Obama's friend who was the ghostwriter for his autobiography 'Dreams Of My Father' has turned on Obama in a interview with 'RealClearPolitics'. The domestic terrorist who launched Obama's political career out of his house isn't happy at Obama's policy on using drone attacks. He claims Obama is committing acts of terror. Listen to what Ayers has to say:
Freedom, introspection, irony—is it any wonder, then, that “Dreams from My Father” is the latest Obama project to be targeted by the right wing? Since the Presidential campaign, rumor has circulated among certain constituencies that Bill Ayers was the real author of “Dreams,” but recent comments (read: jokes) made by Ayers have fueled the fire. According to Washington Monthly, National Journal discussed the matter with Ayers at a recent book fair:
When [Ayers] finished speaking, we put the authorship question [on “Dreams from My Father”] right to him. For a split second, Ayers was nonplussed. Then an Abbie Hoffmanish, steal-this-book-sort-of-smile lit up his face. He gently took National Journal by the arm. “Here’s what I’m going to say. This is my quote. Be sure to write it down: ‘Yes, I wrote “Dreams from My Father.” I ghostwrote the whole thing. I met with the president three or four times, and then I wrote the entire book.’” He released National Journal’s arm, and beamed in Marxist triumph. “And now I would like the royalties.” Bill Ayers, Ghostwriting Mastermind? : The New Yorker
It was clearly a joke. The right wingers, who don't know from jokes, took it as gospel.

Ok, now that you've shown us something completely irrelevant, would you care to actually opine on the topic at hand? Or is that too much hard work to ask of a non-American who thinks he's got us conservatives all figured out?

He is opining on the topic at hand. Bill Ayres as claimed in the TITLE of this thread was never the ghost writer on Obama's book.
and the rest is just nonsense relating from an erroneous claim.
also, who GIVE a rat patootie about what Ayer's claims?

Author Jack Cashill deciphered Ayers writing style and text in 'Dreams of my Father'.
You mean the same Jack Cashill that brags on his blog about getting fake awards from fake law schools? That Jack Cashill?
