Editor's note: Jerome Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" is available today for immediate shipping, autographed by the author, exclusively from the WND Superstore.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The question is jarring, surreal and intensely controversial: Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen of the United States and therefore constitutionally eligible to be president?
Repeated national polls – even after Obama's recent release of his "long-form birth certificate" – suggest tens of millions of Americans don't believe he is legally eligible. And while the mainstream press continues to ridicule "birthers" as conspiracists, kooks and racists, dozens of lawsuits cite Obama's dual citizenship and other problematic parts of his past as unequivocally disqualifying him from the U.S. presidency according to the original meaning and intent of the Constitution.
Into this already incendiary political drama now comes mega-author Jerome Corsi – both of whose two previous No. 1 New York Times bestsellers have profoundly impacted the U.S. presidency – with "Where's the Birth Certificate?: The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President." Published by Washington, D.C.-based WND Books, a division of online news giant WND.com, the book launches nationally on May 17.
But a month before its debut, it had already rocketed to No. 1 on Amazon's bestseller list.
In fact, Obama's release, after years of stonewalling, of what is purported to be his long-form birth certificate, was a preemptive strike against this book. As the Washington Post has documented, it was April 21 that Obama had his team of lawyers contact Hawaii about releasing the document. That would be exactly one day after "The Drudge Report" featured Corsi's book, propelling it to top bestseller status. Obama's preemptive move was understandable: Presidents and presidential candidates have been afraid of Corsi ever since "Unfit for Command," coauthored with John O'Neill, thwarted John Kerry's presidential ambitions in 2004.
