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.

A Bunch of Lies October 4, 2008 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
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.
Well referenced, but not short on bias either... October 3, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
Should be required reading for high school and college October 2, 2008 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
Riveting story. The information is well referenced and credible. I am wondering why we have not heard a peep from the Obama campaign about this book? Why is it that the only way I heard anything about this book was because I listen to conservative talk radio? Hmm. None of my liberal friends have a clue about any of the information the author has shared with us. My friends generally get their information from the mainstream media who are obviously biased toward Obama. There were a few places in the book that I felt the author judged a bit more than the information allowed and that being said I think he was fair in his assessments overall. His portrayal of "The Emperor Has No Clothes-Obama" is very intriguing and right on the mark.
Obama nation October 2, 2008 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
In reveiwing this or any book you have to take the word of the author, Here Corsi does a very , very creditable job in his research. If you have any doubts about Obama they are quickly dispelled in this very believable book.I am biased, before reading the book Obama was no way my choice. After reading it I have to go campaining for McCain.
A must read for voters! October 1, 2008 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Dr. Corsi's work is extremely well referenced. As a matter of fact he goes above and beyond in supporting what he states. He cites examples of Obama's speeches, his books, newspapers, friends, and family. He clearly points out Obama's Muslim and Marxists associations. This is essential in understanding who Obama is. From Communist Frank Marshall Davis to radical Bill Ayers, Obama is drawn to and influenced by people such as these. From this preponderance of evidence, one wonders why Obama does not address it instead of running from it. Maybe there is an explanation, but it will not be forthcoming in campaign mode. The Obama Nation is an exemplary work.
