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!
Double-snort.
Not only was it all a lie, but the books themselves were written by a Stalinist who wants to murder 25 million Americans.
Bump for later
So what if he did? It's a big story.
I kept waiting for the comparison to "True Lies", as soon as he was given the "truth serum".
But there was so much other stuff that was outright hilarious: "koala on a submarine"?
I thought Obama said he had met Ayers only a couple of times, saying they lived in the same neighborhood.
Yeah, darn it! And you know what really ticks me off? That Van Jones guy is still in the White House every weekday because nobody reported on him, and nobody knows that ACORN is OK with tax evasion and brothels staffed by children.
Geez-o-pete, put away the crying towel.
The fifth column enemedia continues to spittle Barry’s lies and still no one seems able to build a good working guillotine.

Welcome home to FR. Let me be the first to give you a friendly slap on the back of the head. :-)
There, fixed it.
If you don’t know, then I’m not even going to attempt to explain it. Search on FR is your friend. We knew this long ago.
Oh and didn’t obongo say” This was just a guy that lived in my neighborhood”. I guess he forgot to mention that he also wrote the story that was deliberately written to create obongo’s past.
The problem is it’s not just Cashill (who is, I agree, a complete nut when it comes to Flight 800) saying it, it’s another author. Read the article.
How many people co-author a book with an unrepentant terrorist? How many people do so and lie about it?
“My guess is that by tomorrow a Nexis-Lexis of Ayers, Obama and Anderson will return exactly 0 hits”
It’s AMAZING how many things disappear from Nexis, isn’t it??
Just like an Orwellian Memory Hole if it might harm a Democrat.
“This is the biggest story in American journalism........ and Cashill’s body of work on this question is the greatest piece of investigative journalism in my lifetime.”
Very possibly, and rewarding to see you credit Cashill’s work.
“With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from “his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.”
Maybe this is true also, as he apparently had wasted a year on it at their Bali retreat courtesy of a generous advance from their publisher, with no manuscript forthcoming. But the stunning significance is the calculated construct of the image of this man was being created that many years ago, by a ghost writer, no less a domestic terrorist, replete with an alleged subtle mention of his birth certificate. The ‘birthing’ of an illusion.
It isn’t a new story, tho. American Thinker has covered this several times previously, for example:
