The Obama Nation (Kindle Edition)

by Jerome R Corsi (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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 na?ve, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more useful now, February 28, 2009

By	Philip J. Bohlken (Caldwell, Idaho) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality (Hardcover)

Why would anyone be interested in this book after Obama has been inaugurated? This book is just as important after the election, even though remarks in it about how McCain can and will defeat Obama in the election are strange to read now. Corsi does a very good job documenting Obama's past, which is prologue to the present and the future. You will learn that Obama will say whatever he needs to say in order to get what he wants. It is part of his training in the methodology of Saul Alinsky. You will also learn that "listening" has a different meaning and purpose for Obama than for most people. When you hear that Obama wants to listen to someone, it means he is acting out his former role as a community organizer in the Alinsky model. That means he gathers the complaints of his audience and feeds them back to that audience as a plan of action that promotes victimhood. You will learn that "change" is a finely honed buzzword which really means a Marxist redistribution of wealth. You will learn that Obama is no champion of the poor, but helped Tony Rezko get federal grant money to rehabilitate low income housing, which money went for other things instead, including campaign contributions to Obama. The result was that Obama's constituents in a Rezko building spent five weeks without heat in the middle of a Chicago winter. Would that those who go into ecstasy at the sound of Obama's name would read this book and get a grip on reality. It is a more important book now than ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Good Facts, Hastily Written, February 20, 2009

By	TJ (Marriottsville, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality (Hardcover)

Corsi has accumulated a number of interesting facts about Obama, but the book appears hastily written. For example, when Corsi discusses "Obama Visits Africa" on page 24-27, he neglects to ask an obvious question - What passport did Obama use to travel to Africa? Since Obama says he did not have a US passport until he was a US Senator, what passport did he use to travel to Africa in 19986 and 1992 (or Pakistan in the early 1980s). Either Obama is lying about not having a US passport, or Obama had a US passport in another name, or Obama used a foreign passport. It seems that with a little more time some valuable truth could be uncovered.
I also didn't care for the bias (Is Obama another Dukakis (p 282). I'd prefer a more objective accounting of the facts - I'll make my own bias!
I liked Corsi point out about how so many of Obama's speeches were actually taken from other Alexrod clients. Infomation like this is not found in other sources and gives us some valuable insight into Obama.
Overall a good contribution to the body of literature regarding Obama

3.0 out of 5 stars Ron Paul was right, January 24, 2009

By	C. Taute (Savannah, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality (Hardcover)

Have this book on order, and am looking forward to reading. I could care less about all these stupid reviews, they mean nothing. I have read a lot of the reviews and comments. What I noticed is the same people comment over and over and over again. Cheering eachother when they find another Obama Zombie, or boo and hiss when someone disagrees with them. Get a life. "He who lives upon Hope will die fasting." Obamas policies are nothing more then Neo-Socialism. I want to keep what I work hard for! I dont want my wealth shared! If Obama wants to share something, share a good work ethic, not someones paycheck!!
