The Obama Nation

Scrupulously sourced with more than six hundred 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 fund-raising 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's and stepfather'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 Bernardine Dohrn”associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press Barack and wife Michelle's twenty-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 Frantz Fanon, Stokely Carmichael, and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama

NJ writes:Well, I just read a small biography of the man and can only conclude something similar. Although I am certain that much of what the book entails is true, perhaps some embarrassing idiosyncrasies, an extreme bias is also not something I am interested in.

Modulous writes:I appreciate that you don't doubt that Frank is Mr Davis, but 'well established fact'? Can you care to go beyond simply saying as much and establish it for me? If the establishment is so well, it should be trivial, yes?Further, this ignores the rather important point that the relationship with "Frank" as described in Obama's book does not seem to be the kind of relationship (eg., mentor, father figure etc) peddled by Corsi et al.

Although Davis does not appear to have been a constant figure in his early life, Obama in his 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father," presents Davis ” referred to in the book only as Frank ” as an important influence who gave him advice about race and college.

Kongstad writes:You have yet to come up with a single argument as to why this book is not just as much of a hack job as the earlier book the author was ossociated with (the swift boat debacle)

kongstad writes:I haven't read the book. But I believe I refuted your argument that if Obame had a socialist as a mentor, then Obama must have marxist leanings.So we can agree that whether Frank was a socialist or not, this has no bearing on whether Obama harbours marxist leanings, yes?

Rrhain writes: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Then you have a problem as Obama has never been a Muslim.Of course, we have another problem:Why do you care if he is?

Jaderis writes:What exactly are the Obama policies which include a "redistribution of wealth to the extent that socialist regimes have gone in the past" especially one equivalent to what we "witnessed in the days of the USSR?"Just one example will do (and, of course, the explanation as to why it is even remotely comparable to former Soviet policies or even to other far left policies of current countries).

Since when has something 'heavily lawyered' necessarily been accurate? Furthermore, if Obama wanted to sue for libel, what would he be required to demonstrate? Is it possible that a lawyer could ensure their client is technically protected against litigation even if the offending comments are blatantly false?
