It's been said, "If you can't refute the message, attack the messenger." I hear certain people demean the character of Jerome R. Corsi, the author of "The Obama Nation - Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality." I decided to investigate the book myself, rather than just take someone's word for it. Interestingly, I found that Mr. Corsi received a Ph.D from Harvard University and has written many books and articles, including a number one New York Times best seller. In addition, he is a senior staff reporter for World Net Daily."The Obama Nation" is thoroughly researched and documented. Corsi meticulously sourced his material with more than 600 footnotes. He began researching Mr. Obama back in 2005. Of note, Corsi is not a Republican or a Democrat, nor does he intend to vote for Senator John McCain.
In this comprehensive book, Corsi examines Barack Hussein Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, his affiliation with the black-liberation theology of Jeremiah Wright, his involvement with Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko and Obama's cult of personality, including the derivation of the words "hope" and "change." Corsi also documents Obama's far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the second amendment, his determination to raise taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal healthcare and many other important and pertinent issues.
Obviously, it is not my place, nor anyone else's, to tell someone how to vote or who to vote for, but I would suggest that readers thinking of voting for Mr. Obama owe it to themselves, and to the future of our country, to research more of his background in order to better understand his ideology, his policies and his politics. (Another interesting book is "The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate.") These books should be available at the local library and are eye-opening reads.
