I am not sure what to make of the story that Ayers has now admitted to writing Obama's autobiography. If it pans out, that is to my mind a very big story. Stay tuned. But I do think I should revise my earlier poo-pooing of Jack Cashill's effort to prove the Ayers-Obama connection. A while back, a close friend of mine (and a pretty famous person in NR land) harrangued me about how I didn't give Cashill's argument enough attention or consideration and that it makes a pretty persuasive case. This friend then walked me through it for a while and I was impressed. I'm still sure what the truth is but whether this latest story pans out or not, I figured I should at least withdraw some of my, uh, poo-poo.
Has anyone else carried this story? I think this is huge.
A reporter has to get either Obama or that boytoy press secretary on record about this. And no weasel words in the question or answer, Obama should make it clear if he wrote the entire book, some of it, if he had help from other authors, and to outline Bill Ayers’ exact contributions to the book.
You’d think it’d be a lot bigger than it is.
The problem with this being sufficiently hugh and series is that Ayers, a cop-killing communist, could easily lie with a straight face. Was it a sham admission? It reminds me of the riddle about the tribe that always lies and the tribe that always tells the truth. Then you have Ayers, from the tribe where you can never quite tell.
“A reporter” needs to get Barry on record about a few other things too. Too bad reporters don’t work at the White House.

I think Cashill has made a very good case. I also don’t think it makes the slightest bit of difference. Zero’s supporters either know he’s a put-up job or couldn’t care less.
Too bad reporters aren't admitted to the White House.
ML/NJ
Dead men tell no tales.
Maybe Ayers is starting to hear things go “bump” in the night.
Yeah, and Ayers wife is such a sweetheart too /deep sarcasm on...
My GOD! Give AYERS credit for something! Dr. Cashill has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that OBOZO is so hopeless that he cannot construct a coherent English sentence let alone flowing prose! Have YOU listened to just one of OBOZO’S stammering digressions from his trusted Teleprompter? Obviously, Hell NO!
AYERS is now the JILTED MENTOR and It LOOKS Like AYERS is rather P*SSED with His deviant former Protege’!
Oh, I agree that Ayers wrote the book, TRP. But anything out of his mouth is likely to be a straight-faced lie, so what sort of witness is he in this case? There’s always the suspicion that he’s punking us all, sort of like a verbal version of a Kenyan BC. The irony is that this is probably one of the (rare) times he’s telling the truth, but he can’t be harmed much by it, since it’s coming from his own lying mouth.
But he raised the issue, and someone should call him on it.
I’m sure the WH has contacted him for an explanation.
If he was joking, then ask him, “why would you joke about that?”
SINCERE GRATITUDE AND THANKFULNESS TO DR. JACK CASHILL FOR HIS AMERICA SAVING DISCOVERIES OF OBAMA HUSSEIN’S MASSIVE INTELLECTUAL AND LITERARY FRAUDS PERPETRATED ON ALL OF US AND OUR DEAR AMERICA ARE OWED BY ALL OF US, and ESPECIALLY BY THESE ALLEGED KNOW-IT-ALL EXPERTS LIKE GOLDBERG,BECK, LIMBAUGH, O’REILLY, HANNITY, and even COULTER and MALKIN who Poo-POOed the findings until proven Unconditionally! FOR SHAME ON THEM!! Maybe those so-called “EXPERTS” will eat a little of their Just Do CROW and Apologize to Jack NOW!
The fact that he raised it might be a good reason to suspect his motive. It sounds to me like an audacious dare. Are we being psyched? He knows it’s a mighty hard thing to prove. (Look how hard it’s been to prove anything else about Barry’s so-called life story!)
I wonder who?
That was the big lie - echoed by the leftist zombies, that Obama barely knew Ayers. I didn’t believe it, Obama looked like he was lying and he was.
And if Ayers is not a cop-killer himself by planting the bombs or pulling the trigger, he aided and abetted those that did.
