My thoughts exactly. I am on page 98 and I am very impressed with how respectful it is.

Obama’s own words from his books are the basis of much of this book so far. I find it interesting that Obama began identifying with his “blackness” in High School as an angry black man, which we commonly accept as a remnant (valid or not) of slavery, but as Corsi aptly points out—he’s not descended from slaves!!

You know, it really is amazing how much a 90-pound emotional and mental weakling Mr. Obama is.

Good Lord, he wants to be the POTUS. Does he think criticism is going to stop IF he gets into office? Does he think that all criticism will be contructive?

Typical liberal: No sense of humor and arrogant. That’s quite a cocktail mixture.

We handed them the office on a silver platter and they STILL are too stupid to nominate a moderate who could take the seat.

Well, I guess when your enemy is committing suicide you don’t dull his knife.

Better luck next time Dem’s...

I am thinking that purchasing Corsi’s book is the cheapest and best political contribution I could ever make. Just imagine the consternations in the Obama camp should Corsi sell 10 million copies.

Furthermore, how many of you have made a $50 contribution to a politician and then get hammered with junk mail and telemarketers for years thereafter.

Buy Corsi’s book. It is a win-win situation.

“they should have ignored it.”
It’s kinda like tellin’ a spoiled,misbehaving brat not to make a scene. Good luck with that.

Wow. Could team Obama be any stupider than to acknowledge this book? You know what they say about “flak” and being “over the target.”

My favorite line from the screed:

“Lolo Soetoro Was A “Nominal Muslim” Who Enjoyed Bacon”

The step-father who generously raised him and didn’t abandon him, UNDER THE BUS!

"This is too much fun"

Yep. I just broke down and ordered the book from Amazon. I figure the more Barry protests, the longer the book will be on the best-seller list.

A president of the US cannot survive with such a ‘thin skin’

No, he can't. But it's ample evidence that the Obama camp believes they can effectively respond to any criticism with a bald assertion of racism.

Empty charges...fitting for an empty suit's campaign.

He is proving to have a very thin skin, which will likely be his undoing as the campaign wears on.

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

Probably has a Costanza poker face.

I have obtained the audiobook and will be listening this evening.

Unfortunately, it’s pretty tough to footnote an audiobook.

Hopefully, he hired Kathleen Turner to read the book for audio.

“Just like Obama attacked the New Yorker cover of him, even though it was supposed to be satire of what conservatives thought of him.
This clown will probably respond to every editorial cartoon and column written about him if he becomes president.”

Good point. Thanks for the ping.

"He is a politician he can lie through his teeth with a smile. "

And the mainstream media will repeat it all as fact, without questioning one bit of it.

And every single media outlet on the planet is running with the Obama fights evil line. Look here, I’ve never seen anything like it:

It’s Corsi doing the reading.
