Fact check

This article talks about why the writer wrote "The Obama Nation" and that he believes in what he wrote.

This connects to class because I looked up this book on factcheck.org and I was informed that this book not a proper place to get info on Obama. A few quotes showing that he says things that may not be true are, "Corsi claims that Obama "could claim to be a citizen of Kenya as well as of the United States." But the Kenyan Constitution specifically prohibits dual citizenship." Thats just one, heres another example, "Corsi relies on claims from one of Obama's "closest" childhood friends to "prove" that Obama once was a practicing Muslim, without revealing that the witness later said he couldn't be certain about his claims and confessed to knowing Obama for only a few months."

Personally, I cant believe that this person would write a book full of lies about a president without being convicted or something like that. Because of what I have read on fact check most of the it is lies and gave Obama a bad image. It was a best seller by the New York Times.
