify hope, to deny that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and work for it, and fight for it. There will always be those doomed, deluded and misguided souls convinced they have all the answers.

After all, Jesus had the Pharisees; we have Jerome Corsi.

Corsi gets straight to the point with direct and well-researched material that should give all Obama supporters pause.
Obama is an enigma and probably the most dangerous person to ever run for president.

Corsi has written a well-researched and well-sourced examination of the history of Sen. Obama. It's amazing the level of attack against the author for doing so. I think that alone should make this book highly recommended reading, so that one can gauge not only the quality of a the man running for office but also the conduct of his campaign organization and what's really going on in our public discourse.

I'm on board with Corsi's logic and conclusions about 90% of the time. Despite just a few instances of what seemed to me to be flightiness, he covers many aspects of Obama's personal story deeply and well. And it's amazing just how vaguely that story has been presented by Obama himself, and how difficult it is to get at the truth.

The one thing Corsi does not take into account as he builds his insightful final case for how difficult it will be for Obama to secure the presidency, is that the media is playing a preemptive role in advancing Obama while obscuring the liability of his personal history. The occasional fleeting coverage the media has done of Obama's incendiary past has been sufficiently superficial so as only to inoculate most of the public from the reality of the story. And of course Corsi couldn't foresee the depths of the financial meltdown we have experienced.

Thus it is possible that Obama will ride into the Oval Office on a wave of emotion, and buyer's remorse will set in only too late as the public wakes up. This is exactly what happened with Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, who also ran an impressionistic "the man is the message" campaign. Patrick's campaign, by the way, was also conceived and executed by Obama's own top man, David Axelrod.

This book is in demand. I just returned my copy to the library, and there are 20 holds on the book in my small suburban area. I hope it's not too late, for even if this book were only half true, America would be in a terrible lot of trouble should Obama be elected.

The author's documentation of Obama's early life is impressive. And he does find clear indicators of how Obama might act as President. Most of the facts uncovered indicate that he would govern like a left-winger. Recent statements by Obama support this conclusion. The stock market has set various kinds of negative records crashing and Obama continues to talk about taxing small businesses to "spread the wealth around". He refuses to back off his planned capital-gains tax. It is crazy to increase taxes in a recession. A pragmatist would not do it. These policies are bound to deepen the recession. And all economists have not with certainty ruled out the possibility of a depression.
The latter part of the book you will already be familiar with if you watch cable news and listen to political talk shows on a regular basis.

This book highlights, from Obama's early life in Hawaii and Indonesia to the recent primary battle with Hillary Clinton, why he would be a dangerous person to be President of the United States. Barack Obama is all about himself. Corsi leaves the reader with some somber realizations about a man who could be in the White House, and why the liberal media refuses to look into his life.

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?

Didn't Ayers and his Charles Manson celebrating wife usher Obama into politics at a private home party for Chicago bigwigs?

Did Barack Obama attend "Black Value System" indoctrination courses required of all other congregants after joining Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racist Chicago Trinity church for 20 years?

How much did Obama receive from Antonin Rezko, his corporation and Nahdmi Auchi, his Iraqi best arms-dealing buddy?

Did Obama know Wright's sermons closely resembled those of bona fide anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan?

In 2006, what "fact finding" advantage fell to Illinois voters from Obama's visit to Kenya's Odinga, again?
Why did Barack Obama support learn, practice and teach agitating tactics of communist Saul Alinsky?

Too many voters dogmatically refuse to read (much less genuinely consider questions raised by) any publication labeled "conservative," despite the currently meaningless, destructive nature of the term.

Let's recall, the "conservative" appointees lost the U.S. Supreme Court case when the bench's "liberal" majority legitimized seizure of private property by eminent domain to benefit commercial corporate development. Surely, whatever else liberty and pursuit of happiness might be, they include the right to own personal property, barring criminal and moral decrepitude, and protect it from government seizure.

The election has not yet occurred, October 16 debate night polls not withstanding, and voters can still do themselves and the U.S. a favor by reading Obama Nation.

The election has not yet occurred, October 16 debate night polls not withstanding, and undecided voters can still do themselves and the U.S. a favor by reading Obama Nation.

