No Documents in Obama Library? No Mystery There.
By Jack Cashill
The
Fox News headline sums up the issue at hand: "No Obama documents in Obama
library? Historians puzzled by Chicago center plans."
The
article continues, "The Obama Foundation is taking an unconventional
approach to the presidential center and library being planned in Chicago. It's
opting to host a digital archive of President Barack Obama's records, but not
keep his hard-copy manuscripts and letters and other documents onsite."
The
Chicago Tribune broke
the story that, to this point, has attracted no major media attention.
Its headline raises much the same question Fox News did: "Without
archives on site, how will Obama Center benefit area students, scholars?"
The
Tribune tries to answer that question but succeeds only in pacifying Obama
fanboys. There is no good answer, but there is an answer, and it is this:
Obama is not a literary genius. In fact, Obama is not a particularly good
writer. His reputation would wither if researchers were allowed access to
original documents.
To
this day, Obama supporters in the media refuse to accept what is obvious to
anyone who has looked carefully at his literary track record. (Sorry, but
I have vowed never to use the word "oeuvre" except as a punch line).
Earlier
in 2017, when the question of Obama's gazillion-dollar presidential memoirs
first surfaced, the publishing community showed just how much its studied
ignorance affected its judgment.
"Mr.
Obama's writing ability could make his memoir not only profitable in its first
years but perhaps for decades to come," Gardiner Harris observed
matter-of-factly in a September 2016 piece in the New York Times. Harris
speculated, in fact, that Obama's newest effort would be a book for the ages,
not unlike the memoir of Ulysses S. Grant, which continues to sell.
The
most vulnerable documents in the Obama treasure chest are the early drafts of
his 1995 autobiography, Dreams
from My Father, a book that Joe Klein, then with Time, deemed "the best-written memoir ever
produced by an American politician."
On the
strength of Dreams, British
author Jonathan Raban designated Obama "the best writer to occupy the
White House since Lincoln."
This
is all nonsense. As I first documented at length in the American Thinker,
Obama had massive help with Dreams,
a book he publicly claimed to have written by his lonesome. The evidence
overwhelmingly points to Bill Ayers as the neighborhood muse.
I
could write a book about this. Come to think of it, I did. It's
calledDeconstructing Obama,
published by Simon & Schuster, the company that terminated Obama's first
contract on the book that would become Dreams.
In his
massive recent biography about Obama's pre-presidential years, Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama,
Pulitzer Prize-winner David Garrow chose to cut this literary baby in half.
Yes,
Obama had help with his 1995 masterpiece, Dreams
from My Father, a lot of help, but it did not come from Ayers. The
help, Garrow argues unconvincingly, came from a law school buddy and economist
named Rob Fisher.
Oddly,
although denying Ayers's involvement in the book, Garrow reveals just how
strong was the relationship between Ayers and Obama and how deep was the lie
that protected it.
Dreams, of course, is just one reason the original documents cannot
be shared. Obama did not write his book Audacity
of Hope in any meaningful sense of the word, either. Ayers, in
fact, dismissed Audacity as
a "political hack book," and he was right. The book seems to
have been written by committee.
Then
there are the speeches. Raban was admittedly "disconcerted" to
learn that Obama worked with twenty-something speechwriter Jon Favreau on his
2009 inaugural address. The Obama of Raban's imagination did not need
speechwriters, but, in fact, Obama had been relying on Favreau since the
convention of 2004.
Obama
has been relying on others all of his life. To protect the lie that has
sustained his literary reputation, he is willing to subvert the very function
of a presidential library.
Indeed,
the gleaming white Obama Presidential Center promises to be a $500-million
shrine to the ethereal emptiness of the Obama experience. It is a fitting
tribute.
FROM THE FIRST DAY OF HIS FIRST
TERM, BARACK OBAMA AND ERIC HOLDER HAD COMMENCED BUILDING A MUSLIM-STYLE
DICTATORSHIP FUNDED BY CRONY BANKSTERS AND MEXICO.
OPERATION OBOMB:
DESTABALIZE AMERICA TO LAY
GROUNDS FOR A MUSLIM-STYLE DICTATORSHIP

“Obama’s new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder has said that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the “resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a variety of groups organizing direct action against Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing .”
“The cost
of the Dream Act is far bigger than the Democrats or their media allies admit.
Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President
Barack Obama’s 2012 “DACA” amnesty, the Dream Act would legalize at least 3.3 million
illegals,
according to a pro-immigration group, the Migration Policy Institute.”
CHICAGO: THE FACE OF A NATION IN SHAMBLES
CHICAGO’S BLACK GANG LAND…. Is what happens when
bankster Rahm Emanuel and his corrupt Obama party turned the city under!
OBAMA’S CRONY BANKSTERISM destroyed a TRILLION DOLLARS
in home equity… and they’re still plundering us!
Barack Obama created
more debt for the middle class than any president in US
history, and also
had the only huge QE programs: $4.2 Trillion.
OXFAM reported that during Obama’s
terms, 95% of the wealth created went to
the top 1% of the world’s wealthy.
SOARING
POVERTY AND DRUG ADDICTION UNDER OBAMA
"These
figures present a scathing indictment of the social order that prevails in
America, the world’s wealthiest country, whose government proclaims itself to
be the globe’s leading democracy. They are just one manifestation of the human
toll taken by the vast and all-pervasive inequality and mass poverty.
AMERICA UNRAVELS:
Millions of children go hungry as the super- rich gorge themselves
and ILLEGALS SUCK IN BILLIONS IN WELFARE!

"The top 10 percent of Americans now own roughly
three-quarters of all household wealth."

THE OBAMA HISPANICAZATION of AMERICA
How the Democrat party
surrendered America to Mexico:
“The
watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama
administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices
Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington
Times
OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS to serve the
filthy rich
The same period has seen a massive growth of social inequality,
with income and wealth concentrated at the very top of American society to an
extent not seen since the 1920s.
“This study follows reports released over
the past several months documenting rising mortality rates among US workers due
to drug addiction and suicide, high rates of infant mortality, an overall
leveling off of life expectancy, and a growing gap between the life expectancy
of the bottom rung of income earners compared to those at the top.”

THE
OBAMA COUP: IT STARTED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
"We
know that Obama and his inner circle have set up a war room in his D.C.
home to
plan and execute resistance to the Trump administration and his
legislative
agenda.
None of these people care about the American people, or the fact that
Trump won
the election because millions of people voted for him."
