Just Words?

Zombie digs out the paper archive of the Chicago Tribune, and this is the picture he took. It's Barack Obama's review of Bill Ayers' book on Juvenile Justice--a radical book written to gut responsible reforms of a juvenile justice system struggling with the advent of youthful super-predators. Obama was right on board with radical Ayers, despite his attempts to obfuscate his position and relationship now. My earlier related posts here, here and here.

Is it all, once again, just words? Should we believe a word Barack Obama says? Look at this in light of new questions about Obama's own book:

Patrick was the source of Obama's allegedly lifted words, and he laughed off the accusation of plagiarism, calling it "elaborate" and "extravagant."

"I think it's a sad comment on the state of the race and the state of our politics that the Clinton campaign is taking this particular tack," he told Diane Sawyer.

The Democratic governor also said it was not necessary for Obama to credit Patrick for drawing from his words.

"It's not like he's writing a law review article or a book or something like that," he argued. "He should have credited me with the use of two words, meaning those words, 'just words.'"

No law review articles (well just one before he became president--somehow he didn't want us to know about that), but yes we can, a book. Or not? Rashid Khalidi of all people, reveals his best friend Bill Ayers made his dining room table open to the neighborhood's struggling writers. Is Barack Obama a false hope to America? Did he write the words in the Audacity of Hope? Is Barack Obama the big lie? Who is the real Barack Obama? Jack Cashill, again, The American Thinker, on the question of authorship:

Even if someone benign had ghostwritten the book it would present a problem for Obama.

The question is often asked why Obama associated with Ayers. The more appropriate question is why the powerful Ayers would associate with the then obscure Obama. Before Obama's ascendancy, it was Ayers who had the connections, the clout, and the street cred. Ayers could also write and write very well. By the mid-1990s he had had several of his books published. What Ayers could never do, however, was run for office on his own.

Barack Obama recently revealed himself as a stealth socialist. Are more revelations in store? Don't the American people deserve some answers before the election?

P.S. And what do you know about ACORN voter registration fraud and when did you know it?
