The absolute worst thing Obama could do is even acknowledge the existence of Corsi's book.

But he's doing it anyway.

Can you imagine the kind of poker he'd play with the likes of Vladimir Putin?

Exactly right.

When you have to “defend yourself” against accusations, you are just giving the author more credibility.

Didn’t the Silky Pony deny, deny, deny, deny, deny and deny some more a few weeks ago?

Jon Stewart actually mocked Obama over his reaction to the New Yorker cartoon with: “The only people who go crazy over Muslims depicted in cartoons are...CRAZY MUSLIMS!!!”

But see... the beauty of this...for PIAPS...is that the original COLB does not need to show that B O is not a U.S. citizen. It merely needs to show that he has been lying about something. His name? His religion? It doesn’t matter. Just that he’s been lying. And that it be revealed just as the vote at the Dim convention is about to start. She has the dominoes all set up...somebody just needs to push the first one over. That will be the COLB/lie. The revelation will sweep through the delegates like wildfire and with no time for Barry to conduct damage control. PIAPS will fan the flames with “Barry lied! He is unelectable. Thank god I am here to save the election.” She only needs to convince a handful of delegates to switch and the nomination is hers.

I’m telling you...the Dim convention will be a three ring circus. Best show in years.

"No, he will try to destroy them....."

I think you're right. His asking Major Garrett if the President was the one who approves Limbaugh's show for Armed Forces Radio told me this. If he got to be President, for sure he'd push to have Rush's show removed from the line-up. He seems like a vindictive little creep.

A little conspiracy theory here..........Why is the democratic party letting Hillary be on the ballot for the convention?

Because Obama doesn't have enough elected delegates to win the nomination with out any super delegates; and I believe the rules allow for a roll call vote on the nomination.

I just ordered my autographed copy from World Net Daily for $24.95.

I encourage others to do the same.

This is the cheapest and the most effective political contribution you can ever make.

Here is the WND ordering site:

"Corsi better be careful or he's liable to get a big ole FATWAH put on his ass."

He's already had death threats from Obama supporters.

Probably Hamas.

“Obama talks about how meaningful it was to him when he read Malcolm X’s comment about wanting to expunge all of the white blood within him (his mother was half white).”

His poor dead mother. I wonder if he would be spouting all of this “hate whitey” crap if his mother was still alive. I wonder what his mother’s family thinks of all this?
No matter how hard he tries, BHO will NEVER be able to “expunge” his white blood.

In a 41-page document entitled "Unfit for Publication", the Obama campaign rebuts Jerome Corsi's Obama Nation (a play on "abomination") almost point by point.

Parsing news reports and press releases is almost as much fun as the subjects themselves. I've highlighted a couple of words as reference.
No, I have read neither the book nor the "rebuttal", but generally speaking, "progressive" "rebuttals" use the classic template:

'Factual Errors' = no more than two makes this 'accurate', but meaningless. Example -- if the charge is made that Hussein mugged a handicapped lesbian minority at 2 pm on a Tuesday --- and it happend at 3 am on a Wednesday -- the 'factual errors' charge holds, even though it's meaningless.

"Nuh uh" is not a rebuttal. Simply denying a charge is not a rebuttal.

Finally, what is omitted in the rebuttal is the most significant of all. If an item is damaging or irrefutable (like school and official birth records) it will be "forgotten" in the rebuttal.

Otherwise, I am looking forward to reading both.
Just saying.

..."trash" and "poisonous crap..."

Did John Edwards write this response? Hmmmmm...

Too bad Obeymao didn't see anything "trashy" or "poisonous" with his beloved "reverend" Wright for 20 years.

Obama, you are a hypocrite and a fool.

Mr. Corsi has dismissed criticisms of his book as "nit-picking," an odd defense coming from an author happy to inflate any possible omission into a full-blown evasion. Mary Matalin, the Republican political strategist who heads Threshold Editions, the Simon & Schuster division that published "The Obama Nation," described the book to the New York Times as "a piece of scholarship, and a good one at that." That would not be our description

Obama really has it in for Sean Hannity........
If he can’t deal with Sean...how in the H@ll is he going to lead a Nation???????

If obama wins….. with a democrat senate and congress……

He will appoint activist judges , re-write the constititution and be in office for life…..

Just my opinion.....
