The Obama Nation

LEFTIST POLITICS AND THE CULT OF PERSONALITY

by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.

Threshold Editions, A Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc., 2008

Other books by Dr. Corsi include Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (2004) with coauthor John O’Neill and Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians (2005).

Dr. Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972. He is a senior staff reporter for WorldNetDaily.com. This book is 304 pages of detailed and documented coverage of Barack Hussein Obama.

(Page xi) "The only political party I ever consciously joined is the Constitution Party, ..."

(Page xv) "(Saul) Alinsky used the battle cry of ‘Change’ as a code word for a socialist redistribution of wealth."

(Page xvi) "I will argue that the policies reflected in Obama’s legislative history or suggested in his presidential campaign are nothing more than a rerun of far-leftist solutions that have been tried many times but to no avail."

(Page 2) "..., Obama embraces a ‘no nukes’, antiwar, antimilitary posture that places him even further to the left than Senator George McGovern, the last openly antiwar presidential candidate put forth by the Democratic Party."

(Page 4) "When the presidential election is held in November 2008, Obama will have spent only three complete years in the U.S. Senate, having been sworn into the U.S. Senate on January 4, 2005"

(Page 6) "If a presidential campaign becomes a campaign of ‘compare and contrast’ (on issues), Republicans tend to win."

(Page 13) In his book, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, "Obama openly admits he is offering us a psychological autobiography, not a chronological one."

(Page 15) " ‘ If Obama will lie about his parents, what won’t he lie about?’ "Andy Martin, March 2008.

(Page 20) "The Daily Mail concluded that ‘for all Mr. Obama’s reputation for straight talking and the compelling narrative of his recollections, they are largely myth.’"

(Page 22) "While Kenya (Obama’s father’s country) is approximately 85 percent Christian, a Muslim minority dates back to 1730, (which is Obama’s family religion of choice)."

(Page 33) "So Obama is again lying about history to claim JFK had anything to do with bringing his father to the United States to study."

(Page 44) "Other sources say divorce papers confirm that a civil ceremony was held on Maui, on February 2, 1961, when Ann was three months pregnant with Obama."

(Page 59) "Rony Amir speculated that Obama had to change his religion if he planned to run for the president of the United States, because America would never elect a Muslim president."

(Page 60) (Emirsyah Satar) told Poskota, another Jakarta newspaper, that Obama was ‘quite religious in Islam, but after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion.’"

(Page 70) ..."Punahou School back in Hawaii..., is ‘an incubator for island elites.’"

(Page 71) "Obama’s mentor in these years? It turns out to be a well-known communist journalist and poet, Frank Marshall Davis, who ended his writing career and spent his final years in Hawaii."

(Page 75) "Kakugawa went on. ‘Barry’s (Barack) biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment. The idea that his biggest struggle was race is (bull).’"

(Page 79) "Where does Obama’s racial angst come from? Obama is not a descendent of a slave, he did not grow up in an urban ghetto in an impoverished family, he was not unjustly prosecuted for some crime he did not commit. Where is the social injustice he has suffered?"

(Page 113) "If Obama does win the presidency in 2008, he will be the first president in our history to have an extended family in another country."

(Page 119) "Obama and Ayers share more anti-American sentiments than Axelrod (campaign manager) can afford the voting public to realize."

(Pages 120-121) "That presidential candidate Obama has to sever ties with so many key people in his past should alone raise questions about his character for the serious voter."

(Page 122) "He is at heart a coldly calculating politician, driven more by winning at all costs than by the lofty principles he espouses."

(Page 134) "What Alinsky meant by ‘change’ was the type of radical socialist redistribution of wealth that a committed communist could easily embrace."

(Page 145) "In 1995, Obama also participated in Farrakhan’s Million Man March, a fact he has omitted from his 2008 presidential campaign biography."

(Page 177) "If Obama was smart enough to get a Harvard law degree, he was smart enough to understand Trinity Church was and is a black-liberation theology church."

(Page 193) "Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell once his enemies learn of the 1984 trip he made with Farrakhan (to Qaddafi’s Libya)."

(Page 215) "Axelrod’s strategy is to win elections by promoting the personality of the candidate, not issues."

(Page 257) "(Obama) has been endorsed by Hamas and had to fire a Middle Eastern advisor who had been privately meeting with Hamas."

(Page 259) "Since becoming a U.S. senator in 2004, Obama has not introduced a single resolution or bill calling on President Bush to end the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, only a January 2007 bill to de-escalate."

(Page 275) "The Democratic Party appears to have amnesia over the total failure of the Clinton-Albright-Carter team to produce results with either Iran or North Korea, despite all the diplomacy they tried and all the face-to-face meetings they held."

(Page 281) "In U.S. presidential general elections, the winner is determined more by issues than by personality. Here John McCain has an advantage."

(Page 283) "Obama faces challenges similar to those Dukakis faced in 1988: both candidates won the Democratic Party nomination even though they were largely unknown to American voters."

(Page 284) "Obama’s liability is not his race, but his liberal stance on the issues."

(Page 288) "Since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, only one Democratic contender for the presidency has gotten more than 50 percent of the white vote------Lyndon B. Johnson, in 1964, . . ."
