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.

Exactly.
thanks, bfl
That looks like Ayers to me.
That is preciselly the point and it seems very much in character for him. He seeks fame and recognition. Why else would he publish his own book (released on 9/11/01 of all things) averring that his one regret was not bombing enough? I think his nose is out of joint because the Omessiah sitting in the WH now claims to have barely known him. And isn't it interesting that the link came through Michelle? I wonder if he was paid for his work?
I don’t believe this. Of course he can prove it. I suspect that this article is fantasy, or bait.
It's just a hunch but I think you're right.
LOL
And Hillary refused to pay her ghost writer for Living.
Jack Cashill has shown Obama to be a bold faced liar. When are the republicans going to man up and take this POS down?
I believe the technical term is Omerta. :)
Interesting. Ayers gave a interview months ago saying Obama was wrong to stay in Afghanistan or try to finish there.
But also interesting, maybe Obama is not doing their bidding fast enough. So this is a warning shot of what they will reveal if obama doesn’t move more quickly.
Ayers throwing Bumbi under the bus?
Better watch it Bum, Ayers is the master.
What if he is legally bound to keep it a secret?
He wouldn’t be able to come clean in public. Maybe this little private meeting is his way of saying “I can’t say anything. Prove it for me”?
He already has fame and recognition. And he himself is a writer and has published books in the past. We aren’t talking about some no-name guy who can’t write and needs some no-name reporter to get the word out for him. If he wanted this story to come out, he could easily write a book titled something like: The Man Behind Obama’s Dreams. And it would be a bestseller, no doubt.
It may come to a point where the liberals desert this clown, after hanging a skunk around his neck (some malfeasance). Clinton destroyed their power for several years. I think they learned their lesson.
Another thought came to me. “Book deals” are frequently money laundering. Someone wanted to give Soetero a few million, so they contracted for a book, an advance (the real payoff) and a ghost writer. There is no reason for Ayers to feel bitter or jealous or bad at all, he was simply part of the plot to make Barry a wealthy man with a big house in a good part of town so that he’d win an election.
There is a reason this story is floating, but it is not about Ayers, I suspect. Nobody um ah no- nobody thought, er, um, Barry um wrote it.
Maybe this is intended to discredit his two books, since they have him as a Muslim in Indonesia studying the Koran in school?
“That was Sunday, not Monday as the article claims.”
What time zone did the author fly in from?
In the Rathke interview he all but gave outright confessions of starting ACORN under false pretenses. He said he proposed his agenda to the ACORN forerunner but they told him no but allowed him to work for them. Rathke then said that he failed miserably at their agenda but did manage to advance his own.
At the end of the interview, Rathke made a comment about being lucky there were so many poor people in the world. It left me with the impression that the poor people mean nothing to him but are a useful vehicle for the agenda.
I just have a gut feeling that the marxists are at a vital junction and they can either succeed or it can all blow up in their faces.
So Anne Leary left Chicago and went to the trouble of tracking down Ayers in Reagan airport in Washington at a Starbuck’s coffee shop (the company sign is clearly visible in the photograph). Afterwards, she invented all of their conversation.
Did Ayers actually attend a conference in D.C. that same week? How hard would that be to prove?
I do not believe for a minute that Ayers cares about the royalties from the book, he is wealthy to begin with (his daddy who kept him out of prison ran one of the largest utility companies in America), but I do believe his ego requires that he receive some recognition for promoting and advancing Obama. It had to kill him to be muzzled during the 2008 campaign, but he followed instructions. Now that Obama is securely in office until the 2012 election, Ayers is feeling cocky again and he shot his mouth off.
