Great find! Has this been revealed before this, and how could it be ignored if it was?

That sentence about his first book, Journeys in Black and White, was one he was
contracted to write and was given a big advance. He never wrote it and pleaded
poverty to the original publication house to get out of repaying the advance. He
had made a lot of notes for it, but never could write it; so when he was awarded
another contract from another publisher, it is from reliable sources that he got
Bill Ayers to write it for him, because he didn't have the skill.

Correct Breitbart.com’s Joel Pollak published this in the site’s ominous-sounding “The Vetting” series, which consisted of a short Barack Obama bio from a super-obscure trade pamphlet that erroneously said he was born in Kenya. While swearing to God this didn’t make them Birthers, Breitbart.com insisted that now-President Obama (stings, doesn’t it?) was behind the error, in a classic example of media manipulation. Then, the editor of that pamphlet completely destroyed their already-ridiculous theory. This was never in the Harvard Law Review.

I can see Obama sitting in Gitmo saying to himself, "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid - I knew I should have fulfilled my promise and closed this place.".

I do not care where he was born, the fact is he was born with divided allegiance and there does not meet the requirments for office.

I heard His first book was the rallying cry of the birther movement, this Year book page flap looks real cool right down to the funky 80's type set... I guess I should just assume that Gary Johnson will not be running against the Joe Biden/Nancy Pelosi ticket in November.

Sorry SunShine, I actually love to think about where the thick green foliage and fauna turn the land into a wet, sultry, sticky, hot, green gumdrop Ohio morning, the kind covered with that thick wet sugary river valley mist just before sunrise... Not all the shovel ready projects waiting in offices all across the USA waiting for help, a hot wash cloth, and someone else's hand.... yuk, I am sorry SunShine.

2 seconds of googling. Not hard.

Here is the original article (this wasn't even news when it was first shown... several months ago).

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-...

Not the Harvard Yearbook. Rather, a promotional booklet put out by a publishing company to sell more of their books. They created blurbs of their "up-and-comers", new authors, etc...

Obama did not write it, it was not the yearbook.

Anything else?

Snopes claims it as TRUE. If you do not own a critical thinking cap, then yes, you must be very careful about what page you click on. It may make you believe all sorts of nonsense.

The rest of us, however, do not have to shy away from resources due to the name at the top of the page. We know how to read, corroborate, consider the sources, etc... only takes a moment, but I understand some just would rather not. Meh.

Lastly, the original, right-wing, breitbart article itself proves this original post was a lie. Try again?

I'm glad that there are so many brilliant people like you... If snopes has marked this as true then it's a rare truth from them.

OH my... you haven't even clicked on the link yet, have you.... *sigh*

It is TRUE that this was a blurb from a publishing company's marketing piece from 1991, and that Obama had nothing to do with the contents of the "blurb".

This is something absolutely NO one disputes. Not even right wing extremists. This new claim of it being from the Harvard Yearbook is hilariously dumb, aside from being blatantly dishonest.
