Some have pointed out that Corsi is a truther, and others, like North Carolina lefty Ed Cone, try to point out that evil capitalism is behind the book...and that (in their feeble minds) nullifies whatever is in the book.
I have purchased my own copy of the book, and am reading it now. From what I have read...there is plenty in the book that shows how much of a liar Barack Obama was, and is, in the telling of his life story.
I will use an example of an Obama lie from the book, Obama Nation.
Here is a video of Senator Barack Obama telling a lie in a church where the anniversary of the 1965 Selma March is being commemorated:
He lied when he said that his father was brought to the USA by an airlift sponsored by the Kennedys.
Barack Obama's father came to the USA in September 1959 on an airlift organized by Tom Mboya of 81 Kenyans...Barack Obama Sr was one of them.
Here is a blog post by Jake Tapper that confirms what is in the book.
And here is a document entitiled,The Facts on Grants to American Students Airlift , regarding when Ton Mboya first contacted the Kennedys to get money for a second airlift.
So, who is the liar? Jerome Corsi, or Senator Obama? Senator Obama lied.
Next lie...
Barack Obama tried to claim that as a result of the events at the Selma bridge...his parents got together, and Barack Jr was born.
The events at Selma occured in March 1965. Barack Jr was born August 4, 1961...years before Selma.
So, who is the liar? Jerome Corsi, or Senator Obama? Senator Obama lied.
So, when is the truth a smear? When it is a truth that exposes the Lies of the Left.
This book by Jerome Corsi will go a long way toward defeating Senator Obama, just as the book he co-authored, "Unfit for Command", went to defeat Senator Kerry in 2004.
I suggest that you get your own copy
, read it, and learn about the lies that Obama has told.You will be able to run rings around the lefties who refuse to buy it, and learn for themselves.

Actually the book has been refuted point by point. Corsi is a slime merchant, and any right thinking person will recognize this.
Media Matters has a lot of the refutation here
And from the Obama campaign
Some tidbits:
LIE: “The year 1995 was a banner one for Obama. He had just married Michelle and the couple bought a Hyde Park condo, the first home Obama ever owned.”[p 145]
REALITY: OBAMAS MARRIED IN 1992 AND BOUGHT A CONDO IN 1993
10/3/92 Obama And Michelle Robinson Were Married. [Chicago Sun-Times, 10/3/07]
1993 Obama Bought a Condo for $277,550. [Chicago Sun-Times, 1/22/06]

LIE: “Senator Obama could claim to be a citizen of Kenya, as well as of the United States. Obama can trace his heritage back to his mother, who was born in the United States and was an American citizen when he was born, and to his father, who was born in Kenya and was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born.” [p 103]
REALITY: OBAMA CANNOT CLAIM KENYAN CITIZENSHIP
Kenya Does Not Allow Dual Citizenship Applications for People Over 21 Years of Age. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management writes of Kenya, “DUAL CITIZENSHIP: Not recognized except for persons under 21 years old.” The Kenyan Constitution writes, “A person who, but for the proviso to section 87 (1), would be a citizen of Kenya by virtue of that subsection shall be entitled, upon making application before the specified date in such manner as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament, to be registered as a citizen of Kenya: Provided that a person who has not attained the age of twenty-one years (other than a woman who is or has been married) may not himself make an application under this subsection, but an application may be made on his behalf by his parent or guardian.” [U.S. Office of Personnel Management; Kenyan Constitution]
Even if Obama Had Applied for Dual Citizenship Before He Was 21—Which He Did Not—It Would Have Expired. ”A person who, upon the attainment of the age of twenty-one years, is a citizen of Kenya and also a citizen of some other country other than Kenya shall, subject to subsection (7), cease to be a citizen of Kenya upon the specified date unless he has renounced his citizenship of that other country, taken the oath of allegiance and, in the case of a person who was born outside Kenya, made and registered such declaration of his intentions concerning residence as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament.” [Kenyan Constitution]

Summary: On Fox News, Obama Nation author Jerome Corsi claimed that the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama "has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their website." In fact, the Hawaii Department of Health has confirmed that the birth certificate posted online by the Obama campaign is "a valid Hawaii state birth certificate" and has called speculation about Obama's citizenship "pretty ridiculous."

This is easy, Thunder Pig. Corsi's a liar.

Refute those points in this post.
I'm waiting...

Thunder Pig, thanks for linking to me, but Gordon totally pwned you. Since you say "no-one's attacked his points," and he replies, "ah, I will," your reply, "please address the points you've already addressed" is a little bit nonsensical. You've been totally beaten, unless you care to reply.

Point by point? Then post a refutal to the Obama Lies I posted. I do not see them in your response.
I am still waiting for you to refute the points I posted. You cannot, because those points are iron-clad.
I will be posting more of Obama's lies as I get to them, and you are more than welcome to attemot to refute the ones I post, until then...you and your fellow traveler have been exposed as typical lefties who are unable to stick to the topic, preferring red herrings and straw men to the unassailable FACTS I posted.
Refute them as I post them.
EPIC FAIL.
I will get back to reading the book (and posting more obama Lies for you lefties to ignore and go off topic) sometime tomorrow after I finish editing video at a ribbon-cutting ceremony I attended yesterday.
Gordon Smith...EPIC FAIL.
Ames (if that is your real name)....EPIC FAIL.
Can I get an admission that Obama lied repeatedly in this video? I didn't think so.
I show you proof that Obama is a liar, and you ignore it, going off on a tangent.
I am laughing at you both.
President John McCain. Get Used To It!!!

Hi TP,
Your post is about Corsi. I'm talking about Corsi. You want me to waste my time running down some random nonsense posted by a guy who is willing to peddle Corsi?
After all the stuff I've read from you talking about "Truthers", you're going to just discard it because he's the enemy of your enemy.
Nice principles, yo.

ames:
I was poking at you! LOL
Gordon:
You said:
"Your post is about Corsi. I'm talking about Corsi. You want me to waste my time running down some random nonsense posted by a guy who is willing to peddle Corsi?"
You certainly wasted enough time to post "talking points" issued by your fellow travelers.
I took the time to confirm what I found in the very first few pages of the book, and run down more sources confirming what Corsi had written.
I still notice...with great satisfaction that you have not refuted the "the random nonsense" I posted about.
It is becoming ever more clear that Obama is going to go down in defeat that will rival the Richard Nixon defeat of George McGovern in 1972.
