Obama cast too big of a net during the election. He promised too many things to too many people with conflicting expectations. Did the boy “genius” think he was going to keep a coalition with Bill Ayers radicals and Jim Jones Democrats together? How soon his tenuous coalition would unravel was the only question. We now know the answer to that question is lightning fast. It seems like his chickens are coming home to roost.
Bill Ayers has made a stunning claim that he wrote “Dreams From My Father”. This could be a bombshell if confirmed. I suspect Ayers is frustrated with Obama. Remember, before they helped launched Obama’s political career, Bill Ayers and his nympho squeeze, Bernadine Dohrn, made their bones as hardcore anti-war protestors. Obama’s trepidation and inaction on Gitmo, Iraq and Afghanistan must infuriate them. This seems like a shot across his bow from the radical left.
“WARNING: We Made You; We Know You; Advance Or We Will Expose You.”
Bill Ayers may be many insidious things, but he is not stupid. He is cunning and manipulative. I doubt his comments were an accident. Perhaps the radicals know that their window for radical institutional change is short and that Obama is wasting precious time. Or perhaps they believe Obama will fail as a traditional Democrat and would rather not attach themselves to a lame duck “sellout” who will set back their movement.

Steph C (Diary) Tuesday, October 6th at 8:49PM EST (link)has a number of articles on this very subject one of which talks about a book by another author, I think a biography in which M.O. supposedly told the author that Obama had the notes, the advance, and nothing written and she encouraged him to take the stuff to Ayers.
More than likely Ayer’s confession is an attempt at damage control since that book mentioned on AT is relatively new on the market.
Other articles on AT deal with an analysis of writing styles, etc. Well worth a read if this topic interests you.

Oh, and buying the gas for the fancy cars, too.

There's Swamp's proof right there, Erick
redneck_hippie (Diary) Tuesday, October 6th at 9:45PM EST (link)Anything on Obama’s web site is a lie, unless proven otherwise. Especially the one you cite. Obama is skeered the truth about the authorship of his “auto” biography will come out. Therefore, Ayers is just a passing acquaintance.
Inconvenient truths require high-profile lying when it concerns the POTUS.
I’m only half kidding. I don’t think there are enough years and centuries left before the end of days to prove all the statements of the left are parts of The Big Lie.
Ayers: "Michelle asked me to"
izoneguy (Diary) Tuesday, October 6th at 10:28PM EST (link)Maybe this blogger is being punked?
But Ayers said he wrote “Dreams”….
http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2009/10/bill-ayers-no-dream.html
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
I dont know what to make of this
Illinicon (Diary) Wednesday, October 7th at 12:53AM EST (link)There has been a convincing case to be made that Ayers did help write some if not all the book but why would Ayers just freely admit it as according to the blogger this was not asked about prior to to the statement? My guess is that Ayers is trying to yank our chain because he knows he was just a sounding board and/or editor for Obama and or believes there is no concreate proof ever tying him to being a ghost writer and he is hoping this turns into a major issue on the right so the claim can be proven not to be factual and used to discredit the new media by the fringe media.

A distraction for the Right?
TNJim (Diary) Wednesday, October 7th at 1:42AM EST (link)Yeah, possible. It would be classic Ayers. But nevertheless this claim of Obama’s that Ayers was “just a guy in the neighborhood” holds even less water than it did before, if this is true. Which wasn’t much.
Ayers Hates Democrats
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Wednesday, October 7th at 9:33AM EST (link)He always has. The real radicals always thought the Democratic Party was the real enemy of progress. That had always been their target not the GOP.
I think Ayers may have thought this moment would have been more transformative and empowering. Obama may seem like a radical to conservatives, but he is being tepid in the eyes of the far left. If they think their energies are being absored into a status quo government, they will revolt. Ayers knows that Obama has to be stealth, but he still hasn’t done enough in their eyes, especially with respect to the wars and American “imperialism”.
Because it's a replay of:
Steph C (Diary) Wednesday, October 7th at 6:23AM EST (link)“Guilty as sin, free as a bird.”
Just because he might have done it doesn’t mean anybody can actually prove he did it.

Probably Ayers just having a laugh knowing people are ready to scoop up his lies with a spoon. I’ve got more important things on my mind than trying to still link Obama and Ayers. He’s the president, I’, going to disagree with his policy. Playing the guilt by association has never worked for any side of the political equation.
People want to know why we, Republicans, hate Obama. And I’ll tell you, this ain’t it for me. It’s policy policy POLICY. I don’t actually even believe most of the things people try to link him to, but I do believe he is heading us in the wrong direction. And that’s enough. Cut the National Enquierer stuff out of it.
