Obama / Ayers Link Surfaces In An Oblique Way
Barack
Obama's personal relationships and their effect toward the way he
governs are a little like discovering the effect of sun spot activity
on the climate of the Earth!
In a new book just released,
Christopher Andersen’s Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage,
a reference was made based upon information the author was able to get
through interviews with friends and neighbors. Normally, this
information would not mean so much, but in the light of the multiple
Czar appointments and the lack of background check of those in the
shadow government Barack Obama is setting up ... without Congressional
oversight, combined with the recent revelations of Van Jones (recently
dispatched Green Jobs Czar due to radical, political affiliations that
were recently uncovered), and independent ACORN
investigations/convictions for illegal activity, this past connection
validation becomes of greater importance.
In
Barack and Michelle, America’s First Couple is scrutinized in stirring
detail by Christopher Andersen, author of thirteen New York Times
bestsellers including Jack and Jackie, Somewhere in Heaven, and the
phenomenal #1 New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day
John Died. Subtitled Portrait of an American Marriage, here is the
first in-depth look at the popular U.S. President and his beautiful,
brilliant, and stylish First Lady. Caption & Image Credit:

An Old Claim Arises Once More: Did Barack Obama Write ‘Dreams From My Father’?
By Ron Radosh - September 23rd, 2009 8:52 pm - Pajamas Media
Those
who were skeptical of Barack Obama’s bona fides before the campaign,
particularly the nature of his apparent relationship (or
non-relationship, if you believe Obama) with Bill Ayers, will be
stunned by Jack Cashill’s new revelation. Remember Cashill? He is a
Ph.D. in American Studies from Purdue University and a blogger at
American Thinker, one of the multitudes of conservative websites.
In
October 2008, Cashill penned a much discussed blog, in which he
suggested the possibility that Bill Ayers actually was the ghost writer
for Barack Obama’s powerful memoir, Dreams From My Father. His claim
was so reminiscent of the discussion before Bill Clinton’s first
campaign about who wrote the novel Primary Colors, which bore only the
name “Anonymous.” Some suspected Joe Klein, the political journalist.
Klein vehmently denied the allegation. Then, he was forced to admit
authorship when a literary detective compared phrases in Klein’s
writings and those in the novel for New York magazine, and Klein was
forced to hold a press conference admitting that he indeed was the
author.
----
And so his effort became just another one of those
apparent conspiracy theories so prevalent in the ranks of both the left
and the right. Then at the end of June 2009, Cashill returned to his
original article.
----
Again, the two contributors and Cashill
played literary detective, offering more examples of strange
similarities in the metaphors used in both Ayers’ Fugitive Days and in
Obama’s Dreams. One of them found 759 striking similarities. Cashill
found one of his contributor’s analysis to be “systematic,
comprehensive, and utterly, totally, damning.” You can read his article
and judge for yourself.
And now, Cashill picked up the new
bestseller about Obama and his wife, Christopher Andersen’s Barack and
Michelle:Portrait of an American Marriage. What he found simply threw
him for a loop because, I suspect, it was the last thing Cashill
expected to find. Andersen writes in his book that after Obama finally
got a new contract to write a book, Michelle Obama suggested that her
husband get advice “from his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.”
----
Obama
had not as yet written anything. But he had taped interviews with
family members. Andersen writes: “These oral histories, along with a
partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.”
----
Andersen
also writes, quoting a Hyde Park neighbor of Obama: “Everyone knew they
were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was
no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both.”
----
Finally,
Christopher Andersen concludes: “In the end, Ayers’s contribution to
Barack’s Dreams From My Father would be significant — so much so that
the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and
themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers’s own writing.”
Let
me make the point as sharply as possible. A book about the relationship
of the first couple, their history together, and their road to the
presidency makes the point in passing that is precisely the same as
that made by Jack Cashill. Most reviewers, and readers, will probably
read this in passing and go on.
----
In the meantime, Cashill promises us more is coming. I, for one, look forward to reading what he comes up with.
