Time's Joe Klein said he didn't write Simon & Schuster's forthcoming Obama novel. Several other Beltway figures, in media and politics, have also denied being the anonymous author behind "O: A Presidential Novel," which hits bookstores next week.
Given such denials, could the field of likely suspects be narrowing down too much? Simon & Schuster seems to think so.
NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd tweeted Tuesday that he received an email from the publisher that included the following request: "You may be asked to comment on whether or not you are the author. If so, it would be great if you refrained from commenting."

They know its a good way to build up hype.
I wonder if Michelle wrote it?
I can’t tell — does this novel show Obama to be a shallow, addled-brained nincompoop who will do anything to gain power and destroy the country? Or does it show him to be a miracle worker who is brilliant beyond belief and dedicated to healing all the problems of the world?
I thought it was that Gibbs guy, what was his name? Bob Gibbs. Joe Gibbs. Whatever.
This is Oprah's love story!!!!
The title should be: A novel president.

new and not resembling something formerly known or used
“I cant tell does this novel show Obama to be a shallow, addled-brained nincompoop who will do anything to gain power and destroy the country? Or does it show him to be a miracle worker who is brilliant beyond belief and dedicated to healing all the problems of the world?”
If it’s the former, then I’d suggest Newt Gingrich. If it’s the latter, then it can only be Billy Ayers.
Those are some big ears! LOL!
In other words:
NEIN, MIT DER FREI SPEECH!
Who knows Obama better than Bill Ayers?
If this book includes a scene where he's with a white girl, paddling a canoe around a lake on her father's estate and there are autumn leaves dappling the water, we'll know it's Ayers.
After all, he's already written that scene twice...
And a scratch golfer and 300 game bowler.
