"...Mr. Obama himself writes about this at length in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father" - one of the best memoirs from any of our presidents...."

Surely Wes Pruden has read Jack Cashill’s work, and realizes by now that Bill Ayers wrote “Dreams.”

Well, there aren’t many real autobiographies or memoirs by our presidents. And of these few have any literary reputation.

Obamas book is actually quite well-written as far as it goes - of course, it was probably not written by Obama for a substantial part if at all, but we may never get the specifics of this. Lets assume for a moment that he was the writer -

Grant was a better writer, Nixon was a workmanlike writer but more substantial and fundamentally interesting, Jefferson was often fascinating but not a great lterary writer in his long works, Reagan could write very well indeed, but never wrote a real memoir - but after them, who else wrote anything thats not just plain dull ?
