How Author Obama Foreshadowed President Obama
American Thinker ^ | 12/03/2013 | Jack Cashill

"I've written two books," Senator Barack Obama told a crowd of teachers in Virginia on the campaign trial in July of 2008. The teachers applauded. "I actually wrote them myself," he added with a wink and a nod, and now the teachers exploded in laughter. They got the joke:

Republicans were too stupid to write their books.

Although few fussed over Obama's second book, a first-person memoir/ policy brief published in 2006 titled The Audacity of Hope, Obama's 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father had emerged as the sacred text in the cult of Obama "There is no underestimating the importance of Dreams From My Father in the political rise of Barack Obama," David Remnick would later write in his exhaustive look at Obama's life and career, The Bridge.

The only problem, of course, is that Obama did not write either of those books "by myself." He was as incapable of writing those books as he was of guaranteeing that his eponymous health care system would allow millions of individual policyholders to keep the health care plans that they liked. Still, he had no obvious qualms about deceiving the public in either case.

Mendacity was just one of the predictive traits on display in Obama's literary career. As a would-be writer Obama also showed himself to be narcissistic, indecisive, opportunistic, and exploitative -- character flaws that even his allies have come to acknowledge in our forty-fourth president.

Obama owed his literary career to a 1990 New York Times profile on the Harvard Law Review's first black president, a position he attained through an unholy mix of affirmative action and white guilt.

Another lie,... wasn't it just revealed like 2 days ago that Bill Ayers did actually write one of them? (long suspected)

Breitbart went to a dinner hosted by Bill Ayers and Dorn - they won it by buying all the tickets in a raffle or something like that... and they were distracted by how unbelievably nice and charming they found Bill Ayers to be.

They had planned on giving him the hard-hitting questions but never quite got to it.

Of course Ayers made sure of that by surrounding himself with servers and wait-staff that were members of his group- and Breitbart did mention that a few of them had a hard time concealing their hatred for him.

Anyways, my point is that evil gets away with it so often because it presents itself with a charming front.

The article is long but well worth the time to read in it’s entirety.

The author has pegged the guy for what he is.

Now that we know his “Biographies” were really “Memoirs” and were not true at all, we know less about him now than we did when he was first elected.

Although it’s clear that Obama lies all the time which is bad. I think the situation is much worse. I do not think that he knows that he is lying, and I am not joking. I think he feels that the truth is whatever he says it is at the moment. We have a leader who is disconnected from reality and cannot see the world as it is. This is a disaster for every citizen in this country.

It just so happens that another article was written in the AMERICAN THINKER today, addressing the same question:

Every time you scratch below the well-orchestrated public relations facts of this man’s biography, you find another lie. And another. And another.

One might almost think that this man wasn’t real.

That he was a prince of lies.
