Last Thursday evening at Montclair State University, with a video camera rolling, Bill Ayers volunteered that yes indeed he had written the acclaimed Barack Obama memoir, Dreams from My Father.

Unprompted, Ayers also noted that while Dreams deserves its praise, Obama's second opus, Audacity of Hope, is "more of a political hack book."
Not surprisingly, Ayers retreated into irony as he ended the session. "Yeah, yeah," he said after confirming again that he wrote Dreams, "And if you help me prove it, I'll split the royalties with you. Thank you very much."
With his final comment, the Ayers-friendly audience laughed in relief. The media will laugh nervously upon seeing the video as well. The White House will not.
Barack Obama knows what I know and what the people who have read my book, "Deconstructing Obama," know: Bill Ayers is the principal craftsman behind Dreams. The evidence is overwhelming.
Ayers also established, as I have contended from the beginning, that he is not the author of Audacity of Hope. Although Obama claims unique authorship of this book too, it was, as Ayers suggests, a disingenuous feint to the center written by committee.
Worse for Obama still, Ayers knows that the story he and Obama contrived in Dreams is false in many key details. The fact that Donald Trump has proved willing to challenge that story has got to make the White House even more apprehensive.
As was obvious in his speech at Montclair, Ayers does not like the application of force in Libya, and this may have been his own way of retaliating. Consider it a shot across Obama's bow. The White House will.

Although I believe he did write it, when I watched the video it seemed he made the the statement that he wrote it like he was joking - that was my distinct impression.
I don’t think it’s a “smoking gun”.

To: Hacklehead
He was likely being sarcastic.If done well, it's a great way to cover the truth that he really DID write it.

Ezra Klein, Joel Klein, EJ Dionne, or any of the other Journalistas.

He's making a joke, because I think it bugs him that he had a big hand in writing/editing it, but gets no official credit.
He probably got paid a flat fee, and did it mostly for political reasons. When he hears it praised, it really irks him that Obama gets all the credit.
Tears of a bomb-throwing clown.
