LYNCHBURG, Va. — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) personally went on the attack Wednesday on a best-selling new book that falsely describes him as a closet Muslim.

Talking about "The Obama Nation," Obama said author Jerome Corsi was just making "stuff up."

“But it gets a lot of play on Fox News,” he said to loud boos.

The news network has interviewed Corsi.

Obama said GOP attackers have "been very good at campaigning,” and he added that they'd try to make him out to be scary and risky.

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

More whining from the "Messiah".

And the downward spiral continues.

Gee, I saw Corsi on CNN too is he going to attack them too?

[Roscoe Karns]

he added that they'd try to make him out to be scary...

As scary as Fox News?

Shut up and sing

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

Must you say that? "I don't find" - firm words! /sarc

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

With NO experience and associates like Ayers, you qualify for both scary and risky. Get used to it.

He couldn’t last 1/2 day in GW Bush’s shoes...What a think skinned rat he is...THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS..didn’t anyone brief him on this?

[Doctor Raoul]

How do you spell "desperation"?

Lets see, Olberman went after McCain and Davis for complaining about MSNBC, will he go after Obambi for complaining about FNC? (joke question).

Obama needs to grow up, he is acting like a child.

Obama is nothing more than a whiny b!tch. Anytime anyone says anything bad about him, he cries like a little girl. And he wants to be President? He whines almost as much as Huckabee.

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

Therein lies Obama's biggest problem. He thinks his "hate America" views, developed in his own little Marxist bubble, are completely natural and normal.

Obama must be soundly defeated in November.

[Parley Baer]

Yep, it sounds like he is falling apart. He doesn't seem to be able to stand any criticism. Maybe he has a chip on his shoulder from attending to many Reverend Wright sermons.

[csmusaret]

Hey Barry! You pour the whine, I’ll cut the cheese.

[Viking2002]

I didn't know there were six liberals in Lynchburg who could boo that loudly......

I just finished reading “the Obama Nation”. Kenneth Vogel is wrong in the first sentence of his article on Politico when he says the book “falsely describes him as a closet Muslim.” Corsi does not describe him that way.

He does trace the Muslim influence on Obama. The Muslim roots of the Obama family in the Luo tribe in Kenya. The Muslim stepfather in Indonesia and the probable Muslim instruction that Obama received in that country. Etc.

But, he accepts that Obama was baptized at Trinity and professes Christianity now.

It’s reasonable to examine the influences on Obama as he was growing up. It’s not the same as assigning as a closet Muslim.

Vogel appears not to have read the book himself. That doesn’t stop a lot of people from having an opinion anyway.

That's the scary part.
