I had to wonder, after reading Dreams From My Father and then Audacity of Hope (yes, I actually read both) how the former could possibly have been written by the guy who wrote the latter.
Dreams is poetic, pretentious but poetic. Audacity is junk, no more than political hack work. Generalities from someone who has no intention of bringing them to life.
Well, guess what?, Dreams wasn’t written by the same guy. It was written by his former Weather Underground pal and (what else) University of Chicago academic. A Leftist professor of education, no less.
“In promoting his new book, ‘Public Enemy,’ [Bill] Ayers’ publisher, Beacon Press, has written a blurb on Amazon.com that says Ayers “finally ‘confesses’ that he did write ‘Dreams From My Father.'”
No surprise there and no surprise that Mr. “If you like your insurance you can keep it” has always falsely claimed authorship of the book. Our Democrat president is becoming the world’s most prominent fraud. Even his former buds are bailing on him—except for Looney Tunes MSNBC, of course.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Yeah. Sad case, really.
Sad for us. What do we do with a president like this for three more years? If he was white, he’d be impeached, though maybe not ousted (impeachment and ousting are separate) but that option isn’t likely in our hyper-racial society.
‘Leftist’? I remember a conversation I had some years ago with an acquaintance from that end of the political spectrum. “Leftist? I’m not a Leftist. I’m a Radical!”
Ayers has taunted the public for years about the authorship, claiming in his own cynical, inherited-wealth, in-your-face way that no one could ever prove that he wrote the book, in a way that all but confirmed that he wrote it.
And yes, there are still many in the press that will likely go down with the ship, including Chris Matthews still simpering about the “amazing economy” as he slips below the waves.
There was a guy, at some webzine I forget the name of, possibly the Weekly Standard, who years ago compared the wording of Dreams to one of Ayers older books and concluded he was the author of Dreams. I remember Ayers mocked the analysis. I wonder why he’s owning up now. Wormtongue must have shat on him, too, as he has so many others.
It’s been said that Matthews’s only audience are conservative bloggers. Nobody else gives him the time of day, or night for that matter. That’s why Limbaugh always advises ignoring him.
