Now on bookshelves: “Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves and Letters of America’s First Postmodern President” by Jack Cashill, published by Simon & Shuster. The new book uncovers “major discrepancies in the accepted narrative” of President Obama‘s life, particularly his earliest years. Mr. Cashill says the news media is indifferent to such information. He’s also convinced that former University of Illinois professor Bill Ayers — who co-founded the radical Weather Underground in 1969 — helped craft “Dreams From My Father,” the president’s much-acclaimed memoir.

Medved had Cashill on his show yesterday and the conversation was amazingly well balanced. Medved is still in the 'birthers are nutty' crowd but he seemed persuaded by much of what Cashill had to say.

Cashill has done some great research and is pretty persuasive on this issue.

Which is why I’m sure the media will never mention this book.

The pending release of this book is also probably why the media has been pushing the whole ‘birther’ issue this week. It’s like out of the blue they decided to ask every Republican before a microphone if they would renounce the ‘birthers.’ I knew something was up.

Cashill needs to get on Hannity’s show on Fox. Or even better with Greta. No chance at all with that jerk O’Reilly who has put the truth on the back-burner while he kisses up to Obama in hopes of keeping up his interview-stream.

I’m sorry I missed Medved’s show yesterday.

I finished reading Cashill's book last night. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants a facts-based account of the holes and omissions in Obama's life story, and the unraveling of the authorship of Dreams from My Father.

I hope it gets a lot of attention and draws the media to ask them.

But that is a hope that will never see fruition
