Robert F Kennedy (RFK) was the brother of Senator Ted Kennedy and President John F Kennedy. He was a mainstream liberal who ran for president in 1968 and was assassinated by a Jordanian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan.
William Ayres, an extremist, a former domestic terrorist, and founder of the Weather Underground, dedicated his book “Prairie Fire” to RFK's murderer, Sirhan Sirhan. Ayres also helped to launch the political career of Barack Obama by hosting a fund-raiser for him in the Ayres home.
What does Ayres like so much about Barack Obama? Clearly, Ayres did not see Obama as a mainstream liberal in the mold of Bobby Kennedy. What does Ayres know about Obama that the mainstream media is not telling you and does not want you to know?
Aside from his political extremism, Barack Obama is extraordinary only in his ordinariness. In his half century of life, he never ran a business, or served in the military or excelled at anything with the possible exception of writing. Obama was offered a book deal in 1990 with a six figure advance, for no other reason than that he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He had to give back the money when he failed to produce a book on time. Obama's first book, "Dream's of My Father", was published in 1995. He describes it as a "internal journey". That's a good thing because, his real life is remarkably uneventful.
Obama acknowledges no ghost writer(s) for any of his books. However, many believe that "Dreams of My Father" was actually written by William Ayres. Unlike Obama, Ayres had a very eventful life. He spent years on the run from the law after bombing the Pentagon. This is chronicled in "Fugitive Days". Before that Ayres dropped out of college to join the Merchant Marines. His books often contain maritime metaphors and imagery. This and other similarities have led to speculation that Ayres is the true author of "Dreams of My Father".
