The founder of Times Books -- publisher of President Barack Obama's autobiography Dreams From My Father -- Thomas Lipscomb recently dropped a huge bomb on the Obama White House. Now a senior fellow at the well-regarded Annenberg Center, Lipscomb contends that Obama's story was actually ghostwritten by former terrorist and cop-killer William Ayers.
During the presidential campaign if asked how close he was with the former bomb-maker for Weathermen, Obama would claim that Bill Ayers was merely "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis."
But according to Lipscomb's Accuracy in Media report: "Obama had to give up on a $150,000 Simon & Schuster contract because he couldn't complete the manuscript, his sources were telling him Obama finally had to bring in a ghostwriter to put together his highly praised Dreams From My Father for Times Books. He had a million pieces of tape, pictures, memos, notes, and no manuscript."
Unfortunately for Obama, he was caught at a July 10, 2008, meeting in Fairfax, Virginia proudly saying the following: "I've written two books. I actually wrote them myself."
While bloggers have posted stories alleging Obama's book is a ghostwritten product, a noted journalist and best selling author of 33 books Christopher Andersen published a fascinating new book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage, a fawning diatribe about America's First Family, that alleges matter-of-factly that not only is Obama's book ghostwritten, but it was ghostwritten by the former terrorist Bill Ayers.
Andersen states in his book: "Everyone knew [Obama and Ayers] were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both."
"In the end, Ayers' 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' own writing," according to Andersen's book.
The Accuracy in Media report and Anderson contend that these oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.
"Even the caveat at the beginning of Dreams, in which Barack points out that he uses invented dialogue, embellished facts, composite characters, inaccurate chronology, and pseudonyms to create an "approximation" of reality, resembles Ayers' defense of the inaccuracies in his own memoir Fugitive Days," wrote Lipscomb.
"In the foreword to his book, Ayers states that the book is merely a collection of his personal memories and "impressions." ... Thanks to help from the veteran writer Ayers, Barack would be able to submit a manuscript to his editors at Times Books," claims the AIM report.

Sounds like BS to me. So the "evidence" Ayers wrote Obama's book is that some of the things are phrased similar to what Ayers had written elsewhere. Um that's not evidence. It's not even circumstantial evidence.
Evidence should be something you can prove exists rather than some intangible suspicion by something who probably didn't vote for Obama. Accuracy in Media is an extremely right-wing group and is in no way seeking anything approaching accuracy.
it had to be ayers, angela davis, or hugo chavez; teleprompters don't write books.
This has been around for 2 years. I could never find either confirmation OR denial.
It is admitted in new book! We have an admitted plagiarist as puppet-ident. Oh well, he's probably no worse than any other communist....
Matthew Bracken has his number...all their numbers. Read his books.
Look up and read the Jack Cashill articles on the topic. He has done in-depth analysis, and the evidence is extremely compelling. His work convinced me long ago that Ayers wrote "Dreams From My Father."
<strong> Bill Ayers is a Communist and has ties to 8 people in the White House. See proof here:

Uh huh; your misguided idea of what "evidence" compels me to correct you.
"Witness" evidence, "Direct" evidence, "Heresay" evidence, and "Cirumstancial" evidence are all LEGAL types of evidence.
You rarely prove someone committed murder by an video and an actual smoking gun but by the surrounding evidence that taken together can lead to no other conclusion but guilt.
And before you grasp at straws and say innocent people get wrongly convicted, that is the exception to the rule not the normality. And when the wronged are exonerated, it is by using the same evidence methods that were used to convict.
That Ayers may have wrote the book isn't "BS"; it's fear that you would then have to consider many other things about your messiah to not be true and it's easier to adicate thinking to the Obamanites than do it on your own and admit you were wrong. Check your ego and engage the brain.
No one is going to take care of you, they are going to use you to take care of themselves
I heard it was Bin Laden wrote them books. What gives?
