"Obama did not dedicate Dreams From My Father to his mother, or to his father, Barack Senior, or to his Indonesian stepfather. Missing from the dedication are the grandparents who raised him in Hawaii." Actually, on page XVII of the book, Obama wrote: "It is to my family, though—my mother, my grandparents, my siblings, stretched across oceans and continents—that I owe the deepest gratitude and to whom I dedicated this book."
Why is Simon & Schuster, a respectable publishing house (they even published me, long ago), now pumping out raw sewage? And why is S&S employing an “Editor-in-Chief” who describes her latest floater as “a piece of scholarship, and a good one at that”?
A piece of something, yes, but scholarship? Hardly.
If you ever want to witness the difference between the political left and the political right please examine the reviews for Jerome Corsi's new book The Obama Nation. It has been subjected to a bizarre campaign of 1 Star reviews over the course of the last two days. All of these reviews appear to be ideological in spirit and produced by radicals who have not read the book--a fact that they do not hide by refusing to mention anything about its particulars.

A second Obama book will take an opposite position.
