Jerome Corsi wrote a nasty, dishonest book about Barack Obama. Jerome Corsi went to Kenya to try to promote the book. Jerome Corsi was arrested and will be deported. He’s actually lucky that the police dealt with him, rather than the people.
Mr Obama, whose father was a well-known Kenyan economist, is hugely popular across Africa.
In Kenya, his meteoric rise and subsequent fame have won him support across traditional tribal boundaries and left many ordinary people wondering why American right-wingers would wish him ill.
Hawkers in the city centre are selling badges and T-shirts bearing Obama’s image, and every twist of the US election campaign is being followed on television and radio.
Winning support across tribal boundaries? That sounds like a uniter, not a divider. I can go for that.
I don’t think people in Kenya are very keen to host a man who wants to smear Barack Obama and pull lame stunts at his expense.
Dr Corsi said he had a $1,000 cheque for George Obama, seen as part of a stunt to suggest that the senator was not taking care of his Kenyan-based relative.
Cute. Dr. Corsi was supposed to ‘file dispatches’ during his visit. Now he’ll be flying home.
