There I was, sitting in Reagan National Monday morning, sipping a Starbucks by the United counter before going through security. I had a little time, so I was browsing through the news. That's when I saw Bill Ayers, an instant blight. Scruffy, thinning beard, dippy earring, and the wirerims, heading to order. I gathered my things, got my camera ready, and snapped a shot right when he got his coffee.
He gave me an uneasy cheesy smile when he realized I was taking his picture.
I asked--what are you doing in D.C. Mr. Ayers?
[He said] he was giving a lecture in Arlington to a Renaissance group on education--that's what I do, education--you shouldn't believe everything you hear about me, you know nothing about me.
Then, unprompted he said--I wrote Dreams From My Father. I said, oh, so you admit it. He said--Michelle asked me to. I looked at him. He seemed eager. He's about my height, short. He went on to say--and if you can prove it, we can split the royalties. So I said, stop pulling my leg. Horrible thought. But he came again--I really wrote it, the wording was similar. I said I believe you probably heavily edited it. He said--I wrote it.

It's possibly the best news we could have - OBAMA MIGHT NOT BE A CRAZY RADICAL like Bill Ayers.
He's NOT the nut who wrote Dreams...
So we're back at square one - who is Obama?
Cop-Killer
If this is TRUE, then it’s a report from “UNDER THE BUS”! Guess he’s on the outs with the Bammys!
I thought it was revealing that in another piece of writing by Bill Ayers in which he discussed his Hyde Park neighborhood, which is in Chicago near the Univeristy of Chicago campus, that when he described his various neighbors in print Ayers identified Barack Obama as “a writer.” Not as an attorney, not as a community activist or organizer, not as a legislator or a politician, but as “a writer.”
It seemed like Ayers was trying to perpetuate a myth or advance a fraud at that time also.
I love people watching at Reagan National - over the years I have met Sergant Shriver, Col. Sanders, Linda Byrd Johnson, Tony Snow (he used to live in my neighborhood)and others (BTW Tony Snow and Col Sanders are nice people). Most recently spotted Garrison Keillor (Prarie Home Companion) at the TGIF Resturant. When I told my wife who the guy was she didn’t believe me, so we spooled his image up on the I-Phone. Warning folks, Garrison has not aged well (online photos are at least 10 years old). He sports a really bad dye job on his hair and looks like some guy from the mission. My wife wouldn’t let me start a conversation so we just made jokes about being above average. If it had been Bill Ayers, I would have likely whispered to him that their was a bomb on his plane, just to see if he would report it. Can you imagine the LEO taking a bomb warning from Bill Ayers? That would make for a real nice headline. If I was arrested I would just deny it and ask whether you should believe a guy with no record or one with one with regards to bombs. Would make real good reality TV type story.
Communists and criminals always like to maintain a veneer of “plausible deniability” for later use.
Me, too. I read it as more of an "I'm screwing with you" type of thing.
Ayers is a little nobody - a trust fund baby - I doubt his big fat ego could handle the praise Obama was getting for HIS book. He's a creepy little man/boy...
Turns out some of the stuff in the book - memories - never happened to Obama. There's holes in Obama's history now... holes we need to understand. Worst case? Mole. Best case - weak but decent man. It's gonna get interesting.

Pretty good deal.
Half-ownership of the President.
I believe it was a long time before it was revealed that John F. Kennedy didn’t wrote ‘Profiles in Courage’. How do you take credit for other people’s work? You really have to be a low life to do it without batting an eye lash.
Kennedy, Obama, two people who didn’t write the books that helped create a false image of them, that the people bought off on.
No character... just sleazy pretenders at least in one aspect of their public persona.
Thanks for my morning chuckle......you are awesome....without saying any words, you have tapped into hundreds of minds. Good for you! Keep up the creative thoughts.

Bill Ayers: “I wrote Dreams From My Father”.
as much as i believe its true and i read the articles on here comparing Ayers work with Dreams,how can i just accept as fact this occurred?
How can i believe he would say this and cast a shadow over the man he helped put in the White House?
feels improbable.
They always end up eating each other.
Ayers better watch himself, or he'll be one of the first in line for the neo-Purges, one of the 25 million dead white people he called for. Those who don't show enough fervor for the Pres__ent will act as an example for the rest of us.
There are two things in this world that don't matter a single but, until you aren't getting enough; sex and air.
I miss Tony Snow. He was so admirable. Loved the guy, even when disagreeing with him.
In his memory, we’ll forgive him the immigration tone deafness. He was just doing his job.
RIP Tony. And may God bless your family.
