If you are referring to me, give me the facts and if persuaded I would retract. I have retracted before when I had misread something, a very rare thing for a libtard to understand, I know, but there it is.
Meanwhile, given the inability that you and other libtards have with presenting any facts, methinks the odds very low in that regard.
Dude.
I asked you when the two of them met. Had you answered that accurately (1995), I would have asked you when the book was published. The answer is 1995.
Do you see how the entire premise of your dopey thread is without possible merit?
Bill Ayers has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the writing of the book.
Now...retract and humble yourself.
Not so fast. First listen to the testimony of this postman who retired after 39 years of service as a postman for the United States Post Office. He met Obama when he was a young man - he was introduced at that time by Mary Ayers ( Bill's mother)as a foreign exchange student who her and her husband were putting through school. Where did the postman meet Obama? In the front yard of Bill and Mary Ayers home.
This had to have been prior to 1995 as you'll see in the article. Furthermore, before dismissing the postmans claim as false - what would be his motive in fabricating such a story? I cannot see one. Can you? What would be Bill Ayer's motive in claiming he was the ghost writer for Obama's book? You see, you must have motive and so far you have not presented one. Therefore it is reasonable to believe both Bill Ayers and the postman have been honest in their statements about Obama.
Have a look at the article and I will also post a clip of it for you to read. I would read the entire story because it is my experience that one must examine all the facts before condemning them as false. Otherwise you are sure to remain in eternal ignorance over the matter. When I read the story I found the man to have a very honorable career, no history of insanity, delusions of grandeur... nothing but an honest postman delivering the news of how Bill and Mary Ayers helped Barack Obama. He also says that when Obama he introduced himself to him and he told him he was going to be the president of the United States. Read this:
Postman: Ayers family put ?foreigner? Obama through school
About a year after discussing with Mary Ayers the foreign student she and her husband were supporting, Hulton recalls meeting a young black male on the sidewalk in front of the Ayers home.
Hulton describes the man as being in his early 20s, noting that he was tall, thin, had a light complexion and that his ears stuck out.
“He greeted me,” Hulton says. “He was very polite, dressed nicely, but informally – slacks and a dress shirt – and he spoke with no accent. Immediately this young black man entered into conversation with me. He told me he had taken the train out from Chicago and had come to thank the Ayers family personally for having helped him with his education.”
Hulton remembers asking the young man what his plans were for the future.
“He looked right at me and told me he was going to be president of the United States,” Hulton says.
“There was a little bit of a grin on his face when he said it – he sounded sure of himself, but not arrogant. I know how people will say things because they have an ambition, but it did not come across that way,” Hulton says. “It came across as if this young black male was telling me he was going to be president, almost as if it were the statement of a scientific fact that had already been determined, as if his being president had been already pre-arranged.”
Hulton says the claim made him speechless.
“I kind of stuttered a response and said that nowadays anything is possible. I wished him good luck with his ambition,” he says.
Immediately, Hulton associated the young black man with the foreign student Mary Ayers had mentioned to him so enthusiastically about a year earlier.

This pushes the time line of the Ayers family having known Barack Obama back to the 1980's continuing a relationship into the 90's and up to 2000 when Mrs. Ayers died. My question would be how close was Bill Ayers to his parents? Is it possible he ever went to his parents home to visit them prior to their deaths? I think it is a safe assumption that he did and that he also had met Barack Obama on numerous occasions because if Mary Ayers was willing to tell the postman about this foreign exchange student they were helping by providing the financial backing - Barack Obama - she was willing to introduce her own son to him as well. Wouldn't you say so? On that note, I believe all of you owe Jim Bowie a sincere apology. My 2 cents.

Note* It has been my experience that when someone is telling the truth they provide many details. Just as this postman has done here. Again, what would be his motive for making up such a story? What would be Bill Ayers motive in making up such a story? I do not see a motive. You have to have a motive. Ask any lawyer. I believe that the Postman and Mr. Bill Ayers are both telling the truth. Truth always prevails. It has the amazing ability to survive all the lies that try to cover it up. This has been prove time and time again. Long live the Truth. Amen.
