Bill Ayers as primary author?

[edit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfIZDYm0a54. Is there a discussion of this somewhere in the article? Bill Ayers claims that he wrote Obama's book. Not sure what to think. 2601:280:4380:36C0:E4ED:F32A:9E14:3744 (talk) 02:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See the archives: 1 + 2. Ayers got tired of being pestered with silly questions and so responded in kind. He had nothing to do with the book, obviously. Johnuniq (talk) 02:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another one from Ayers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2WC-Ckl2IQ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.2.27.171 (talk) 22:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reception at the time

[edit]

Almost all the quotes in the reception section seem to come from after Obama was running for president. Were there any contemporary reviews? john k (talk) 00:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Birther language

[edit]

This section sounds like it is hinting he was born in Kenya:

The author never states in the book when or where he was born, but in chapter six he writes, quoting his mother speaking to him, "[t]hen you were born, and we agreed that the three of us would return to Kenya after he [Barack's father] finished his studies." - 125.237.50.81 (talk) 06:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
