For more than a year I have been making the case that Bill Ayers played a major role in the authorship of Barack Obama's acclaimed 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father.
And for more than a year the hundreds of literary and political critics in the major media have refused to even glance at what is arguably the most consequential literary fraud of our time. Astonishingly, not one of the myriad reviewers of Christopher Andersen's bestseller Barack and Michelle even commented on the six pages he dedicates to confirming my thesis.
If analyzing the several Ayers and Obama books in question is too much of a bother, I would recommend these critics wander through any two pages of Dreams and concentrate on the nuggets of fraud and falsehood they can find without even looking hard.
As an example, let us take a look at the two pages of Dreams (144-145 in the 2004 paperback) in which young Barry Soetoro first visits the mainland. The date of the visit is specific: "during the summer after my father's visit to Hawaii, before my eleventh birthday." This was 1972. Traveling around the country on Greyhound busses with his mother, grandmother and baby sister, the ten-year old Obama and his family "watched the Watergate hearings every night before going to bed."
Of course, Obama took this trip a year before the Watergate hearings, which actually began in the late spring of 1973. This is not an isolated misrepresentation. From the flow of these two pages, I suspect that Ayers took the raw data of Obama's life and improvised as he saw fit. He does this throughout the book to score ideological points and make the case for Obama as political prodigy...

Obama is a fraud...as is his presidency!
I’m 100% sure you’re right.
Thanks.
“Obama is a fraud...as is his presidency!”
Hypothetically, let’s say that this true. If so, then it’s an even worse case scenario. It basically means that the entire Federal Government is illegitimate. The Congress that refuses to investigate and the judiciary that doesn’t have the stones to pursue any of the numerous cases brought forward. We can exclude the executive branch by the nature of the charges — they are understood to be corrupt in this scenario. In essence, none of them are legally standing up to their oaths of offices which I take to mean that we basically don’t have to take anything they do seriously. If they won’t honor their oaths and honor their offices, then hypothetically, we don’t have to honor anything forthcoming from them ever again. At least until we elect new Congress critters who will honor the oath of office to the Constitution or we elect ourselves.
You got it! I think were are headed towards a Constitutional crisis unlike any in the history of this wonderful country!
I think we need to have it. If we don’t were doomed and the American experiment dies. All Americans need to do some hard thinking now. I would hope that we could get together and fix this marxist nightmare before it’s too late.
Interesting and I agree with the summation. It can’t be found any different if we hold the US Constitution to be the supreme law of the land.
Later.
