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.

Time to take out the garbage...ALL of it...its getting ripe and stinking up the place.......

This is not a trustworthy group — yes, they have things to tell — perhaps they know why we have not seen the REAL birth certificate???
You are correct and there are experts who specialize in this science. A skillful writer might be able to fool one for a couple of paragraphs or even a short article. But not with something of book length.

I don’t know, but we’d better get going on it — the time for talk is gone — we need to take action. I do think the Acorn revelations were a good start.

I agree. If he was a dyed in the wool Marxist we could push and he could push back - things could be hammered out. As is, it might be like pushing on a string. We say “this”, he says, “fine” and he goes and does whatever. It’s weird. The problem is that easily led narcissists don’t get far on their own - some alpha male is pulling the situation.... to where and for what is part of the unknown.
Re: “That looks like Ayers to me.”

It’s him — looks like he had a little haircut though. It’s just a matter of time before this Marxist house of cards comes totally tumbling down. tick tick tick.....
Looks like he did:
Renaissance Group celebrates 20th anniversary
The Renaissance Group (TRG), a consortium of 26 universities and an affiliated agency committed to quality programs for the preparation of teachers and administrative leaders for America’s schools, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary at its Fall Conference to be held at the Key Bridge Marriott Hotel in Arlington, VA, Oct. 4-6.
The conference theme is “A Time for Reflection, Celebration and Rebirth.” Speakers will include U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Under Secretary of Education Dr. Martha Kanter and Dr. William Ayers, distinguished professor and scholar from the University of Illinois at Chicago. ...
Did he say he wrote the book? Did he mean it? I have no idea, but from what I could see Cashill's analysis was far from "scientific."
I read about this before the election. I thought the scientific evidence was pretty damning. Obama had not written anything of substance until that book.
Obama and Michelle stayed in BALI for 6 months so that he could write it without interruptions.
I thought that was really odd. Why not hole up at home? It would be great to investigate if Bill was in Bali during the same time.
Is this for real? This should be all over Drudge.
Re: “What time zone did the author fly in from?”

She says she’s from Chicago - Central time — one hour behind DC’s Eastern zone.
But... I don’t think it matters — I have never gotten any correct dates/times on any of my own equipment — oh, it might be right for one day but something always gets messed up. More important to me is the overall credibility of the blogger — and that seems to be pretty high!
Re: “The fact that Ayers admits he wrote the book actually makes me less likely to believe he wrote the book.”
*********************
That’s precisely what Ayers WANTS everyone to believe —
It does seem odd that Ayers would just blurt out this confession to a stranger in an airport. However, once I heard it was a female blogger, I instantly thought that Ayers was showing off for her.
He tells her I’ll split the royalties with you. He’s using money as power. He doesn’t need the money, but in his mind, he thinks that will impress her.
Admitting he wrote the whole book is yet another way to impress her. He’s basically saying that he’s smarter than the President.
So now we’ve got money, power and smarts. He knows she looks down on him, that she thinks he’s a despicable human being, so to build himself up in her eyes, he wields a trump card.
It’s just too bad she didn’t pursue the bait even further. I would immediately have asked for a later time for us to talk more. Imagine how much more he would have dished.
This article reads like somebody’s fantasy.
RE: “The other “nuance” is that ghost-writes do NOT get royalties... as he so glibly states he will share. He got paid cold cash, no doubt.”
********
Yes, he got cash and it was EONS ago — I doubt there’a any paper trail........... Ayers can say whatever he wants and he loves messing with people. But I do believe he is telling the truth in saying he wrote the book — he knows how many believe it already; and he’s probably getting antsy being kept hidden away so much. They all do turn on each other eventually.

I sent it to Limbaugh — let his people investigate...
Dream Sequence
Who is going to stop Obama from nucelar disarming the US? Have you heard any objections from any quarter? I have not. He has said it out loud and no one in power is telling him to stop.
...just thought I might mention...I think his mother was in Indonesia at the time. Bali IS Indonesia.
