Jack Cashill is deconstructing Obama

Local writer and prolific author and documentarian, Jack Cashill, is about to release his latest book, "Deconstructing Obama: the Lifes, Loves, and Letters of America's first postmodern President." It goes on sale in February.

Thomas Lifson, publisher of the American Thinker, had this to say about the book,

Deconstructing Obama is an important book, one that unravels significant parts of the fabric of Barack Obama's contrived and closely guarded personal history. Candidate Obama's stature rested to an extraordinary degree on his first autobiography, Dreams from my Father. Cashill convincingly demonstrates that the claimed authorship of Dreams is a fraud, the most politically significant literary fraud in history. I was able to follow the story Cashill presents from the beginning, and watched as the media did everything in their power to discredit and relegate Cashill's first-rate detective work to obscurity and opprobrium. The literary and biographical sleight-of-hand committed by the president and abetted by his media allies will not stand the scrutiny of history.

Jack Cashill is the one writer who truly scrutinized the murky story of Barack Obama while the mainstream media cooed in rapture of this "historical" figure who published his autobiography before he was even a viable political candidate.

Joe Klein of Time magazine said of Dreams from My Father: a Story of Race and Inheritance, [it] "may be the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." And Michiko Kakutani of the New York TImes described Obama's book as, "the most evocative, lyrical and candid autobiography written by a future president."

Jack Cashill on the other hand thought, wait a minute, let's take a closer look at this guy whose words look like something seen before, say from 60s radical and Obama associate, William Ayers. He then set out to prove his theory that Ayers, not Obama, wrote Obama's much acclaimed books about himself.

And prove it he did, but the media did not want to acknowledge it, even when presidential biographer and bestselling writer, Christopher Anderson, published his unauthorized biography Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage, confirming some of the details of Ayers' involvement in writing the Obama books.

Now that Obama's popularity and political capital is plunging, maybe it will be the right timing for Jack Cashill's investigative work into the myth of this Story of O (one just as seductive as the famed erotica and just as obscene) to draw the acclaim it deserves.
