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.
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 naïve, 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.
Find Out What America Elected This is a great book. It is a revealing portrait of the people and forces that shaped Barack Hussein Obama. Pay special attention to the influence of his mother. If more people had read this book, I do not think Obama would have been elected. After reading it you may, like me, refuse to call this man "presdent."
Very interesting! I've nothing particular against Barack Obama. Nevertheless, I don't rely very much on him. I think that he isn't the right man for the task. Here in Europe many politicians "love" him, because they hope in a weak and self restraining America. I think that USA must be very strong, because EU is a very slight and absurd thing to fight against islamic fundamentalism and terrorism. In this situation the best choice was John MacCain, a soldier, a responsible senator, not a beautiful dandy from Harvard whose second name is HUSSEIN... The book perfectly confirms my fear. I hope the writer and I will be wrong. We'll see! Greetings. Alessandro Mussini - Genova - Italy
Obama Nation I wanted to know more about this candidate before the electon. This book provided several different sides of President-elect Obama's life.
Corsi's Pants Are On Fire Corsi is a propagandist. That's the fancy word for liar. Corsi is nothing more than a habitual "swift boater," the co-author of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, a book that contains false and baseless attacks on Sen. John Kerry's military service. These books are the price we pay for the privilege of a First Amendment. Corsi is proof that you can make a living by publishing and selling lies. Take this one with a pound of salt, if you must, and then go do your own research. (I put one star grudgingly, only because this wouldn't submit with a zero rating ...)
The book the Obama campaign didn't want you to read ... 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.
