Indeed, in "Dreams," it is on the subject of black rage that the author writes most eloquently. Phrases like "full of inarticulate resentments," "knotted, howling assertion of self," "unruly maleness," "unadorned insistence on respect" and "withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage" lace the book.
In "Fugitive Days," "rage" rules and in high style as well. Ayers tells of how his "rage got started" and how it evolved into an "uncontrollable rage – fierce frenzy of fire and lava."
Hmmm.
Obama's descriptive, poetic writing in "Dreams" should be on example SOMEWHERE else, a law review article, a high school essay, ANYWHERE?
Or can he not write at all?
Well, we KNOW he did not actually WRITE ANY Harvard law Review articles, but (at best) only edited (one or two) other people’s writings.
At the law firm in Chicago (after Harvard, after his commuity organizing “work”) he reviewed pieces, but did not write any original works - that have come to light.
So, why WAS he sent to sit on the beach in HI for 18 months to write a first “ book by an unknown author” for a very, very large pre-publication price?
