Back in October of 2008, before Barack Obama was elected, Jack Cashill of American Thinker offered up an interesting theory: Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s best-selling Dreams from My Father, not Obama. His theory was ridiculed and ignored by the mainstream media, of course.
But now there’s support for it from a surprising quarter. Christopher Anderson’s book about Michelle and Barack’s marriage, intended as a see-no-evil love fest of a tome, may have inadvertently blown the lid off the Obama book’s authorship. As Cashill points out:
To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, “These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.” Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, “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.”
Andersen continues, “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.”
