Product Description

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 nave, 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.

5 out of 5 stars A breath of fresh air in the land of Obamafever   August 1, 2008
 828 out of 1640 found this review helpful

Corsi makes some interesting points in this investigation. While I think that Obama's ties to more radical Islamists is a bit overboard, I don't think Corsi even scratched the surface on how quickly and smoothly Obama dovetailed his way into the most corrupt political machine in the country. It cant be stressed enough that the intolerably corrupt Illinois State Senate leader Emil Jones is the biggest reason Obama is a US senator. His ties to Tony Rezko are fairly well known, even if the press does all it can to give Obama cover on this, and Corsi devotes a good deal of time cutting through the spin of Obama's "boneheaded" friendship.

This is not a fair and impartial take on the Obama narrative that Axlerod has built, but it's a good balance to the puff pieces and near idolatry that passes as journalism in the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and the Boston Globe (just to name a few).



5 out of 5 stars The Book Obama Supporters Don't want You to Read   August 27, 2008
 20 out of 30 found this review helpful

Okay, then don't read this book. But everything in this book is already available in newspapers, websites, You-tube clips, interviews, Obama's own books, his speeches, writings, articles, bills, records, court proceedings, primary sources, interviews, eyewitnesses, books and magazines, websites. I mean, if you've been paying attention to current events: the Democratic primaries, debates, the Jeremiah Wright sermons and interviews, the no precondition talks with dictators, all documented with video clips of Obama's own speeches, his own words, written or spoken, you DON'T need this book. Do your own research. Did Obama write an opinion for or against the Born-Alive Infant Protection Bill? What is Obama's voting record? How many times he voted "present"? Did Obama make the "bitter guns" comment? How about the "typical white person" one? Did he fold his hands over his crotch during the playing of the National Anthem? Did he not say he wouldn't wear a flag pin? Did he vote for additional spending in Iraq or not? Did he support the Partial Abortion Ban or not? Did he not say he wanted abortion to be available so his own daughters would not be "punished by a baby"? Did he or did he not march in Farrakhan's Million Man march? Go do your own research. Dig in the congressional archives. Look up his speeches on You-tube. Dig in the archives of his hometown newspapers. Read Saul Alinsky, Malcolm X and James Cone and see for yourself what influenced him. Then read Obama's own books. Then come back and tell us this book is useless.

All Corsi did was pull all of these primary sources together in one convenient book, to present Obama as he is, oftentimes with his own words. It's too bad his supporters don't want to see him as he is, but wish to project their own fantasies onto him. But at the end, America has to be responsible for choosing the right leader. It's not an excuse, it's reality.



5 out of 5 stars TURN THE WHITE HOUSE AND PENTAGON OVER TO THIS GUY??   August 27, 2008
 25 out of 37 found this review helpful

Yes, I have actually read the book.

Have you noticed the venomous disdain, the outright contempt and
ridicule that fill the one-star "reviews" of this book, some of which were written by people that admit they haven't even read the book?

Well, it's no surprise, once you become aware of the tactics of intimidation that were central to the teachings of radical socialist Saul Alinsky, one of Mr. Obama's philosophical mentors (see Corsi, p. 131).

In his preface, Mr. Corsi openly states his purpose for studying Obama's shadowy past: he feels that an Obama presidency would severely damage the United States both at home and abroad (incidentally, Corsi does NOT support John McCain either).

Corsi's thorough research (supported by nearly 700 source references and
a three-week examination by his lawyers for accuracy) is an IMMENSE help
in filling in the blanks about the PATTERNS of Obama's political influences and ideology, and thus his probable course of action if elected. Whether the author is connecting the dots between Alinsky's teachings, Obama's continuing support of the violent Odinga anti-Christian regime in Kenya, his association with the raging racial hatred of Jeremiah Wright and the unrepentant arrogance of domestic terrorist William Ayres, his shocking stance in the abortion debate, his disturbing animosity towards the military (I could go on...), Corsi confidently and convincingly lays bare the PATTERNS in Obama's past that are so troubling, and which the mainstream media has almost entirely ignored, hoping that they remain buried in obscurity....at least until AFTER November 4th.

I must say that I admire the fact that Obama has managed to achieve ANYTHING notable, considering his lamentably unstable, dysfunctional early family life. I also admit that Corsi sometimes gets extremely picky and petty. Are his findings absolutely infallible? I doubt it. However, his research encompasses a huge amount of data....and the evidence of Obama's extreme leftist, radical ideology is simply TOO OVERWHELMING for any responsible, reasonable voter to assist in turning over the White House AND the Pentagon to a rookie politician whose undistinguished record has been entirely swept aside by the usually unforgiving media.

And while the mainstream media look the other way, Obama's campaign team has brilliantly fabricated the cult-hero, messianic persona that has entranced the masses with the nebulous promise of "CHANGE" (another tactic right out of the Alinsky's book "Reveille for Radicals").

GET CORSI'S BOOK, READ IT and SHARE IT WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES...THE SOONER, THE BETTER.

Just read it with an open mind. Do you really want this guy as leader of the free world? Some one said it perfectly: "The closer you get to him the smaller he looks."


5 out of 5 stars Get to know the real Obama   August 26, 2008

Read this book to get past the media hype and finely delivered speeches of Obama. It digs deep into the real person behind the aura.