I noticed that the hollywood "liberals", who submit one star reviews for this book, don't actually attempt to refute the facts presented. I bought this book because I was interested to learn more about Obama's relationships with the communist terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, the Afro-Marxist Jeremiah Wright, and the racist loon Michael Pfleger. Well, guess what, there are even more rogues in Obama's gallery! These include Frank Marshall Davis, Alice Palmer, and Saul Alinsky. When Obama was in high school, attending the private Punahou School, Frank Marshall Davis was apparently Obama's father figure, and "mentor". He was also a communist, having actually joined the Communist Party USA in the 1930s, when it was funded and controlled by Joseph Stalin's COMINTERN. I can easily imagine that Davis' rhetoric about the communist "workers paradise" made Jeremiah Wright's rantings seem tame. I went to high school during the late 1960's, when Lyndon Johnson, a liberal Democrat, was presiding over his draft for the Vietnam War. I sure as hell was not associating with communists! All of these associations illustrate, as best, Obama's astonishingly poor judgement; at worst it suggests that his core beliefs are on the far-left. Four years ago, I bought "Unfit for Command", by Jerome Corsi and John O'Neill. I understand that John Kerry is still working on his rebuttal!

Based upon an in depth research basis of all of Obama's history and tracking his decision making from the beginning, the reader is allowed to understand the beginning and how he got to where he is.
This is a story of the evolution of Barrack Obama and the entire big picture.
The information is presented in such a way that an undecided voter can see what the man has done and is doing. It gives an idea of how this country would look after 4 years of the Obama regime. We need to ask ourselves - are we better off than we were?
The book does celebrate that we are finally evolved as a country to realize that the color of our skin does not determine the measure of the man.

There is one simple playbook for election in America: give the worthless and excuse for being lazy and unproductive and then promise to use the strength of the government to take "back" what the useless were "supposed" to have received. FDR ushered in the Great Vacation when he promised something for nothing to these people and now they act like the country was founded on having the wealthy supporting the worthless.

To you who are so quick to excuse Ayers, let's see you take that same stand when Charles Manson is up for parole (he is in three years). Then I want to hear you say "Hey, it was back in the 60's! He's not dangerous anymore. He was just voicing his anger at being repressed by the government. He's respectable now." And I dare you Ayers-sympathizers to formally come out and admit that you are as glad as he is that we were bombed on 9/11. What are you afraid of? Just admit that you, too, hate America for rewarding the productive and leaving you behind to beg for handouts from the useful.

The truth is simple: Hussein Obama is the new/old America, where the aristocrats hand down the law to the low-lifes, who happily stay in line until they feel they are not getting "enough" for free. Then we throw them another bone and they shut up and let us run the show for four more years. Obama is no change. He is the same tired politician. The only thing different about Hussein Obama is that he has actually convinced most of you that he is, in fact, different. Yawn...

On november 4th, just keep reading all the talking points and the posters, because that's all you need to trouble your empty little heads about. Just keep your minds closed and your wallets open, and vote yourselves a free lunch. Don't worry. Those of us who are worth something will throw you a little extra of our scraps. And you can return to the Osama alter to heal all your needs. The One will help, because His love is eternal. And His cup runneth over with the taxes of the productive. And He will take care of your every need. It has worked before. Just ask Stalin.

Anyone who earns a real income, or just takes pride in the value of their work should be smart enough to see the shakedown and vote against this fraud. If you don't, don't say I didn't warn you. Just keep up hope. The First Great Depression wasn't much more than a decade. And your kids will understand. You can always put them to sleep at night with bedtime stories of how you and your underachieving friends finally overthrew 200 years of oppression by the greatest society the world has ever known. They'll sleep well, even if you don't.

Eye opening and scary that this man is near the presidency. I believe that statements were back up with unquestionable proof.

It is more than a little unsettling that a partisan hack piece, such as this book of little journalistic merit, can get published. Savaging a candidate in a pseudo-scholarly format may fool some, but only a small amount of independent investigation puts the lie to Mr. Corsi's "research". Please, if you must read this drivel, simply remind yourself that it is simply a fictitious account of a man whom the right-wing hacks want to destroy.

Corsi and his ilk have minds that are lower than the regurgitated filth of vultures.
By the way this man is hideous inside and out. Ugghh.

This is a fantastic read and documents Obama's past. A must read for anyone who is looking for facts, not media biased coverage, of Obama. The references are clear and consise, allowing the reader to know where the information came from and frankly helps underscore connections inside the USA, ie William Ayers and Rezko, and outside the USA.
Make no mistake the biased media calls Obama a supporter of populism, which is simply political correctness speak for a socialist. And also make no mistake, the Kenyan's detaining Corsi is just a tip of the Chicago "thug" approach to politics. Obama won his first election by "eliminating" the opponents and now Obama's Kenyan friends are trying the samme approach of eliminating free speech via intimidatation.. Thank God we live in the USA with Free Speech ....

The african-born, Hawai'i bred phony Barak
Nobama wants to be Pres. The problem is we
are ending an eight year bout with another
99-i.q idiot. Can we afford another? I think
not. This expose is well timed and knowing
that an outstanding Constitution Party aut-
hor wrote makes me beleive the contents. Bravo!

