American Author of Anti-Obama Book Detained in Kenya
Tuesday, October 07, 2008


NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan official says the American author of a book critical of Barack Obama has been detained while his immigration status is checked.

Jerome Corsi wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality."

Senior immigration official Carlos Maluta says he is being held at immigration headquarters after police picked him up from his hotel Tuesday.

Maluta told The Associated Press that officials had not decided what to do with him. Officials were checking Corsi's immigration status.

The Corsi book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president. Obama is wildly popular in Kenya. His father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist.

How interesting...

Corsi went to Kenya to try and find a record of Obama's birth there (if one exists).
He also was investigating whether Obama used a US passport to enter Kenya on his Senate visit. There was talk at the time he entered as a Kenyan citizen with dual citizen status because of his father.

His book was enlightening, although he got hit pretty hard by the MSM for minor inaccuracies.

Good catch Jarhead. In light of the Obama/Odinga connection being brought out again lately, it may have something to do with that too...

Added info/update.......

NAIROBI, Kenya — The American author of a book critical of Barack Obama is being detained in Kenya while his immigration status is checked, a senior immigration official said Tuesday.

Jerome Corsi, who wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was being held at immigration headquarters in Nairobi after police picked him up from his hotel Tuesday, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.

"We still haven't decided what to do with him," Maluta told The Associated Press.

He said Corsi did not have a temporary work permit needed to conduct business in Kenya.

Obama is wildly popular in Kenya. His father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist.

Corsi's book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president and includes innuendoes and false rumors — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and is secretly seething with "black rage."

Obama is a Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his campaign picks apart the book's claims on the Obama campaign's rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com.

According to a press release announcing Corsi's visit, he arrived last week at the invitation of Christian missionaries concerned about the rise of Islam. Corsi was planning to file daily dispatches all week, the statement said.

Obama's Kenyan uncle, Said Obama, said he was unaware of Corsi's detention.

/I'm sure nobody had any idea of who Corsi was (what he had written) when they picked him up. /sarcasm off

Very interesting catch, Jarhead!

Obama is a Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his campaign picks apart the book's claims on the Obama campaign's rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com.

Corsi published an extensive refutation of Barry's 'picking apart' of his carefully researched book. Barry has failed to respond to Corsi's article, printed on WorldNetDaily.

Barry's fascist truth-suppression squads are apparently able to reach into Kenya and squelch any attempt to answer the question 'Who is Barack Obama.'

You need to be afraid, people.

This word. I do not think it means what you think it does.

I thought Obama's jackbooted thugs were only in Missouri.
