"The problem... with the president’s autobiography is not what is actually false, but whether anything much at all is really true in it"

Victor Davis Hanson puts into words what the rest of us (with half a brain) are thinking about this President:

The Obama memoir is revealed not really to be a memoir at all. Most of his intimate friends and past dalliances that we read about in Dreams From My Father were, we learn, just made up (“composites”); the problem, we also discover, with the president’s autobiography is not what is actually false, but whether anything much at all is really true in it. If a writer will fabricate the details about his own mother’s terminal illness and quest for insurance, then he will probably fudge on anything. For months the president fought the Birthers who insist that he was born in Kenya, only to have it revealed that he himself for over a decade wrote just that fact in his own literary biography. Is Barack Obama then a birther?

There is much more, all of it quotable, all of it pass along worthy.

So do your part.
