'Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar'
National Review Online ^ | 10/28/09 | K J Lopez

Posted on 10/28/2009 10:08:03 AM PDT by BigEdLB

This, from the president's chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Scott Johnson goes to town, in response.

Rocco Landesman, the NEA chairman, said, in part:

This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.

Except that Bomber Bill Ayers wrote "Dreams."

“first to write them”

The Kenyan was dithering. Michelle had to enlist Bill Ayers to ghost write the books which are little more than KGB legends.

I kid my liberal friends..that Obama is the only big political person who has written his own books. They know that it can’t be true..but they must defend it.

That clown must limit his reading to comic books.

This is beyond belief and shows how the low the “liberal arts” crowd has sunk.

The Obamaloon didn’t even write the pack of lies and bull-Obama that are contained within his first-grade level books...let alone even come up with an idea that would tax our local pothead.

The Secret Service should investigate this guy, this is a threat on Obama’s life. (i.e. comparing him to Julius Ceasar and Lincoln, victims of assassination)

I still don’t believe Obamao wrote his books by himself, but he did write them for himself, about himself, because that is all Obamao knows and loves, and it makes him a lousy writer. His subject matter sucks.

So are they saying JFK’s book was ghost written or just written badly? If I were Bill Ayres I’d demand a piece of the royalty check.
