The above statement simply solidifies the dangers that naive and uninformed people cast upon society as a whole - and to think, they VOTE! I'm in favor of an IQ test, current events test and US history test being passed prior to letting the mouth-breathing dolts of the world cast a vote.

According to his school records from Indonesia when he was a child, for starters...
Ghost writers are far more common than most people would even begin to imagine. That being said.
After being buried, "V.C. Andrews" has published 39 books, each one hitting The New York Times' bestseller list.

Yes you can, as that claim was just made up by someone who hates Obama!

Who is Sorotero? I thought his name was Obama? Weird. I think you need to fact check before posting thread titles.
Didn't watch the video because...well if the title isn't even right, then how correct can the rest be?
What flavor of koolaide is that?

I have no problem believing the books were actually written by different people. The amount of ghost writers that work is amazing. V.C. Andews put out a lot of books for a dead person.Ghost writers are far more common than most people would even begin to imagine.

Why do birthers insist on destroying their own credibility?
You admit you never read the book yourself and this is the first time you ever heard Manning speak and even though he is obviously anti-Obama, you are just going to believe what he says is a true and objective analysis?
This is the logic that I see almost all birthers use and it only says one thing. You are not interested in what is true. You are only interested in hearing anything that supports your dislike for the man. I hope your post gets a lot of stars to show the rest for what you all are.
Any birthers that genuinely care about the truth should really show up at some point and make the movement seem like less of a joke.

Honestly! You Obama defenders all share one common trait, an uncanny ability to bury your head in the sand and avoid any form of current events - though I suspect that helps you cope with the knowledge that you support, and continue to support, a complete and absolute failure!
Um, Bill Ayers HIMSELF made the claim that he wrote "Dreams of my father" at Obama's... er, Soetoro's urging.

BTW, how's your search going for other autobiographies written by ghost writers..
That will be interesting.
I did not realize that I was supposed to be looking for any. Is your google broken? Again, stunning ignorance of common facts!

Until recently public awareness of ghostwriting centred on books 'written' by celebrities, in particular autobiographies by politicians, entertainers and business figures who are either too busy - or textually challenged - to provide a text of the requisite coherence and polish.
This one was too easy. Did you ask in that other thread?
Charles Brifaut supposedly ghosted the 1851 memoirs of Lola Montez. Balzac concocted memoirs for one of Napoleon's chamberlains, the Paris executioner and the Duchesse d'Abrantes (1835). Less notable scribes manufactured the Memoires of Louis-Constant Wairy, Napoleon's valet (1830) and Memoires of Joseph Fouche, Duke of Otranto (1818). Alexandre Dumas used up around 70 'assistantes' (such as Auguste Maquet, whose unhappiness about rewards for work on The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo resulted in an 1859 lawsuit), to manufacture first drafts that were then tweaked by the master and published in Dumas' name. HP Lovecraft ghosted for a range of competitors. Herman Klurfeld served as ghostwriter for columnist Walter Winchell over 29 years, often manufacturing four newspaper columns a week. Sociologist Robert Park assisted Booker T Washington in works such as My Larger Education, becoming "for all intents and purposes, for the time, a Negro, myself". Sanford Dody ghosted Bette Davis' 1962 The Lonely Life: an autobiography. Earl Conrad ghosted My Wicked, Wicked Ways, Errol Flynn's 1960 autobiography. More recently Dorothy Jane Mills appears to have been responsible for much of the output of sports historian Harold Seymour. Memoires of Joseph Fouche, Duke of Otranto
Geoffrey Hartman notes that employing a ghostwriter is an accepted status symbol in government and business. That was echoed by ghost Lucie Cave, responsible for Big Brother winner Jade Goody's 2006 My Autobiography.
Here is a fun one Sarah Palin’s ghostwriter raises questions
Was this ghost writer thing even in question? Seriously? By you?
The autobiography "Ronald Reagan: An American Life" was ghosted by Robert Lindsey.

“Learning to Sing”, the autobiography of American Idol star Clay Aiken, was written with ghostwriter Allison Glock
The autobiographies of Doris Day and Sophie Loren were written by A.E. Hotchner.
I can do this all day so I hope you get lots of stars for even suggesting this is something that does not happen. You are my favorite poster on ATS by far. Too much fun!

Did Obama say his book was ghost written..
Yeah, you're fun too Sinnthia..
It will be a shame if Obama is outed and we don't see you again..

Split hairs all you want Sinnthia. Obfuscate, spin, feign indignance... WHATEVER! Doesn't change the fact that the man went by that name, period!
You can attempt to use qualifiers like "LegallY" and any other nonsense you can drum up, but the facts remain the same.
And the most important fact to pay attention to is that Obama is the greatest failure as president that this country has ever seen! OH, and let's not forget the most duplicitous, the greatest liar...

Hahahaha. Where do I ever say that I am a birther, or that I dislike Obama?
and in the process he did raise some pretty astute inconsistencies.
Does watching a video and recognizing someone being hilarious qualify as being a birther now? Yikes. Not writing your own biography is a little like getting a BJ in the oval office, I could give two sh*ts about trivial matters like this. I just thought the dude was hilarious, and in the process he did raise some pretty astute inconsistencies.
