Product Description
From the Publisher:
In this thoroughly researched and documented book, the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry explains why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished and divided, why Obama must be defeated?and how he can be. THE OBAMA NATION Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality Barack Obama stepped onto the national political stage when the then-Illinois State senator addressed the 2004 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 naive, 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.

Finally the Truth is getting past the Biased media ... October 10, 2008 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 ....
What the closet racists have been looking for... October 10, 2008 0 out of 6 found this review helpful
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...
Great Book Tells The Facts October 9, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
A bucket of lies October 9, 2008 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
Another attempt to swift-boat a presidential candidate October 9, 2008 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
