The real issue here is the fact the parrot press is in the tank for Barack Hussein Obama. Race has nothing to do with this!! Obama constantly brings up government control and has numerous ties to radicals from early childhood through present day. Stay tuned for more ties to come out.

Cory Tanner, New York , USA

First of all, Obama's brother is living on less than a dollar a month. Giving him money was not a stunt. Secondly, if you want to hear Dr. Corsi as he was being detained, go to the Quinn and Rose podcast and download the episode from Tuesday. (You can listen to their show on XM channel 158)

Mike, Pittsburgh, USA

This is a political game that McCain is playing!! If Obama was 100% white, will this campaign be so complicated?? People often call Obama "black", don't forget he is half white. From this, we can see how racial discrimination does always exist. What real freedom and liberty are we having in US?!

Nicole , New York, USA

In our country we have a constitution, the laws should be enforced for all if you are eligible or if you are not. The FBI does not vet out candidates, thus a problem if Obama's birth certificate is a forgery? You may like him, as many but is he legal or not? Let the courts decided!

Sarah, Loves Park, USA

Funny. You'd think that this would get wider coverage.

Oh, wait. No you wouldn't. The American press would never ask the hard questions relating to this candidate.

JWM, Olney, USA

As has already been said, the book in question has been out for some time, he wasn't trying to get publicity for it, he already has it. I find it interesting that attempts to find details of Obama's past, associates and positions needs to be prevented. PS: Obama is a Chicago Machine politican.

Art Mosel, Chicago, USA

Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083

All Obama has to do is answer it with a certified copy his birth certificate yet he won't.

Question, What's wrong with this?

B. Hall, Bristol, Tn,

The only thing that drove Corsi to Kenya with dubious permits to do a smear political job was money. But he should know that the aftermath of his unfounded claims would have resulted to quite a bit of anxiety across the country. Kenyans do not need this so soon after the contentious elections.

Fred Migosi, Nairobi, Kenya

Even if that wasn't the case, Kenyan is a sovereign state that reserves the right to exercise its laws as it deems fit. The man (Dr C) was in clear breach of the nation's law and deserved to be arrested and prosecuted. He should be thankful to the Kenyan officials for very only expelling him.

Fred, KL, malaysia

What exactly is a "neo-conservative?" Someone who is newly conservative? Or is this just a pejorative term the Neo-liberals like to throw around to describe their distaste for "conservatives?"

Jack T, Charlotte, USA

I own a small buisness, right now I pay 37% tax rate.Obama said he will raise the S corp tax to 49%.If I gross $200,000 a yr.The goverment takes half, I still have to pay employee payroll and insurance.I will have to lay off workers to cover cost. I'm left with $30,000 a yr and I own a corporation?

Tyler, Springfield, USA

You can't buy this kind of publicity. Now sales of Corsi's book will soar. The law of unintended consequences you know.

JL Ronish, seattle , usa

Dr. Corsi should be ashamed of himself.
It is true that he has every right to look into Obama's past, present and even future should he choose. But to take it so far as to try make a bigger statement in a third party independent nation kind proves he has alteria motives . . ..

Fred, KL, malaysia

Picture this, had he succeed in giving obama's half brother the $ 1000 dllar check "that he has been so missing for his X number of years on this planet" that would have been more amour for GOP fanatics to propagate more falsehoods over how Obama handles his house...

Fred, KL, malaysia

the ad goes. . .
"is this the man you want to be president, he can't even... take care of his family... needs to rely on handouts... vote Mcain - i am john mcain and i endorse this......"

Fred, KL, malaysia

Can anyone explain why is this guy labelled a "anti-Obama" author when not a single person who has ever written anything "negative" about George Bush is labelled an "Anti-Bush" author?

Scott, London, UK

Dr Corsi himself appears to be a shady character who got into Kenya on a tourist visa only to be caught trying to launch/sell his book. He has in fact been deported and can peddle his lies elsewhere. He's clearly very naive to try and pull such a move in Kenya and was saved from his own folly

Juma K., Mansfield, UK

Kenyans are proud people with a long history. The political leaders have struggled fiercely to gain the positions they have. Kenya is not the United States. Traveling there as a guest and insulting Kenya's people and leaders is impolite and impolitic. Be a better American, sir.

Rob, Portland, USA

The lawsuit, as well as anyone who believes it, is idiotic. The Birth Certificate from Hawaii has been out there for months. Only wingnuts think differently.

Mike S, Santa Monica, USA

Corsi is not "launching" the book in Kenya. It 's been on the NY Times Bestseller list for weeks. He has every right to look into any aspect of Obama's life. If defamation, he can be sued (not arrested) by Obama. It is called 'investigative journalism' and was once considered noble.

KMS, Irvine, USA

It turns out that Corsi was in Kenya partly to research Obama's birth certificate. There is a lawsuit in US District Court by lawyer Philip J. Berg alleging that Obama is not constitutionally elgible to be the US President because of his or his mother's citizenship.

