Holy Cow! Bill Ayers DID Help Write Obama's Dreams From My Father
The Lid/Hannity/American Thinker ^ | 9/23/09 | The Lid

Posted on 09/23/2009 5:43:26 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

I have always put the people who said that domestic terrorist Bill Ayers helped to write President Obama's book Dreams From My Father in the same category as "truthers." I was wrong and I apologize.

In the new book, "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage,Journalist Christopher Andersen has blown a huge hole in the story that Obama wrote the book alone.

Relying on inside sources Andersen describes how "Dreams" came to be published. Anderson says that Obama had a bad case of writers block and after three years decided that he could not honor deliver the book and would have to repay the $150,000 Simon & Schuster had given him. The problem was the future President had spent $75,000 of the advance. In 1993, the publisher canceled the contract but let Obama keep the money after he plead poverty due to "massive student loan debt."

He was being groomed. He has been owned and dirty for a long time.

We are right about the natural born citizen issue too. Obama is illegally holding that office.

Here’s the way I look at it.

Writing a book is hard work.

Obama has never worked hard in his life. He didn’t write the book.

Not that my opinion of him could drop much further, but it fell through the floor tonight. In my mind he stole $150,000 from Simon and Schuster. He signed a contract and didn’t deliver, then when asked for the money he came up with some lame arse excuse.

What a scumbag.

I’ve written books, just starting to write another. It takes a loooong time to get your rhythm down, and yes it is hard work to do it right. The idea that Obama wrote that book right out of the box is just ludicrous.

They are in the same category as Truthers. That category being right.
And you will realize that if our court system will ever allow a hearing on the merits.

Oh, and so much for the MSM belittling Palin for working with a ghostwriter: Palin was honest and gracious enough to admit it up front. And Palin’s ghostwriter isn’t a criminal communist revolutionary.

Kind of makes you wonder just whose idea it was to write the books in the first place and why.

He then lied about being friends with the guy.

And we are supposed to call him President.
