Did Obama write his own books and is the story they tell true?

â€œI've written two books,â€ Barack Obama told a crowd of teachers in July of 2008. â€œI actually wrote them myself.â€ The teachers exploded in laughter. They got the joke: lesser politicians were not bright enough to do the same. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama supporters pointed to the first of those two books, the 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, as proof of Obamaâ€™s superior intellect. Time magazine called Dreams â€œthe best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.â€ The Obama campaign machine traded on the candidateâ€™s literary reputation, encouraging volunteers to â€œget out the vote and keep talking to others about the genius of Barack Obama.â€

There was just one small flaw, as writer and literary detective Jack Cashill discovered months before the November 2008 election: nothing in Obamaâ€™s history suggested he was capable of writing either Dreams or his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope. In fact, as Cashill continued his research, he came to the shocking conclusion that the real craftsman behind Dreams was terrorist emeritus Bill Ayers.

â€œThis was a charge,â€ David Remnick admits in his definitive Obama biography, The Bridge, â€œthat if ever proved true, or believed to be true among enough voters, could have been the end of the candidacy.â€

Deconstructing Obama tells the story of what happens when a citizen journalist discovers a game-changing reality that the media refuse to acknowledge. Despite their rejection, Cashill expanded his research into Obamaâ€™s literary canon. As he came to see, if Dreams serves as sacred text, the poem â€œPopâ€ is the Rosetta stone, the key to deciphering Obamaâ€™s shrouded past, his fragile psyche, and his uniquely cryptic political life. In unlocking that past, Cashill discovered that the story that Obama has been telling all his life varies from the true story in ways big and small. In fact, much of Obamaâ€™s life story appears to be a wholly constructed fabrication, one that Jack Cashill â€œdeconstructsâ€ to show the world just who Barack Obama really is.
