Hi Friends,
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 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.
-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

I've appreciated some of Corsi's contributions over the years, and agree that Obama has had some very radical influences throughout his past (and present). The point I'd stress most is not that Obama has some Muslim heritage -as 21st Century America should be open to something other than a Christian Presidency- nor that he has some rather shady business dealings, as there isn't a president who didn't somewhere along the line...

I'd want to stress the point that OBAMA IS A SET-UP, groomed into position, but used as a card that was pulled depending upon the nature of the evolving game. Yes, he was groomed for the position, but he's also "charismatic" and a good speaker by most people's standards. Obama was chosen in the past 4 years (I believe that Obama didn't even know he was actually running until the very last minute) serving as a way to ease tensions with the Muslim world, and used as a hodge-podge character supposedly reaching out to all religions and helping to heal public perception of the United States.

It really comes down to "Anything was better than Bush", and being black, with some Muslim heritage, holding the torch for guys like Lincoln and Kennedy... People wanted that "change" even if it was a highly manufactured and calculated change that only brought about some fantasy wish fulfillment, with little basis in the reality of the American people other than capitalizing on their hopes and dreams...

I think that BIDEN is even more suspicious. Admitted Zionist, Jesuit, Mason, head of the Council on Foreign Relations, where Obama served under him.
