In his new book, "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage," Best-selling celebrity journalist, Christopher Andersen, has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so.
Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how Dreams came to be published -- just as I had envisioned it in my articles on the authorship of Dreams. With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from "his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers."
To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, "These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers." Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, "Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both."
Andersen continues, "In the end, Ayers's contribution to Barack's Dreams From My Father would be significant--so much so that the book's language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers's own writing."
More to come!

I read your post #69. So what impact will this story have on the Obama WH?
It is? Shame no one will know about it, well maybe a few.
Now if this was about Bush......never mind
I wonder how much the MSM will cover this.
++++++++++++++
Will the MSM = FMSM = PLM matter on this story or ANY other?
MSM = Mainstream Media
FMSM = Formerly Mainstream Media (cr. Tony Blankley- http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_tony_blankley/end_the_coarsening_of_civic_discourse)
PLM = Partisan Liberal Media

Why is this not getting more play on FR or anywhere?
This is MASSIVE!!
A rose is a rose is a rose.
A rose is a rose is a rose.
+++++++++++++
Ah, the FMSM is more like the thorns..
Then theyll just smear the whey out of Jack and subject him to more ridicule than they have Senator McCarthy and the John Birch Society combined!!!
++++++++++++++
OK, but what about what Andersen wrote?
Why is this so huge? People co-write books all the time.

Not with terrorists..
Obama, Ayers, and Farrakhan all live within 2 blocks of each other
+++++++++++++++
They could be jogging buddies...

From IBD article:
“Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.”
All good except ‘distinguished’, which is a word with a positive connotation - no such thing as a distinguished professor of socialist REVOLUTIONARY ideology in my book.
I guess it’s kind of like using remarkable, a remarkable terrorist; or distinction, a terrorist with distinction from the run of the mill terrorist?
I would like to know if anybody will ask Colin Powell, get him on record as to eating his words from his Meet the Press *timely* endorsement:
Quote:
"On the Obama side, I watched Mr. Obama and I watched him during this seven-week period. And he displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge ... but showing intellectual vigor."
More importantly, quote:
"And I've also been disappointed, frankly, by some of the approaches that Senator McCain has taken recently, or his campaign ads, on issues that are not really central to the problems that the American people are worried about. This Bill Ayers situation that's been going on for weeks became something of a central point of the campaign. But Mr. McCain says that he's a washed-out terrorist. Well, then, why do we keep talking about him? And why do we have these robocalls going on around the country trying to suggest that, because of this very, very limited relationship that Senator Obama has had with Mr. Ayers, somehow, Mr. Obama is tainted."
No so very, very limited at all, Gen. Powell -- what say you now, not only to your thinking he was this giant intellectual but to the fact that he lied to every single one of us and used you and your reputation, eh??
Hey Washinton Post - if Nixon had told this kind of lie - you would have covered it. Why not cover this lie? Hannity?
None of it is 'good'. And "distinguished professor of education" at UIC is his official title at the university.
This is hardly a big deal. Lots of celebs use ghost writers. It is not like his ties to Ayers were not known prior to the election or prior to now.
It did not matter last election. After seeing his behavior as president maybe Ayers, Rev. Wright etal will matter more in 2012. But other than that this confirms what we knew about his book and probably books.
++++++++++++++
How many people use TERRORIST ghost writers? I don’t think that’s an actual job description - but that is Bill Ayers job description - least ways, I couldn’t find it in the DOL’s Standard Occupational Classification:
http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_majo.htm
Bammy tried to distance himself from Ayers in every way possible...just a guy in my neighborhood. *We* all knew differently, but bammy’s scrubbed version of this and his association with Rev. Wright is what the media shoved down everyone else’s throats, just like the scrubbed version of Bammy’s past, scholarly and professional record (LACK OF ANY RECORD WHATSOEVER).
I wouldn’t think the American People would put up with such a blatant cover-up and LIES (so many lies). I wouldn’t think they would allow the government to pervade with such LIES and obfuscations...at least not when Richard Milhous Nixon was involved and they shouldn’t with this TOTUS either.
"Daniel Ellsberg (born April 7, 1931) is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of government decision-making about the Vietnam War, to The New York Times and other newspapers."

"As a response to the leaks, the Nixon administration began a campaign against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally. Aides Egil Krogh and David Young under John Ehrlichman's supervision created the 'White House Plumbers,' which would later lead to the Watergate burglaries."

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...
From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

You can see I was referring to the language, right?
How many people use TERRORIST ghost writers?
Yes, that was an incredibly stupid comment, and a large part of the reason we are in this mess today.
Colin Powell: “And why do we have these robocalls going on around the country trying to suggest that, because of this very, very limited relationship that Senator Obama has had with Mr. Ayers, somehow, Mr. Obama is tainted.”

Good pull quote. Thanks.
Methinks Powell is done with American Politics - unless he runs as a RAT.