Eric Townes, Austin, USA

Come and help me as well Dr
I live in Kilimanjaro Tanzania and have similar problems as George.
Only I dont have half relative with 'funy name '!
YES WE CAN !!!!

ANNE, Moshi, Tanzania

Obama or McCain - two birds of the same globalist feather. Either one will continue the destruction and imperialism of the formerly once great USA. It does not matter which one of these globalist puppets ignorant Americans elect, either one assures America of financial and Constitutional destruction

Don, State College, USA

"a self-confessed GOP shill"... Joe you do realize that Corsi is Constitution party member who has called for Bush to be impeached, right?

Mark , Mill Valley, USA

Launching a book on the day of a major debate, from someone that smeared a former democratic candidate. Come on, this guy has an agenda, and it looks like the Kenya officials don't care who he thinks he is. As to all you fear mongers, get over it, the Republic party has lead us to ruin.

Simon, SD, USA

The Kenyan authorities took a stunt that'd have passed unnoticed with 99% of Americans and turned it into a police-state cause celebre that reminds us all what we don't like about the believe-in-Obama-or-else media-Democrat complex that wants to throttle us all.

John Miller, Foster City CA, USA

I wish we knew half as much about the current President Bush be fore he was elected as we know about Obama. Perhaps we would not be experiencing the lose of global respect and economic decline. Too bad Dr. Corsi did not write a book on George.

Elliot, Rumson, USA

Character matters more than anything else. Obama's many associations with unsavory, unAmerican people has to be considered when voting for our next president. Dr. Corsi has every right to look into the background of Obama without being arrested in Kenya. Barak Obams must have something to hide.

Sandy, Richmond,

No wonder Barack Obama supported FISA. In light of DNC silencing anyone against Obama our freedom of speech will be gone with Obama as our President.

Dmitriy, San Diego, Good ol' US of A

And of course, this isn't a ridiculous publicity stunt to help sell books by a self-declared PhD, is it? No, surely I'm being cynical...

J. Dunn, Edinburgh, UK

If the people of Kenya love Obama so much...let them elect him

chris, Skowhegan,

I think we Americans should find out all we can about Obama before we vote. There has been so much that he is not saying, he has a lot to hide. Do we want this man to be our president, I think not. What is so sad a lot of people just vote and never know what kind of person that they are voteing.

bgooch, Burlington, America

The man wants to antagonise Kenyans. Indeed he should be arrested and charged with defamation. Who prevented him from launching the book in the USA? Was he afraid of the lawsuits he would face? We have enough on our plates. He should just go back to USA and fight his battles there.

Kenyan, Machakos, kenya

The man wants to antagonise Africans. Indeed he should be arrested and charged with defamation. Who prevented him from launching the book in the USA? Was he afraid of the lawsuits he would face? We have enough on our plates. He should just go back to USA and fight his battles there.

Kenyan, Machakos, kenya

Try reading the book. Then see if you can refute the 50 pages of references and notes he cites in his bibliography. I dare you. Or continue to mindlessly believe everything that comes out of Obama's mouth. Why should you think for yourself when its so comfortable to just do whatever he says.

Chris, Alexandria, VA, USA

This is VERY BAD. Mr. Corsi is a well respected and honest reporter, not a smear merchant. He was invited to come to Africa by African citizens.

Over 1,500 people died in clashes between rival tribes affiliated to the political parties.

Judy, Choctaw, Oklahoma, USA

The truth is being told.

New York, New York City,

Yet tensions remain high: security personnel for the two leaders have nearly come to blows at joint events, and the two sides are at odds over how to deal with the perpetrators of the violence. Odinga favours a blanket amnesty(wonder why?). Kibaki, supported by the EU, rejects this approach.

Judy, Choctaw, Oklahoma, USA

It appears that Corsi - a self-confessed GOP shill - has been hoisted by his own petard. Poetic justice like this is so juicy-sweet. Brace yourselves for a pedictabke flood of faux indignant outrage from the desperate far right.

Joe, London, UK

I have to say what a touching show of concern by Dr Corsi for Barack Obama's relative i can only wonder why he didn't make this journey 2 years ago or even earlier if he was/is so concerned about George Obama? Let's not kid ourselves it's not an act of humanitarianism on his part but part of a polit

Mark, Cork, Ireland

Welcome to what will be normal when Obama the Magnificent ascends his throne. The country will be an Oligarcy under Reid and Peslosi with Supreme Leader Obama. The Constitution ( embarassing document ) will finelly be let loose. Everything will be regulated to ensure egalitarianism.

Desmond Taylor, Houston, USA,TX

You would have to consider the motives of one who would travel that distance to hand a $1,000 check to someone whom he could not care less about. Had he seen Barack Obama's brother he would have met him as many time as Obama has met him. It's a shameless marketing stunt for a shameless book.
