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.

why would this guy admit that he wrote the book? what royalties?
Something's gotta give, and my nickel's on the Won.
If the story is true, the writer writes so poorly that it doesn’t even sound true. And why would he admit it to HER, a nobody? (At least, I’VE never heard of her.)
OK, I can envision bouncing this off any current 0bama supporters.
They’ll excuse it, say it doesn’t matter, etc.
Anyone talk to a Clinton supporter after he admitted lying to us about the affair? Excuses, saying his private character doesn’t matter, etc.
With a leftist, it’s all about the goals, not about following the rules and having good character. In fact, it REQUIRES people of low character to “get the job done” in most cases.
“Sounds like possibly Obama is not praising Ayers as much as he should”
***
He had to distance himself from him during the campaign-”he’s just a guy who lives in the neighborhood”. Obozo isnt about to come out of the closet just yet.
Author Defends Claim That Ayers Helped With Obama’s Memoir (CNN video interview) (CNN/Breitbart Sept. 27, 2009)
As the ACORN tapers are realizing, even if you are aware you are taping a conversation being held with you in a public place, some activist judge could call it an invasion of privacy. At least in DC.
No, you are wrong. That exactly the sort of thing an arrogant nut job like Ayers would say.
This really is the question, all this other stuff is interesting, but pertinent only to what it tells us about Bam. Americans usually have a pretty good sense by now of what their President is about and how he will react in a difficult situation. This is usually based upon extensive scrutiny during the campaign and his time in office by the media.
In my mind this is the biggest risk and failure of the media, we have no idea who this guy is, what he is about and what he will do when difficult decisions with no clear winning approach are placed in front of him (like Afghanistan).
We are learning, however. Van Jones, ACORN, the Olympics, teleprompters, etc (and there is a long list) are a pretty good indication that we have a serious problem, we are dealing with an empty suit narcissist with no philosophical/personal foundation who is not really that bright.
He is so vulnerable to being manipulated by so many people. It does not bode well for us, especially if things get nasty.

“No, It wouldn’t be easy. Probably, obongo gets them and pays Ayers. OR, he stopped paying him, or maybe he never did.”
A couple of those involve the reporting of income vs tax evasion...
Anyone ever dug up ayres tax records?
bkmk
“Why would Ayers admit he wrote the book?”
Barry is failing to do the job Ayers, Klonsky, and the others sent him to do.
The Ayers quote, if real, was a warning to the puppet to start dancing, or else.
All of what you say is logical enough if the only possibility were that Ayers thought this out ahead of time and he planned to out himself.
It could have been a matter of exquisite happenstance. We have no idea what might have occurred in the hours and minutes just before their encounter. Some tipping point, some Obama snub that was eating him raw at that very moment. Having blurted it out, he reels it in with the taunt, “prove it.”
In such a scenario, a no-name reporter makes sense. He’d have been on guard with a known journalist. No worries, though. She’s just a blogger.
....ahhh, why is this not a bigger headline?
BTTT
Thank you, your clarification is mosst enlightening...:-)
I'd take that chance.
