I had heard that Ayers was the ghostwriter for at least one of the books, but I didn't know there was an original by Nobama himself that needed cleaning up.

I read something else yesterday that is suspicious, too: When Nobama was a student at Columbia, Bill Ayers lived not a quarter-mile from where Nobama lived. Given Nobama's proclivity to seek out lefties ('left-leaning professors' and others cited in his books as the friends he 'chose carefully'), what are the chances that Nobama met Ayers in NYC while in college?

Would that explain why he chose Chicago after college? (Chicago is Ayers' home town, his father was a big utility exec and politically connected) Nobama had never lived there before. And it would also explain why, after Harvard, he was hired by the law firm Bernardine Dohrn (married to Ayers) worked at -- they could have recommended he return to Chicago with a job waiting.

The reason I find these 2 people interesting is that they have truly disgusting views of America and capitalism. They were both awarded rings by North Vietnam, the rings having been made from the metal of U.S. planes that were shot down. When Bill Ayers got his, he was moved to tears, such was his solidarity with Vietnam's 'cause.'

I just can't believe that Nobama and Ayers just bumped into each other in Chicago, and I can't believe Nobama was chosen on merit for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and I can't believe Ayers would have chosen anybody for the Chairman of the it's board unless that person was completely trusted by Ayers and completely like-minded...;-))

That is interesting Bit, I didn’t know that Ayers lived in NY. I knew he was a Chicagoian. You know when he an his mrs was given those rings made from a downed American aircraft, he should have stayed in VietNam, he would fit right in. But being the good communist he is, it was more important to teach young people the wonders of utopia, ie, communist russia, china, venezuala, where everyone gets to live in poverty, except the rulers.

I think you’re right about Ayers and nobama being friends for many years and yes you’re right about Ayers putting nobama in charge of CAC because they thought alike.

Yes, I’ve read nobama has written 2 books, both shortly after college and both about himself. These 2 books turned into the 2 we know about. And yes, I’ve read Ayers may have cleaned up both and made them into what they are today.
