It's an old point about Obama's early life experience, but when I read about the formation of the book Dreams From My Father, a thought or two similar to Robert Stacy McCain's ran across my mind:
"A 28-year-old law student gets written up in the newspapers, then gets a call from a literary agent? She calls him?
The agent then signs this 28-year-old nobody — whose only credential as an author is student law journal stuff — with Simon & Schuster. Hello? In what alternative universe does this happen?
He misses his deadline, but that's OK, because he then gets another big contract with a $40,000 advance. At this point, Obama's story is reminding me of another popular book, The Peter Principle.
But the real killer is how, having gotten a contract based on a proposal for a book about race relations, Obama pulls a bait-and-switch, and instead delivers ... a memoir.
A memoir! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?? Unless you led the league in RBIs and helped the Yankees win the Series, how the hell does a 28-year-old get away with selling a memoir to a major publisher for $40,000?"

Because someone with big BIG money and influence is behind him, that’s why!
He, Obama, is the ultimate facade of an empty suit whose beliefs mirror those of the person backing him.
My primary suspect for the puppet master is George Soros.
You are NOT supposed to have noticed that connection to Soros’ money.
Was just discussing this with a friend today.
Like the Wizard of Oz, who is behind the curtain??
Hahahahahahaha!
“The turtle is on the fencepost.”
You cannot talk about Obama’s ears, wife, pastor, birth certificate, smoking habits, or book deals.
Putin, or Hackaloogieonmydinnerjacket, are prime candidates also. Or some Saudi, they shure have the ENEMEDIA bought off lock stock and barrel!
HBO is a Damein with Handlers watching over him from early age?
It could be Oprah. They attended the same church and she was the first to push his candidacy, on her show. $40K is pocket change for her.
Or - "The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction."
Or - "AFL-CIO Kicks Off Campaign to Dispel Obama Rumors 7/29/2008 - The New York Times reports that the AFL-CIO will "mail fliers to more than 600,000 union members in four battleground states - Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - telling them that Mr. Obama is not a Muslim and often wears a flag pin on his lapel." To dispel rumors that Obama is a Muslim, the flier states, "Barack Obama took the oath of office on his personal family bible. It was Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, who was sworn in on the Koran."
Or - Louis Farrakhan - "Obama's mother married Lolo Soetoro, a Wahabbi extremist who lived in Indonesia. When Obama's mother moved to Indonesia—before she married her second Muslim husband—she enrolled her son in Francis Assisis Catholic School. He was enrolled as a Muslim because he was a Muslim. The enrollment form required each student to choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when enrolling: Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, or Protestant. Had he been a lifelong Christian, or even a recent convert, he—or his mother—would have circled Protestant."
Just imagine who Barack Hussein Obama would surrond himself with should he become president....he owes these people big time.
Barack Hussein Obama is entirely a creation of George Soros Productions, much the same as Jiminy Cricket was conceived and created at Walt Disney Studios. Jiminy was Disney celluloid and Barack is a Soros android.
Obama’s legal rep for his publishing deal, is Williams & Connolly of DC. Same firm, defended Clinton in Whitewater.
Same firm, hired infamous PI Terry Lenzner and associates.
Many persons with inside knowledge of Clinton’s dealings,
ended up dead (often via “arkancide”). Connect the dots..
Jack Cashill checks in on the origin of this book in his latest blog. You can read it here:
http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/who-wrote-dreams.htm
The agent, Jane Dystel, is the daughter of publisher Oscar Dystel (Bantam Books), a longtime Dem Party contributor. Don’t know if her Dem roots had anything to do with her decision to publish Obama, but it seems possible.
Someone has put the turtle on the post.
The people who surround him are the names we’ve known for the better part of 40 years. So why is it that the agenda is always the same and the face is the only thing that changes?
My candidates for the source of most of those “small donations” under $200 is either Soros or the Arabs, maybe in tandem. It only takes a computer program to break up 200$mil into those little unreportable bites and most of that money comes from the internet.
