Did Obama write Dreams From My Father?

Post by _richardMdBorn »

Jack Cashill, author of Deconstructing Obama, was on C-Span this morning.

Has anyone read this book?

Haven't read the book, but when the studies and comparisons were being done, I was actively listening to the talk shows that had the people involved on the shows and heard all the stuff they found etc.

According to the evidence it's absolutely clear that Bill Ayers wrote the book.

So why did Ayers allow Obama's name to grace the cover?

Before readers take Obiwan's word for anything, they would be wise to remember who they are dealing with. Obiwan also once said that everyone that attempted to assassinate an American president was a "left-winger." LOL!

Anyways, it's not clear that Bill Ayers even wrote his own memoir: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/ ... emoir.html

This is just more right-wing propaganda. I imagine that those commenting on this thread know very little about Bill Ayers, and even less about why they are supposed to hate him.

Hi Eric,

Have you watched any of the C-Span program or read any of Cashill's columns?

I'm 27 minutes in to the video clip. I think it's pretty pathetic, personally. Going through each sentence to check Obama's grammar? I'll let you know if my opinion changes once I'm finished listening to it.

It's amazing, a black man becomes president after years of slavery, lynching, denial of civil rights and now it's about his birth certificate, he is a secret moslem, hates white people (hates Mom). I hope Bell is wrong and there is a hell. That's where you belong Richard. Many of yor Americans are nuts about the way you go on. You give evangelicals a bad name. I imagine you probably think Jim Wallis is unsaved.

That's uncalled for. Richard is the last person who belongs in hell. I disagree with his politics and religious beliefs, but I can still recognize a good person.

At about the 41-44 minute mark, he suggests that Obama uses Ayers's girlfriend as his own. There was no evidence to support this statement, other than he didn't mention any other women besides Michele. Pretty weak, in my opinion. Still listening...

Because first Ayers was being what is known as a "ghost writer", thus there is no reason for his name to be on the book. Second, the book was about and to promote Obama, not about Ayers, that's why.

One of the reasons for this whole point is the fact that Ayers was much closer to Obama than he told, thus he is an absolute LIAR. It's not simply that someone ghost wrote his book. Of course not that those of us in the know didn't already know that. The other issue brought out that he also wrote "fictional" things about Obama, which is another example of Obama lies.
