Jerome R. Corsi, the American author of the book about Barack Obama has been detained by Kenyan immigration. The book called “The Obama Nation,” is a highly critical of the Senator, where Corsi attacks Obama.
Jerome R. Corsiwas trying to work in Kenya without a valid work permit, it is highly likely that he will be deported. Kenya’s immigration authorities are not giving out much information, as they came under pressure from a number of reporters.
Eric Kiraithe, Kenya’s police spokesman, said “i had heard the reports of Mr. Corsi’s arrest and was pushing the immigration department to release more information.” It is thought that many Kenya’s will be loyal to Barack Obama, as his father was a Kenyan.

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. Obama is an American not Kenyan.

How can a book about Obama, an American as you point out, “antagonize” Africans? Are Africans not interested in truth? Why should he be arrested and charged with defamation?
Unless its true that there is a conspiracy going on between radical Islam in Kenya and other parts of the world tied in with Obama. The fact that the author has now been arrested would seem to confirm the worst.
If that is true, then the American people have a right to know the full story of Obama.
Why is Obama silent on this matter? Why doesn’t he demand the immediate release of this US citizen? Is this how he will treat all Americans under his rule?
You will not be able to hide the truth you so desperately seek to keep hidden. The whole world is now watching.

He is antagonizing them by flying over there and lying about his intentions. HA ha! What a clown. He wanders overseas and continues lying to peoples faces much like he does in his book. Serves him right. They can keep him as far as I am concerned. This country is better off without him.

So Kenyans are so easily antagonized?
That would explain all the problems and violence occurring not only in Kenya but other African nations as well, Darfur, Rwanda, Somalia, and it would seem every country on the continent is rife with tribal violence and corruption that makes the rest of the world look like heaven. What a horrible place the contenant of Africa is. I know it. You know it. The whole world knows it. The question is, when are you people ever going to clean it up and make it civilized? I mean we pour billions of dollars into the continent of Africa in aid, and things don’t improve much. Why? Just what is your problem?
When you admit it and be honest about it - then you will find the path to bettering yourselves.

How sure are you that Obama is an american and not a Kenyan? So far no one has seen his vaulted birth certificate, no hospital records, or school records have been released either (which would show his true birthplace). All that anyone has ever seen is the photoshoped version that was put on Move-on.org! Maybe there was more to his visit, and the Kenya officials knew that!
