Writing about his schooldays, Obama created a friend called Regina, a symbol of the authentic black American experience that Obama yearns for.
Maraniss found, however, that Regina was based on Caroline Boss, a white student leader at Occidental College. Regina was the name of Boss’s Swiss grandmother.
The book also notes that Obama removed two white roommates in Los Angeles and New York from his story. Obama himself told Maraniss in a 90-minute interview that a racial incident involving a New York girlfriend had in fact happened in Chicago.
A tale of the father of Obama’s Indonesian stepfather Soewarno Martodihardjo being killed by Dutch soldiers as he fought for Indonesian independence turns out to be ‘a concocted myth in almost all respects’, Maraniss finds.
According to the book, both Obama’s father and his paternal grandfather were abusive towards women and Maraniss finds that Obama’s story that he was abandoned by his father when he was two was false – in fact, Obama’s mother fled to Washington state a year earlier, possibly because she was being beaten.

This is an excerpt from "O"'s book.
It seems the more you find out about him, the more it seems he's just what his followers are calling Mr.Romney.
I'm sure his troupe will call this lies to uphold the image, but it's definately not looking good.

This right wing writer offered NOT ONE scintilla of proof that what President Obama wrote was Not True!
THE AUTHOR himself finds this and finds that but found NO Truth in what he surmises in his whole work of fiction disputing what President Obama wrote.

You've got some wires crossed.. Read the article, but this time with your eye's open.
Is it for "O"'s book. writer/author.

I think it would be advisable to purchase this book before BHO issues an Executive Order banning the book. . . We know that the so-called "Constitutional Scholar" does not believe he is constrained by any inconvenient laws, so why should that annoying First Amendment be of any concern?

Nice to know his non-fiction books are all phony-ass lies and bullsh*t just like his whole life and term in office.

rdgnr if you wrote a book on your life story,it would only be used for kindling to start a fire.

I am sure Ronald wasn't having an affair with nancy while marry as which was a precusor for years to come for the Republicans Party. Newt. Rudy ,Stafford and Ensison their wife beater as well ,look at Willard they have so many wives they don't have time to get into with so many"sister wives".

The story about Saint Ronnie of Reagan in his Hollywood days when he wasn't date raping wannabe stars was when he headed AS A DEMOCRAT the Screen Actors Guild Union while married to Jane Wyman he was playing tough in negotiations with studio boss Sam Mayer of MGM when Sam decided to send little known wannabe actress willing to do ANYTHING for any studio head for a part Nancy Davis over to see Ronnie and convince him any way she could to change his hard line stance in favor of MGM.
It worked,Ronnie gave in,Jane divorced Ronnie and Nancy became Saint Ronnies 2nd wife and then became a family values conservative Republican Icon who is NOW Americas 2nd worse President behind ONLY George W. Bush.

By some of your comments bobbiea, it sounds as though you been date-raped by your party many times. How many times would you sayeth??????

bobbiea,
If you ever had enough common sense, which the "good Lord" gave a JackA$$, get it?
you'd still walk backwards with your head shaved so you could see what's coming.