It’s beginning to sound like Obambi has been groomed by Ayers (Sr, I assume) and Soros since he was Obambino! Trojan horse, indeed!
“Here's another excerpt from the NYIMES piece:
“When his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention sent his memoir soaring out of obscurity and straight onto the best-seller list, he untethered himself from his longtime literary agent in favor of Robert B. Barnett, the Washington lawyer who had gotten Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton an $8 million book advance and then landed Mr. Obama a $1.9 million, three-book deal.”
Er um... “untethered himself from his longtime literary agent”... ?!?!?
THIS IS SO OFF THE MARK IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A LIE.
OBAMA SUMMARILY BROKE THE CONTRACT HE HAD WITH HIS AGENT JANE DYSTEL WHO PUT HIM ON THE MAP WHEN HE WAS A NOBODY.
HE DID THIS AS SOON AS A BIGGER AGENT CAME ALONG - RIGHT AFTER HIS KERRY CONVENTION SPEECH.
OBAMA AND HIS 1st AGENT SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
BUT THIS EPISODE REVEALS A PATTERN WHICH WE HAVE SINCE SEEN OVER AND POVER AGAIN:
Obama ditches friends as soon as it becomes advantageous to move on.
His mother. His agent. His pastor. Et al.
Obama is a low-life ingrate who doesn't know the meaning of the word LOYALTY.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.”
Obama had a little mom who’s fleece was white as snow
And everywhere obama went, to her he said “no, no”.
You can’t be gettin’ in my face
I have to win by daddy’s race
I’m here to fake the change and hopes
To all those goofy liberal dopes
Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
“The agent then signs this 28-year-old nobody — whose only credential as an author is student law journal stuff”
Did he even write anything for the Harvard Law Journal?
Actually,it’s the exact sound my cat makes when she whoops up a hairball.
And it's pocket change to Simon & Schuster. But, believe me, Simon & Schuster doesn't throw money at rookie talent unless they've been told to -- by somebody with clout.
Moreover, they don't throw a second advance and an "attaboy" to writers who miss their deadlines.
Further, my understanding is that, once he got the second advance, he left Harvard and was offered a professorship at the University of Chicago. The understanding was that he was there to "write his book", not teach, and an office and secretarial help was provided.
Still, Obama couldn't seem to come up with a book. He left Chicago...and went to Indonesia for six months. It was there that he "wrote" the book.
Leading to yet another question: Not only who funded the book? But who wrote it?
Plus, a third very important question: Why?
Bankroller, yes. But "puppet master", no.
Somebody else is calling the tune. Somebody who might have access to Soros' money.
Obama is clearly somebody's creation, representing a long-term investment. They might lease him...but they wouldn't sell him.
You know what? That would make a good campaign poster for the O-fraud. Turtle on the fence post.
Perhaps if one could discover who made a similar trip to Indonesia at the same time?
Bravo!
That would be a good place to start.
Of course, that person wouldn't have necessarily come from the U.S. Could easily be an expatriate who now had residence overseas -- in, oh, say, Russia or China...
So, he was a at the U of Chicago to "write his book." How special.
Most interesting reading.
The person behind the curtain is the same one who orchestrated Deval Patrick's rocket ride into the MA governor's office.
Quick! Who is it? Dr. Dean at the DNC?
**The Messiah moves in mysterious ways.**
Yes, Jesus Christ does move in mysterious ways in our modern world.
Obamanation just THINKS he is the Messiah.
I don’t know who is behind it all. Clearly it’s not Dean. He’s not a big enough player.
Deval Patrick - Obama’s buddy - came out of nowhere to run for governor of Massachusetts. He (actually, they) pushed out loyal party members who were in line for the job. Any potential candidates had negative stories all of a sudden appear in the Boston Herald and Globe. It was not the local Irish/Italian/Black mafia or the Boston College big money guys who were behind it.
The Kennedys jumped right behind Deval, just as they have been pushing Obama. It seems to be more than just anger toward Hillary. It’s a finely orchestrated movement. Big players are involved.
