U.S. Anti-Obama Author Booted From Kenya

(AP)  A Kenyan airport official says the American author of a book attacking Barack Obama is being deported.

Jerome Corsi, who wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was picked up at his hotel in Nairobi on Tuesday morning.

Joseph Mumira, head of criminal investigations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, says Corsi was briefly detained before being taken to the airport for deportation.

Immigration officials say he failed to get a work permit while in Nairobi to launch his book.

Corsi's book attacks the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate as seething with "black rage" and unfit for the presidency.

Are you kidding? Obama has given dozens upon dozens of interviews, with journalists from Bill O''Reilly to Keith Olberman, where he has attempted to answer every question thrown at him. He has participated in at least 23 formal televised debates. He has given speeches about his beliefs and programs practically every day for the last year and a half. He has written 2 memoirs - books about himself, his life, his thoughts and values, his experiences. He has a website detailing his background and plans for the future.

On the other hand, the article above is about Jerome Corsi, not Barack Obama. It says he didn''t bother to get a work permit required in Kenya, so the Kenyans threw him out. That is about Corsi and Kenya - nothing to do with Obama !

Lemme see now; Dr Corsi writes a book which becomes a New York Times best seller, and publishes it in America to inform American voters, just who the wolf in sheep''s clthing really is, before they turn over to him, the reins of the most powerful nation in the world as well as its military resources.
So the author wants to sell his book, so he goes to a country where the Presidential candidate''s half brother lives on a grand total income of $12 per year; so it is going to take at least three years of his entire income to buy a copy of his brother''s story book. You would think that Senator Obama, would send him an autographed copy of the book, and throw in his own wonderful books as well. He could even send him a check for $12 to double his salary, as an example of Obama''s plan to end world poverty using American taxpayer''s money.

So just how many copies of his book, did Corsi have in his possession to bust into this amazing new world market for great literature?

This is a story for the Art Bell show.

***, typical Republitard, thinking he is above the law. Wish some of those Kenyan officers would come and take the chimp and Adolph Cheney away.

Again, for god''s sake people, he had no work permit
he was an illegal alien!!!!!
This is KENYA, not USA.

So how is this nazi-esque for america?

Ditto! Ditto! Dittoheads on board!!

LMAO, ditto is another word for"what did he say? What was that illogical inference? Naaah, forget thinking.. Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!"

Yes, cult of personality indeed

I really question this and is there some polical message behind it. I know you Obama supporters will blow this off with some type of statementm, as you have the youth brigade that was on the internet and then the teacher being fired. Remember this is the type of stuff that was happening in Germany and the world kept apeasing them, but look what happen. I am very worried about this Country, when we are turning a blind eye to stuff that needs more investigation. Blame most of that on the press since it seems they are in bed with Obama and nothing he does do they investigate but the public has a big part in this. We need to make sure we get answers from Obama and up to now we have not not one answer.

What?!? HE had no work permit!!
They are a civilized nation (mostly).
Doesnt everyone here in the US complain about illegal workwers? SAME THING!
Plus, this guys is a nasty political propagandist, calling Obama "full of black rage".Whereon earth did he get this delusion? He would say this about any black person Im sure.. He looks like a DeKlerk to me.
What rage? Obama is calm and thoughtful. Not some spluttering ignoramous'' like the repubs this election.
Guess he''s jealous he didnt go to harvard, so he has to hate on poor barack. What a dirty little scumbag. Cult of personality? Ha! Rush Limbaugh.. Now THERES a cult of personality.
