The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality is a book by Jerome Corsi opposing Barack Obama's candidacy for President of the United States.[1] The book alleges Obama's "extreme leftism", "extensive connections with Islam and radical politics", "naïve... foreign policy", past drug use and connections to corrupt backers, among other things.[2] The book has been criticized for containing factual errors,[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] for being racist,[8][10][11] and for being a political "attack book" containing smears, falsehoods, and innuendo.[12][13][14][15]
