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.

THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS..didn’t anyone brief him on this?

I don't think that they did, Hildy. He found a way to bamboozle guilt ridden white elites all of his life. They lifted him up from one resume enhancing position to another without him ever having to actually do anything. He believes it too. It has always worked before. I would be sorry for him if I thought he was ever anything to begin with. But he is the worst person ever to run for president of the United States. No contest.

I hope Obama tempts fate for as long as possible.

I’m no fan of Corsi, but the real shame is that other networks won’t have the author of a bestseller on their shows.

It reminds me of Kerry’s drunken midnight press event, in which he sported 5-o’clock shadow and rambled.

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

So Obama, file a LIBEL suit if he is making stuff up and doing defamation of character. I triple-dog DARE you to file the suit.

A stump speech declaring he isn't a Muslim doesn't seem to get The Chosen One any closer to the White House.

The rookie doesn't understand it just keeps the focus on this issue.

Guess I told THEM!

You know he's in trouble when he attacks the number one cable news station.

[onedoug]

Notice “he’s” not on Fox News.

[LasVegasMac]

Shut up and sing stutter some more, moron.

[peeps36]

Berry is badmouthing Fox News because he can't refute what Corsi wrote in his book. He's flexing his bones and ear lobes in an attempt to divert attention away from the book. He will cry racism real soon if his numbers keep sagging like Madeline Albright’s chins.

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

It's worse, Laverne. He is a child. A man-child in an adult body. They told him they could make him the president. I think they believed it. I think that Tim Russert thought he could manage this. My God!

> Obama must be soundly defeated in November.

If he even makes it that far.

He may be in for a bad surprise at the Democrat Convention. The Wicked Witch is waiting in the wings.

If that happens, the black folks just won’t vote.

Either way, looks like the Donkeys lose in November, and, given the high gas prices and the anti-domestic-drilling fiasco of the Donkeys, they might lose bigger than just the top office.

I hope someone can come up with a picture of
Obama with a swirly, cause he is going down the tube.

[Republican Wildcat]

they'd try to make him out to be scary and risky.

We don't have to try very much - both because it is true and because you are doing a good job of it on your own.

[LasVegasMac]

I am reading that book right now.

From what I have read, everything is sourced back to the Messiah's books or otherwise verified and foot-noted.

Corsi is not making anything up.

[hole_n_one]

The FNC just played the video of his making the comments cited in this story.

The written text details what he said, but, you can tell by his body language and mannerisms as he says the words that Obama has been rattled to his core........assuming he has one.

“I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky,”

My tagline is reality and that’s why you’re both scary and risky.
