...David Maraniss’ new biography of Barack Obama makes clear that our president lied to his autobiography to the point that the book is “literature and memoir, not history and autobiography.” Maraniss adds that “The character creations and rearrangements of the book are not merely a matter of style, devices of compression, but are also substantive.”
But Obama presented Dreams From My Father as autobiography, not literature. The book does contain a disclaimer. Obama wrote that the dialogue in the book is “an approximation” and that some of the characters in his book had been compressed or combined. But he did not disclose that his character creations and other “rearrangements” altered the substance of his life story.
Maraniss is a smart guy. He must have known early on in the project, and maybe even before he commenced it, that Dreams From My Father would not hold up as an accurate account of Obama’s life.

He didn’t riteit anyway, Bill Ayres did
he took a little bit of an authors privilege with the truth, he has done it all his life.
Guilty as sin and free as a bird.
By voting for Obama, the American people showed that they believe in fables and for the MSM to support him shows that it does not report the truth.
No cherry on top?
Obviously, nothing has changed. 'Transparency' is the new 'black'. Or maybe it's the other way around .... 'black' is the new 'transparency'.
..there is a likeness
It’s not surprising that Zippy lies about himself.
The amazing thing about it is that he believes his own lies.

I don’t think that he particularly resembles either man. I don’t think he looks like his mother, either.
I don’t know about a nose job, but Barack X seems to have changed ears between 1999 and 2009.
Yes, looks like he had the lower parts of his ears pinned in. But what interested me is how little his ears resemble his father’s.
Don't try to identify anyone in a line-up, is my advice to you.
me thinks the 1999 ears are Photoshop.....being the thin skinned narcissistic he is...
I sincerely hope that there won’t ever be a necessity for me to identify anyone in a lineup. :)
By running McCain against him, the Republicans showed that they believe the Obama agenda,because they haven’t and won’t mount a conservative candidate against him.
I think Americans are tired of getting ‘vote for the lesser evil’ every election. They will not ‘hold their nose’ and vote for Romney because the party insists its the ‘right’ thing to do. Romney is every bit of a leftist as Obama, and the party has veered that direction with the ‘climate change’ plank they have in their platform.
Its curious that the MSM isn’t running with the vote fraud going on in the republican nomination process. You’d think they’d be chortling with glee at the opportunity to report fraud and dirty tricks against the republicans. Except maybe they all belong to the same club. Maybe that’s why.
You decide.Your pics 3 and 4:
The same general head shape, the same lips, the same chin, the same sneaky eyes.

I’ve seen another comparison of Obummer to Malcolm X - both are smiling. The similarity is stunning. Without delving into the weeds, on the surface, Malcolm X being the father answers a lot of ‘whys’ .... why the path was paved for this skinny little ‘nobody’ with a sleep-around mom. Why the wheels were greased for him to get into/go to college (he’s not that smart & he’s a pothead), why Ayers was so solicitous, why he was brought up Communist/anti-American and why there has been so much time and attention to sanitizing his records and making up a biography. Why he was shepherded down the path to the presidency. I think Stanley Ann & X’s paths crossed - they had the opportunity ...
Uh huh, and I’ve seen Michael Jackson morph into an Eskimo girl.
