Jerome Corsi
Author Jerome R. Corsi released the controversial book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality just a few months before the 2008 presidential election.1 In the book Corsi accused Senator Barack Obama of being a "secret Muslim" who is "seething with black rage" and says he is unfit for the role of president.2
On October 7, 2008, it was reported that Corsi was detained in Kenya and taken to immigration headquarters. Kenyan officials said that Corsi did not have the temporary work permit he needed to conduct business in Kenya. Corsi was invited to the country by Christian missionaries to launch his book at a hotel in Nairobi.2
