Great, prove Obama said it...
It's in his bio and was there for 17 years
Duh
Where did the newspaper get their information? Probably Obama too
Great, thanks for proving what I already knew… You can’t prove Obama said.
It's Obama's Bio. Of course he wrote it
Or Bill Ayers wrote it for him.
Funny you should mention that, as there is a lot of evidence that Ayers wrote Obama's book.
I found this convincing:
Chris Yavelow’s “’FictionFixer’ (
www.fictionfixer.com), compares any prose its given to any or all of the 210 best-selling novels Yavelow says he has scanned into his Mac G4. The software then looks for patterns—certain words, usages, sentence structure, number of mentions of a character’s name, and the like—and compares it to the target book(s).”

a. As Yavelow explains, authors don’t go from a 3.8 percent use of the passive voice in 1995 to an 8.3 percent use in 2006.
b. Yavelow cites a score of other characteristics that change too conspicuously from one Obama book to the next, among them the Flesch Reading Ease score, the use of gender words, sentence starters, adverbs, discouraged words, sensory triggers, and more.
c. When, however, Yavelow compared Obama’s
Dreams with Bill Ayers’ memoir,
Fugitive Days, he found the similarity of the two books “striking.” For instance,
Dreams averages 17.61 words and 26.48 syllables for non-dialogue sentences.
Fugitive Days averages 17.62 words and 26.27 syllables.
d. Another team, from a university: ““Using the chi-square statistic,” they add, “Obama's and Ayers's books were indistinguishable while Obama's book was easily distinguishable from books by other authors.”
