Anti-Obama book to be launched in Nairobi today

Update: US author of anti-Obama book detained in Kenya (Yahoo News, 10/07/08)

The author of a smear crusade against Barack Obama is in Kenya to advance a negative campaign against the US Democratic presidential candidate on his ancestral soil.

Dr. Jerome Corsi, who authored "The Obama Nation; Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," launches the book this morning at the Laico Hotel, Nairobi.

The book questions the Illinois senator's character, his links to Prime Minister Raila Odinga and attacks Obama's fitness for the White House.