This book is total tripe, but at least it gives all those false patriots and lily-livered racists something on which to hang their panties. The deep fears and insecurities that plague these folks are what makes them so willingly to lap this stuff up, but it's still amazing. I would know no sooner go into battle with guys like these than allow my daughter to marry one. I understand that guys like Corsi and the male reviewers who agree with him do so because they've never been able to get over the fact that God cursed them with a small penis and an inability to satisfy a woman even if they could get one. It's women like Palin for whom I just don't get all of the anger and fear. Stupid is as stupid does; once an idiot, always an idiot...

Notice the history of the author. He wrote the entirely discredited fabric of lies about John Kerry's heroic service to his country. All the effort to describe his so-called research and accuracy is itself a lie. Keep in mind that the author, a Kenyan, is of the opposing tribe to that of Obama's father. This is a panicked attempt to discredit a man of great stature and integrity.

I would give this book negative stars if that was an option. I was completely appalled in reading this book of all the lies and cruel accusations that were swung in Obama's direction. No politician in perfect, as we all know, but Corsi's borderline racist descriptions of the man are inaccurate and incredibly bias. This book is a disgusting piece of propaganda written by an equally disgusting and deluded man.

This is a great book. It is an important book. Except for those actively interested in destroying the United Staes (the left, Moslems and/or fools) no one who reads this book can vote for Obama. He is more than a Manchurian candidate who, in the movie at least, was an unwilling pawn who ultimately did the right thing, he is an evil, truly dangerous man without scruples who will gladly destroy all that is beneficient. A very wise person once asked me whether North Korea or South Korea is the success. A sane person should say that South Korea is the success. Obama and those who worship him would say no, that it is bleak, starving North Korea that makes a fool of the US and has elevated a mere politician to the staus of a god, no, not a god but the god who is worshipped and obeyed. If you would prefer to worship a very flawed man go ahead and vote for barak HUSSAIN obama. If you would prefer to be a free and sentient human being, vote for whoever opposes him. Thank you Dr. Corsi. May many read and understand that you are bringing us the tools to fight the good fight. Great book by a great American. Please come home safe from Kenya.

Fearmongering is all this book is about lets take just one of these fears the book is predicting: associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn. Obama was a 4 year old child in the 60's when the couple was part of the Weather Underground. However, William Ayers now work as a professor at a college here in the USA. Plus when is it that we as American stoped giving a person a chance to change and see another side of a option? Ayers saw that the war was wrong druing the 60's(Vietnam war) and he was right at that. You will like reading this book in my option if you like to read a badly written horror movie that is fictional(mostly made-up).

I knew there was more to Obama than what you hear on TV and read in his books. Everyone needs to read this book before making a decision at the polls in November. It's down right scary to learn of Obama's past relationships and the truth's that the media has left untouched. I had no idea what a redical he really was until reaing this book. Read it for yourself and you will understand.

Of some value to Democrat strategists in that it is the basic Republican playbook for the 2008 election.

The Republicans have failed dismally in office over the last eight years - here are just some of their failures: the abject failure to capture Bin laden (mainly because he "magically" morphed into Saddam Hussein then morphed again more recently into Obama's scary but imaginary likeness - the one discussed in this book - Osama bin biden); the series of lies that facilitated the entry into the Iraq war; the abject failure of that war which - despite claims about "surges" and so on - a full five years later the US finds itself bogged down in with a huge cost to lives, money and morale; the trashing of the US constitution; the incredible way in which the Republicans managed to trash the international consensus and support for the US immediately after September 11 resulting in the current situation where the US is considered to be a bad international citizen and something approximating a rogue state (in other words more than a complete failure of international leadership on the US's part); the extraordinary incompetence of Republican appointees in government agencies (the spectaclar failure in relation to Hurricane Katrina only the most visible); the unprecedented failure of oversight of the economy resulting in the the current economic melt-down.

McCain/Palin represent nothing more than a continuation of these failed policies and actions. Despite all the maverik/outsider posturing, neither has explained how they think differently or will do anything different from the way Republicans have handled things over the last eight years.

As a result of their policy failures, the only play the Republicans have left for this election is the attempt to smear their opponent. This book is written by a Republican shrill who - surprise surprise - wrote an anti-Kerry book for the 2004 election (the fact that Corsi has even written a book trying to claim that oil is an infinitely renewable energy source tells you everything you need to know about his judgement!). The book does usefully outline various Republican "talking points" in their pathetic attempts to divert the conversation from their own spectacular failure in government.

It doesn't really matter that the stories in this book are either entirely either fictitious or, at best, "spin" various stories about Obama so he appears in the worst light possible: the book's aim is to cause confusion and uncertainty in the electorate.

