I am told that many politicians use ghost writers. Obama's latest book is very well written. If he is the one writing, then he could do well in that profession.

Assuming that Obama did hire a ghostwriter, it is common practice NOT to give the ghostwriter credit anywhere. That is often part of the contract. The ghostwriter cannot tell anyone publicly that he/she was the actual writer. So IF Obama did hire a ghostwriter and it does not reflect that anywhere in the book, we may never know who it was.

There has been no mention of the usage of a ghost writer for either book
"The Democratic senator from Illinois and likely presidential candidate offered the confession in a memoir written 11 years ago, not long after he graduated from law school and well before he contemplated life on the national stage. At the time, 20,000 copies were printed and the book seemed destined for the remainders stacks." This was "Dreams from My Father"
The same thing was said about "The Audacity of Hope"

He wrote both books without the assistance of a co-writer.

Baracka Hussein Obama is a very deceptive personality, and has lied to the voters and citizens on several occasions. He lied about being a "constitutional law professor" at the Univ. of Chicago, when research reveals he was a lecturer, now on leave! Also, it is highly questionable if he wrote the two books, as the language and profile are highly suggestive of ghost writers! Also, his academic grades are never mentioned. Did he obtain his credentials in the same manner as Michael King (AKA Martin Luther King), via plagiarism. Remember King's first sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, was in fact taken from a homily of sermons by a minister from England. Obama has not been truthful regarding his Muslim affiliation, as he had two fathers who insisted on Obama being trained as Islamic Muslim.

Barack Obama is not capable of writing books deemed authored by him and his ghost writer could be on this Yahoo Answers forum searching for ideas.