Anyone, including many on this site, who took any note of Cashill's work, and then read, or even skimmed "Obama's" ridiculous book, and then X-checked any 20 passages of Ayer's book, would soon see that Ayers was more than likely the author of both, or at the very least smell a rather large literary rat.
By now, it is obvious to all but the most prejudiced that our alleged POTUS, left to his own meager rhetorical and intellectual resources, is (a) inarticulate, and (b)pretty much an idiot... or to be more charitable, at least woefully, and even perhaps invincibly ignorant. This has not gone unnoticed by those overseas who wish the United States ill.
What Goldberg is admitting, and attempting to turn into a virtue, is his complete failure to do his homework; not his Calculus homework, his remedial English Comp 101(a) homework.
Go LES!
“Ayers? Oh, he’s just a terrorist ghost-writer who lives in my neighborhood.”
Oh the Ghostwriter’s a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
And the Communist’s a person in your neighborhood
They’re the people that you meet
When you’re walking down the street
They’re the people that you meet
Each Day
“Ayers? Oh, he’s just a terrorist ghost-writer who lives in my neighborhood.”
. . . who also baby sits the babies we were punished with.
That “Dreams” was written by a black man—a work of genius!
Written by Ayers—flowery prose.
Affirmative action in literary criticism?
And to think that the young Mr Buckley voted for O because of “his” book.
Even if Ayers didn’t write the book himself, he almost certainly had some hand in its writing. This reveals yet another Obama lie ...that he barely knew Ayers and only from sitting with him on some organization board.
*******
I can see signs like the following hounding Obama during the 2012 presidential campaign:
"That just a guy in the neighborhood wrote my book."
Any idea how many millions our alleged POTUS is banking as multiple copies of this foolish soon-to-be-a-feature-film-like-"Roots"-book pour in a never-ending stream into every school library, public library, college library, VA Hospital library, USAID foreign libraries around the globe, Armed Forces Base Libraries, + substantial book store sales, not to mention special editions to grace the bookshelves of the faithful?
We are talking serious, Oprah-type moolah here. The Bomber Ayers, millionaire though he may be, is probably kicking his own gluteal regions over the missed opportunity to share in the swag, which when the movie hits, will be astronomical, even dwarfing his huge trust fund from dear old dad. Poor Bomber Bill! He probably doesn't see a nickle from Tee Shirt Sales, either.
OBTW, when are the San Francisco prosecutors going to indict The Bomber Ayers for murder? No Statute of Limitations there.
He had no answer to that. Just looked at me. Then he turned and walked off, and said again his bit about my proving it and splitting the proceeds ...
Now why would Anne Leary jump in immediately and say “why would I believe you, you’re a liar?” I don’t know if this story is true, but she did a really poor job regardless. If you’re trying to get information from someone, you don’t shut them down like that ... you keep asking answerable questions.
That was my thought too.
What kind of dumb thing is that? Getting great information and suddenly saying You’re a liar and making the guy walk off ... this part makes little sense - but the rest sounds very believable ...
Maybe she should send him the proof and then ask where’s my share ???
Let’s say, as the liberal blogs are saying, that he played with a young journalist who didn’t have a notebook or tape recorder.
But, then I ask myself why? why would joke about that? why open the can up...unless you mean’t too?
I agree with the other FRs here. This guy’s ego is so huge that he’s upset that he got next to nothing for the work he did.
That's something I hadn't thought of.
He wouldn't be the only literatus who was wooed by the words of The One.
The correct spelling of this is "pooh-poohing". It has nothing to do with poo.
Perhaps . . . then again, it may be diminished by the guy's ongoing screw-ups. I was in a $5 and Below store today shopping for some small toys. I was surprised to find that they were already selling coffee table books about the anointed one for a couple of bucks each. I also found a huge oversupply of Beanie Baby stuffed animals - Bo, the White House pooch. Even Bo isn't selling and is ending up at the discount stores. Too bad, so sad . . .
