Bill Ayres ghostwrote Obama's book

There's a bombshell out that you probably won't hear or read of in the mass media.

Weatherman Bill Ayres, a University of Chicago English professor, and unrepentant terrorist from the 1970s, ghostwrote "Dreams From My Father", Obama's first book, that drew in over $2 million in earnings to him and has been called the best written political autobiography in history.

Jack Cashell, is a syndicated columnist, PhD and author of the book "Hoodwinked", a tomb on how to detect fraud in writing. He has run Ayres' book "Fugitive Days" and Obama's "Dreams From My Father" through three different computer programs that gage reading difficulty, syntax and sentence construction.

He ran them after he read both books, and found them to be remarkably similar in imagery and literary style. It immediately struck him what a talented writer Ayres is, and how poorly Obama had written in the Harvard Law Review and in an Occidental College poetry magazine.

Obama's book is full of marine imagery, just like Ayres' book. There is no comparison in style between Obama's previous writing and that in "Dreams". Obama returned a $135,000 advance from Simon and Shuster, because he had writer's block and couldn't produce anything. That he would be suddenly turned into a literary genius who would be capable of producing the best selling "Dreams" defies rationality.

Obama's friendship with his neighbor Bill Ayres, holding his maiden political coming out party at Ayres' home, serving together with him on two non-profit boards and as a fellow faculty member at the University of Chicago. In addition to the literary similarity of their books, they had a close enough relationship for talented writer Ayres to ghostwrite the book.

Cashell is still analyzing Obama's second book, "The Audacity of Hope," a title cribbed from a sermon by Obama's 20-year pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

If this research draws more corroborative evidence from Obama, Ayres or a knowledgeable third party, it would be a bombshell. Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden's first presidential campaign was shot out of the water by a proven plagarism in his main campaign speech, cribbing it from British pol Neil Kinnick.

Obama is already in trouble for consorting with the radical Ayres, Rev. Wright, shadowy Syrian financier Tony Rezko and prominent Muslims like Louis Farakhan and Moamar Khadafi. He has claimed that Ayres is a distant acquaintance, at best. This might shoot that duck out of the water.

You mean "tome", not "tomb".