In undereducated and racist communities, the smears might be of some value to the Republicans election hopes. Overall though this book amply demonstrates that Republicans have got nothing to offer the US electorate aside from fear, greed, racism, and failure.

This book is correct. Obama submitted to the senate in november 2007 his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program. Please contact your Senators and tell them you are against this. The US has never been taxed by a foreign nation since we won our independence. and the UN waste billions of money worse than our own government.

This book is so full of extreme prejudices, half truths, fear mongering, and twisted facts, I am surprised it is published as non-fiction.

It seems more like a satire on right-wing politics. Jerome R. Corsi is the Archie Bunker of this decade. Some people loved Archie and agreed with everything he said. Most knew his views were an exaggerated caricature of a prejudiced, out of touch man. (Look at some of his other books and you can see some of his other rantings.)

Its a shame more people don't actually learn the facts behind things. This is certainly the case here, as anyone with a spare 30 seconds could quickly find that this book, according the highly-reputable [...], is "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods."

[...]

"Corsi cites opinion columns and unsourced, anonymous blogs as if they were evidence of factual claims. Where he does cite legitimate news sources, he frequently distorts the facts. In some cases, Corsi simply ignores readily accessible information when it conflicts with his arguments."

There's more to read there, and its pretty disturbing that such a complete and total hack job could have a book on the NYT best seller's list.

Read with all the salt in India.

Why hasn't the Obama people said anything about this book? I know a lot of Democrats that don't want him to win .......... and have a lot of political connections, but are between a rock and a hard place and are supporting him even though he's not qualified.

Wake up people before its took late. He's not who he pretends to be.

I don't believe anyone who gave this 1 star--actually READ this well-documented, totally researched, awesomely detailed book.
I suspect the Obama-Robots logged on just to 'diss' this book--just like they've been going to Homeless Shelters in Ohio--to get the 'numbers' up!?
Reading this book was a TOTAL eye-opener.
I changed political parties (was a Democrat for 30 years) andwill vote accordingly.
WHY?
I'm dismayed at the way the entire DNC and the Mainstream Media has ignored and brushed aside so much about this candidate (Get All the details by reading this book!) Any Conservative, aka, Republican, would have been dropped from the ticket, in a heartbeat, if they had HALF this much 'bad' history!
StephanieThe Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality

Jerome Corsi has provided a very insightful work on the Politician We are evaluating as potentially the next President of Our United States. There are many questions on Mr. Obama that is not being provided thru normal channels.
It is insightful and very helpful in understanding Who Senator Obama really is beyond his campaign generated persona.

I read this book after reading Obama's memoirs in an attempt to obtain a fuller understanding of him. As I was reading Corsi's book, I had the troubled feeling that either he was not telling the truth or that Obama was not telling the truth. While one can discount what Obama says in his autobiography, it is difficult to imagine that Obama does not believe he espoused in Audacity of Hope. I have since read MANY who state that Corsi is an outright liar and that much of what he states in this book is WRONG. There is much proof of Corsi's lies. These are lies propagated solely for the benefit that the republicans win the presidency (just as Corsi wrote the Swift Boat book to discredit Kerry). I wonder how he gets away with this trash. This book is a waste of money and time.

This is a quote from a 5-star review, infact the first one in the review sections.

"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."

Obviously if you read the titles listed, this author only has one thing in mind, preventing a democrat from reaching the white house. He approach is to feed you lies, and half-truths. Want proof: This book has been reviewed by liberal, conservative, and "neutral" sources as stretching and bending the truth way out of proportion.

You claim to think for yourself, but for once do your own research, and not take Corsi's word for it.

The author Jerome Corsi states at the beginning of this book that he is not biased nor does he support John McCain because Corsi is a member of the Constitution Party. He however, forgets this later in his book where he strategizes what Senator McCain needs to do to win the general election in November.

Aside from not more openly admitting bias, 'The Obama Nation' is extremely well referenced and minimizes rhetoric. Although he keys in on a few seemingly insignificant pieces of background information, he brings to light countless aspects of Senator Obama's political career that I'm sure Obama would have rather not had in the spotlight.

This is a well written and well organized work worthy of reading by any who feel that Senator Barack Obama has not been investigated or vetted by the media who so readily supports his campaign which lacks true substance.

I would have given the book 5 stars had Corsi not gone over the top by pinging small faults such as Obama's smoking habit, and stretched ties to Iraqi Terrorist financial capitol from which he was separated by at least three degrees. He had enough ammunition to publish the book without reaching that far, so that took away some credibility in my eyes. The work still racks up 4 stars in my book though.
