Product Description
bp align="center"In this thoroughly researched and documented book, the #1 INew York Times/i bestselling co-author of IUnfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry/i 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./bPBarack 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.PScrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, IThe Obama Nation/i 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."PIn this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about:ul liObama'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./li liBarack 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./li liObama'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./li liObama'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./li liThe background and techniques of the Obama campaign's cult of personality, including the derivation of the words "hope" and change."/li liObama'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./li liObama'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./li/ulPMeticulously researched and documented, IThe Obama Nation/i 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.

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."
 Counter Point to Pro-Obama Media Coverage November 15, 2008

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? br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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!!!!!
 Garbage! November 12, 2008

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!

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: br /Corsi's Dull Hatchet br /http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/corsis_dull_hatchet.html br / br /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? br /
