#1 Dunno. Ask him who invented the internet.

#2 That was suggested last year, on basis of stylistic analysis.

#3 How can it be that a man so renowned for his mastery of language is utterly tongue-tied without his trusty TelePrompter?

His political speeches, examined closely, pile on fibs, fairytales and fatuousness. "A united world defeated communism." "No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation." "I can no more disown Rev Wright than I can disown my own grandmother"-- who, lemme tell ya, is a nasty old racist b*tch.

I have no idea how intelligent or graceful a writer is Bill Ayers, but I've known since his absurd "awesome God" speech of 2004 that this man is an absurd little charlatan. Nice to see that millions of others are figuring it out as well.

Obama = America's Gorbachev, a bumbling fool way out of his depth, leading his country down from superpower to second-tier status, cheered at every step by his nation's enemies who neither respect nor fear him.

#4 Obama = America's Gorbachev

Gorbochev was far more courageous and well-intentioned; don't insult him that way.

#5 Did anyone catch Barak Insein Obama at the National Counter Terrorism Center on SPAN yesterday? Virtually no extemporaneousness...rather reading from notes. He looked like Mao in a class taught by Adam Smith.

#7 Eh, it might have been sarcastic. He can't have not noticed Cashill's claim last year, I don't think. What else does Bill Ayers have to do with his time but google himself?

#8 Google himself? That sounds nasty. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this self-styled terrorist authored Obama's book.

#9 Shouldn't be hard to tell for an expert. There are plenty of Bill's words out there to compare with the style in Obama's bio.

#10 The book "Dreams...father" was written in about Obama's life before his entry into Harvard. It is chock full of detailed bio stuff. Anecdotes about things that happened to him in elementary school, etc. These could not have been done by anyone unless Obama made them audiotapes to use as background. There are also some political musings which could have been written by any leftist of the era.
