How can one accurately find out information about Obama's past associations (aside from his website)?


Was he really in the home of Ayers'? I know Ayers committed this crime when Obama was a child but if he really did launch

The Fact Check site has been generally praised as being unbiased.

Here's all we need to know about Corsi, from another book he wrote.

From jacket flap of the Corsi book "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil":

"Jerome R. Corsi and Craig R. Smith expose the fraudulent science that has been sold to the American people in order to enslave them: the belief that oil is a fossil fuel and a finite resource. On the contrary, this book presents authoritative research, currently known mostly in the scientific community, that oil is not a product of decaying dinosaurs and prehistoric forests. Rather, it is a natural product of the earth. The scientific evidence cited by Corsi and Smith suggests that oil is constantly being produced by the earth, far below the planet's surface, and that it is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth's rotation."

So much for Mr. Jerome Corsi, Ph.D.

You're right, that should about do it regarding Corsi's credibility.

first, drop your condescending tone of "oh ..." and "... now" if you really want an answer. otherwise i just consider this to be baiting me without an interest in discussion -and i don't have time for that. if you want to argue all media is biased, then the exercise in giving you sources is pointless.

second, factcheck.org is the most unbiased source you can find. Politico.com is also unbiased, providing factual information on both side of the campaign. prove to me that it is biased.

third, i am not convinced of media bias in general, until you offer proof otherwise, i consider the Chicago Tribune to be an unbiased news source as well.

fourth, thenextright.com is a conservative website (http://www.thenextright.com/about) as is Commentary (http://www.commentarymagazine.com/abouthistory.cfm). i provided the self-descriptions of the websites so you don't have to prove that - although you could have checked it for yourself before calling them "totally liberal".

therefore, i already provided truly credible information from at least 4 sources that should meet the criteria of anyone who interested in accuracy over accusation.

I'm confused-- nowhere in the original post was any reference to "mother that breastfeeds be more proud".

Hmmm - no accusations here, just pointing out a strange "coincidence" I just noticed. This *exact* same topic has been brought up *repeatedly* by another poster who, strangely enough, eerily similar username format. Hmmm.
