Author confirms Bill Ayers helped Obama write 'Dreams'
I’ll presume our definitions of ‘help’ and ‘write’ won’t be the same as 0bamy’s?
Anyone here have a kid at the University where Ayers is a professor?
As they sat around the kitchen table while Bernadine warmed up their coffees?
Hm, Bill Ayers, the guy Zero said lived in his neighborhood. Or some such.
Zero says one lie after the other. He’s lying continuously. He IS one big lie.
Just someone in the “neighborhood”.
Nonsense. Bill Ayers was just some random guy from his old neighborhood.

ANYONE who read Cashill’s highly persuasive pieces in WND, knew this MONTHS AGO. I saw Andersen interviewed just last night,(was it on Hannity) and ,yes, he confirmed it, but offered no credit to anyone but himself (implicitly) for the research. Bad move on his part. This guy could not be
nudged into making much of a judgement on either Michelle or Barack. Quite disappointing, but that , I guess, is not
“what he does”. Question is, now, does a more ‘mainstream’ writer like biographer Andersen ,give these claims any more legitimacy than Jack Cashill, who only has an Internet following? SOMEONE should put this as a direct question to Obama, or at least call him out on this oft-lied-about connection.
There's no deep connections here. None. /s/
Author confirms Bill Ayers helped Obama write 'Dreams'
This is frickin HUGE
mlo is heartbroken
If that's true, there may have been others who worked on Dreams as well, so that Ayers's contributions may be less significant than Cashill said.
Bear in mind that Andersen's speciality is books about celebrities, particularly the Kennedys, though.
It will be interesting to see what Andersen's evidence is, if he has real testimony or documentation about Ayers role.
Another question is whether the distinctive stylistic "fingerprint" that Cashill is talking about is or isn't really there (in a statistically significant way).
Last year, I thought it was much ado about nothing, that Cashill jumped to a conclusion based on a few sketchy similarities.
It would be something if Andersen's claim held water. I might have to eat my hat.

And now he’s turning to Qadaffi to author his foreign policy. The failure continues. That’s the thing about affirmaive action fascism
” writes that Obama was faced with a deadline with Time Books to submit his manuscript after already
having canceled a contract with Simon & Schuster.
Confronted with the threat of a second failure, his wife, Michelle,
suggested he seek the help of “his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.”
Hmmmm.
Obama’s sister Maya told the New York Times in May 2008 that Barry and Michelle moved to Indonesia for several months
in the early 90s, so he could finish his book after he failed to meet the first deadline.
Hat tip to Jim Geraghty at NRO in June 2008 , for being the only member of the media to notice this eye popper in the New York Times article.
” His half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, said he eventually retreated to Bali
( Indonesia ) for several months
with his wife, Michelle, “to find a peaceful sanctuary where there were no phones.”
The Obamas became ex pats in Indonesia for several months.
If George and Laura Bush or Todd and Sarah Palin moved to Indonesia
“ for several months “ you can bet every media outlet would have been all over this odd and unexplained departure.
And you would think Kenya would be a quiet place with no phones ....
Plus, the United States has many quiet places.

Peggy Noonan and Christopher Buckley, who so admired obama’s dreamy writing, are deeply saddened.
Ayers helped by writing it. Obama doesn’t have the skills or discipline to do the job, and he hasn’t lived long enough to merit an autobiography, not even a make believe one.
Ho-hum...another lie from Obama confirmed regarding his shadowy, manufactured life history. Throw it on the ever growing pile with the rest of them.
How credible is the source? If legit, this should have the red & blue Drudge siren.
