Book Review! Where's the Birth Certificate by Jerome Corsi!

How can a book about Barrack Obama called “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” still be relevant and selling?
The controversy around Barrack Obama’s birth certificate continued for three years or so, and then the week that Barrack Obama provided the long form of his birth certificate, this very book came out and was on the New York Times best seller list. Jerome Corsi’s name was not unfamiliar to me- I’d listened to a speech of his on the webpage for the Constitution Party, a sort of obscure and smallish U.S. Christian Right political party. Jerome Corsi spent years trying to track down Barrack Obama’s birth certificate. The actual birth certificate was only part of his crusade and one of the topics covered in the book. Corsi argues that Barrack Obama wouldn’t have been considered eligible for the presidency by the founding fathers even if he was born in Hawaii because of his father’s British citizenship which inferred Obama with dual citizenship at birth.
The question of his citizenship and eligibility for the oval office is only one of the question that Corsi brings up in this book. He also goes into the question about the secrecy surrounding Obama’s college transcripts. There’s that whole thing that his social security number is supposedly a Connecticut number.
Corsi does actual nail the left with an incredible inaccuracy in so-far as for although the labeling of those on the political right calling for prove of the president’s citizenship as “birthers”, because there was controversy as to whether John McCain was eligible to be president on the ground’s he was born in the Panama canal zone and not U.S. soil, which was dismissed because his parents where both Americans and he was born on a U.S. military base.
These most recent months Corsi has been claiming that the borth certificate provided by Obama is fraudulent. For a while, the theories about Obama and the birth certificate got some very serious mainstream media attention, there were people like Donald Trump jumping on the issue. Because Barrack Obama produced what appears to be his long form birth certificate, the issue is likely to end up ghettoized in the realm of the right-wing conspiracy next to the 9-11 theories and the Jewish world banking conspiracy. A successful GOP candidate would be unlikely to even bring the topic up at any point. I don’t what the future on Corsi is, but it’s unclear who the Constitution Party is going to run in 2012. They ran Pastor Chuck Baldwin 2008, but Corsi has been probably getting more press lately then anyone else connected directly to the Constitution Party that I can think of, it would surprise me if they ran Corsi as their candidate- not that a Constitution Party candidate has a sinner’s chance in hell of winning. That would be fascinating to watch. Corsi is not an idiot by any stretch of the imagination.
That Corsi book is actually a half-way decent read. I was more engaged by it then other books coming out of the right that I’ve read lately, books by Michael Savage or Ann Coulter, for example.
