Another thought came to me. “Book deals” are frequently money laundering. Someone wanted to give Soetero a few million, so they contracted for a book, an advance (the real payoff) and a ghost writer. There is no reason for Ayers to feel bitter or jealous or bad at all, he was simply part of the plot to make Barry a wealthy man with a big house in a good part of town so that he’d win an election.
There is a reason this story is floating, but it is not about Ayers, I suspect. Nobody um ah no- nobody thought, er, um, Barry um wrote it.
Maybe this is intended to discredit his two books, since they have him as a Muslim in Indonesia studying the Koran in school?
Good theory...it accomplished several key factors in the development of the “Obama Myth.”
