Jerome Corsi: 'Obama Nation' Author Detained in Kenya





s the author of a new smear book entitled The Obama Nation Leftist Politics and the Culture of Personality. He is probably best known for his association with the Swift Boat Veterans of Truth.

Corsi traveled to Kenya to launch his diatribe when he was detained by immigration officials who claim that he doesn't have a work permit. There appears to be more to it than that. Apparently Jerome Corsi's promotional literature for the book revealed that he claims Barack Obama has sinister links to Kenyan politicians. This is apparently not sitting well with the African nation, where the Democratic presidential nominee is very popular.

Corsi had planned to travel to Nairobi after his book launch in order to seek out Obama's destitute half brother George Obama. He intends to present a $1,000 check to the young man.

It isn't clear whether Corsi will be allowed to do either of the things that he set out to do. His fatal error was that he leaked information to Kenyan newspapers prior to landing in the country, which tipped off officials to the authors plans and triggered their unwelcoming response. He was summarily escorted to the airport for immediate deportation.

Corsi isn't the first who wanted to help George Obama out of poverty. Check it out here.
