 The British newspaper "The Independent" called Corsi's book "a hatchet job on Obama".According to "Slate", "neither Corsi nor Matalin responded to e-mails from me asking whether they intended to correct "any" errors in "The Obama Nation" – it would be a miracle if there were "none"" [emphasis in original].The book also contains what "The Washington Post" describes as "potentially offensive passages" about Barack Obama's personal and family life, such as one stating that Obama is less identified with his American roots than his "African blood".
