Questions over Obama birthplace going viral

President-elect Barack Obama is busy making choices for his cabinet, selecting a Washington school for his daughters and trying to figure out how to live without his Blackberry, since presidential communications are public record. However, the questions over his eligibility to be president aren't going away, as the top choice among best-sellers at Shop.WND.com this week is "The Obama Nation," by Jerome Corsi.

The second-place book, "The Audacity of Deceit" by Brad O'Leary, also raises questions about Obama and his presidency.

The book by Corsi, the senior staff reporter for WND who also wrote the No. 1 New York Times best-seller "Unfit for Command," explains why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency will leave the U.S. weak and divided.

He also raises questions about Obama's origins: whether he actually was born in Hawaii as his campaign has stated or whether the reports, including those from Obama's own grandmother, that he was born in Kenya are true.

A multitude of court cases have been launched to determine the truth about Obama's birthplace, and tens of thousands of individuals have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve the unanswered questions.

One California law firm even has announced plans to sue over each and every presidential action once Obama is inaugurated in January until proof of his citizenship is established. The questions all revolve around Obama's birthplace and the fact the U.S. Constitution requires that only a "natural-born citizen" can occupy the Oval Office.

Corsi traces Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois Legislature, his religious training, his religious conversion, his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisers and fund-raising associates and his meteoric campaign for president.

His conclusion? An Obama presidency will be "a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s."

The book reviews Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, his 20-year religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his involvement in the slum-landlord empire of Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko and other issues.

O'Leary's book, "The Audacity of Deceit," raises some of the same issues as Corsi's.

Just exactly what is beneath the Obama's well-polished rhetoric? Obama speaks vaguely about "change," but O'Leary contends Obama's "change" is a hostile attack on Judeo-Christian values and freedoms most Americans hold dear.

"It is change designed to uproot American culture and replace it with the failed, secular, socialist policies of the past," according to the book.

O'Leary discusses how Obama blocked emergency medical aid for babies who survived abortions, plans to ban the use of firearms by law-abiding citizens – even for self-defense, how his values are influenced by his childhood abandonment by a Muslim bigamist father, his plans to make the U.S. Treasury the ATM for the United Nations and his plans to mandate that child-rearing responsibility be taken from parents and given to the federal government.

"The Path to the New Life: KJV New Testament" is in third place.

The book explains the crucial truths and best passages relating to a new life as a Christian.

It is a handy size and highlights the promises and prophecies of the first and second advents of the Messiah.

It begins with a map for The Path to the New Life and guides the reader through key questions and concerns.
