But maybe Obama did not pay in cash and made the mistake of paying Ayers with several checks.
If someone could find some Obama checks with Ayers' name on them---or somehow examine Obama's past bank account to see if Obama has paid Ayers money in the past---then this question of who actually wrote Obama's book could get interesting.
Of course, someone could ask Obama's wife if Ayers wrote or helped Obama write his book.
Her answer could be very interesting indeed.
I also think that Obama's experienced editor and publisher know for sure if Obama received any help in writing his book, even if Obama did not come right out and tell them.
I would think that an experienced editor and publisher would know who wrote what, especially when a first time author claimed that he wrote a first book all by himself.
Someone should put pressure on the editor and publisher to publicly confirm that Ayers---or any other ghost writer---did or did not help Obama.
There were LOTS of checks to Ayers with Obama's signature on them.
Obama was brought in by William Ayers in the late 1990's as CEO of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and Obama wrote lots of checks at the instruction of his operating officer, none other than Bill Ayers himself. Their address was on South Sangamon Street, just south of Monroe. Many of those checks went to Ayers' own "Small Schools Project" and other of Ayers radical educational experiments.
Someday, when the glow begins to wear off the Messisah, some left-leaning (and therefore respected by the MSM) reporter will become the next Woodward and Bernstein by following up on this.

At least $1 million in CHECKS to AYERS from OBAMA:
This is from Gateway Pundit, from last year:
