This American Thinker article by Jack Cashill is fascinating. While I've read about the accusations that President Barack Obama wasn't the actual author of "Dreams from My Father" (which always struck me as an odd title given his father left him) or that it was at least co-written by Bill Ayers, it never seemed all that worth exploring. But it's not that beginning portion of this article that I found fascinating. It was the description of his life as an academic. The guy sounds like me possibly with lower LSAT scores (I actually made the 93rd percentile if I remember right) and an inferior writer (yes, I'm no Shakespeare, but I generally get my verb tenses to agree throughout my writing).
What this article does to me, is reinforce the image I had of the President when I saw him speaking at the 2004 Democratic convention. I saw a man who had been bred to stand there, shoved in front of the crowd to look like all polish, but there was nothing underneath but rotten, hollow wood.
