    <body><![CDATA[The Obama Nation is about as balanced, thoughtful and fair as might be expected from a book with its snarky, pun-fully-intended, title. Corsi believes that an Obama presidency would be an abomination, leading to a militarily weakened and economically diminshed United States. In his book, he sets out...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37474013">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While this book does contain some information about Obama that is inconsequential, such as his father's alcohol problem and Obama's secret smoking, it does point out some far reaching ideas. <br/>The most important thing I take from this book is that Obama wishes to fundamentally change America--he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35148102">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well researched by the author, this book is a documented source of information on Barack Obama's rise to power through the use of &quot;the cult of personality&quot;. It is a very insightful book of his life, tracing  Obama's early years in Hawaii, Indonesia to the beginnings of his political career...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49050407">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you read “Dreams of My Father,” you have most of the information in this new book by Corsi. What he did was to take facts from Obama’s autobiography, and turn them into something sinister.  For example, I really don’t think “secret smoking” is worth several pages and indicates that Ob...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31421078">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This read is very insightful as to the documented, true upbringing of this man. Interesting, as well, are the connections of both Obama and his father to Kenya, Africa and its political leaders. This book is not boring in its content but is somewhat of a drag to read.]]></body>
