On a more specific level, Cashill's also pointed to Obama's use of the term "Mekong Delta" -- a phrase full of meaning to Ayers, but not likely to be in Obama's vocabulary.
Stokely Carmichael also appears in both Ayers' and Obama's books -- almost 20 years apart -- as an occasion of disappointment to Ayers in riot-torn Cleveland in 1966, telling the white man to get out of the way (after Ayers had spent the summer there convincing himself that he was solid with the brothers: "...by that time, I also thought I was black.")
In Obama's book, he appears in a lecture at Columbia in about 1985, and he is an old man who seems to throw Obama into confusion and despair, "It was like a bad dream...." Much like Ayers felt that day in Cleveland.
The more you examine the evidence for Cashill's theory, the more sense it makes.
Your points are excellent.Obama’s history shows him to be a puppet of the sworn enemies of America.
As Obama himself argues when asked about his connection with Bill Ayers, he was only a kid when the radicals and places mentioned in this book were in the news and in people’s consciousness.
Since Ayers himself was studying at Columbia University Teacher’s College in 1985, Ayers himself, having had a past connection with Carmichael, likely would have made it a point to attend the Carmichael lecture that the book mentions as having taken place on that campus that year. By 1985, Obama had already graduated from Columbia (1983)and was working elsewhere in NYC. Ayers, however, was still on campus in 1985 and in a better position to know that Carmichael would speak. Perhaps only Ayers heard him speak, or it’s conceivable that Columbia student Ayers told Obama that the lecture was going to take place at Columbia and they attended together. The one with perspective and resonance about Carmichael would have been Ayers.
I agree with the theory that Ayers and his terrorist wife Bernardine Dohrn and their radical Left associates saw in Obama the idealized white man/black man that Ayers and they could never be. They used their national and international connections to attract money and influence into making Obama their Marxist surrogate in the U.S. political arena. Obama’s Marxist code words are theirs, but most Americans don’t know Marx or that they are hearing in Obama’s speeches mini exhortations to help him destroy their country.
Hmmmm - I missed that one! To me, that virtually confirms it, because "Mekong Delta" would have been completely meaningless to anybody Obama's age. He might have known what it was, but it certainly wouldn't have any emotional resonance.
I think this whole book is really just Ayers' pathetic attempt to become black, as you point out in that quote, and the center-less Obama's pathetic attempt to let someone give him a persona. However, I wish these people could have done their psychotherapy without trying to take over the country. Maybe a little primal scream or a drum circle?
