Crossing the Globe to Bring Down Obama

When Jerome Corsi (Obama Nation and Unfit for Command) decided to attempt to create problems for Obama in Kenya, the homeland of the candidate’s father, Kenyan authorities applied the local laws to make his visit less profitable than he had hoped.

According to the The New York Times, “the conservative gadfly who wrote “The Obama Nation,” in which he attacks the Democratic presidential candidate, was being held Tuesday because he was trying to work in Kenya without a valid work permit, according to local media reports. The reports said that Mr. Corsi would likely be deported. Elias Njeru, a spokesman for Kenya’s immigration department, said, “His immigration forms were not in order.”

Among his allegations in “The Obama Nation” is that Mr. Obama is a radical liberal who has tried to cover up “extensive connections to Islam” and that Mr. Obama has maintained secret ties with certain Kenyan politicians. Mr. Obama’s campaign and others have disputed many of the allegations in the book.

Mr. Corsi was preparing Tuesday morning to give a press conference about his Obama book at a big hotel in downtown Nairobi. Dozens of purple chairs and a microphone had been set up. The room was soon deserted.
