Obama did not write "Dreams From My Father"
www.cashill.com ^ | October 13, 2008 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 10/13/2008 3:26:50 PM PDT by MichaelAsher54

The emergence of a previously unseen writing sample proves all but conclusively that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write Dreams From My Father, the book that Time Magazine has called “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.”

The emergence of a second writing sample, this one by a legitimate author, provides convincing evidence as to who did.

In 1990, the University of Illinois at Springfield published a collection of essays called After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois. Obama contributed a chapter, titled: “Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City.”

1990, by the way, was the year that Obama, the newly elected president of the Harvard Law Review, received a six-figure advance from Simon & Schuster to write what would become Dreams From My Father.

“Winter came and the city turned monochrome - black trees against gray sky above white earth. Night now fell in midafternoon, especially when the snowstorms rolled in, boundless prairie storms that set the sky close to the ground, the city lights reflected against the clouds.“

Sorry, but that's the typical ghostwriter's way of writing. It's got ghostwriter all over it.

“the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.” Good freaking grief. Ever heard of Grant’s Memoirs?"

It doesn't matter if you're correct. What matters is that your culture and history have been hijacked under your nose: The Tuskeegee airmen won the war, Maya Angelou supplants Robert Frost and your children's public school curriculuum has been carefully circumscribed by the Ayers of this country.

Anybody in America besides me tired of being called racist for thinking O is short for fake orgasm?

The guy is a shadow of a shadow.

Then again, if you want to make something of that, it’s racist to say so.

That’s my interpretation. I seriously doubt that Obama wrote these books, and having grown up with people like Ayers, I know exactly how they work.

Another thing that makes it less likely that the books were written by somebody of Obama’s age is that they actually sound like something written by somebody 20 years older than that. It is clear that the writer was very influenced by Frantz Fanon - who Barry probably would have known about, but who was really no longer a big deal at the time he was in college. However, Ayers was of the Fanon generation, and all the white boys who read Fanon wanted to be black. (Fanon was of mixed blood himself, and identified his black “half” as the good, virtuous part of him, and spent most of his life trying to work out theories of “blackness as virtue.”)

So the only accomplishment aside from a speech Obama has...he didn’t even do. I wonder....did he really play on his state championship team OR was he the most glorified benchwarmer in all of history? GOV. Palin has accomplished so much more with so much less help, yet people still question her “qualifications”. PFFFFTttttttttttttttttt

Also note that Obama is out for blood. He will immediately seek to get republicans thrown in jail, mainly due to foreign concepts of ‘war crimes’ [originating from the UN and the World Court].

Repbublicans better derail this guy, or we’ll follow the path of Canada, where conservatives were thrown in jail while leftists profiteered off tainted prison blood and stayed in power.

George Manos, the 75-year-old Republican, told police that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists. Manos said two other elections workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls police.

Manos said it happened after he accused Walker of ballot tampering, and he wants to prosecute.

I’m sure you’ve read the Jessica Hughes story by now. Nothing about this clown surprises me....plenty frightens me, but nothing surprises me. But our candidate says he’s an honorable man. UGH....counting down until 2012.

They came for Jessica, and I will not be silent [WND]
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=77825
[I had pinged a related thread earlier. An outrage.]

The caller was a female Obama volunteer who asked if Jessica would support Obama for president.

Jessica replied, “No, I don’t support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.” Then Jessica hung up.

The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.

The Secret Service agents stated that the Obama campaign had complained of a death threat. They had quoted Jessica as saying, “I will never support Obama, and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor.”

“Someone may have coached him in how to write in the style of his two books.”

Hair splitting point, but I suppose worth noting.

The bottom line is that, if McCain were tight with Robert KKK Byrd, and there was even a HINT that Sheets Byrd might have helped McCain write a book, do you think the drive-bys would let that report go?

I’m adding the Jessica WND report to tomorrow’s morning ping. Glad this report is still circulating. Hannity spoke with Jessica and took the SS side. [I can’t blame him. At least he let her speak to his audience.] FRegards ....

One thing I should have added this morning is that, yesterday afternoon, Hannity went over the recent polls. That poll that had BO ahead by 10 was weighted toward democrats by 9%. Hannity thinks McCain is behind, but only within the margin of error.
