we know more about the first few years of George Washington‘s life than we do about Barack Obama‘s

Now on bookshelves: “Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves and Letters of America’s First Postmodern President” by Jack Cashill, published by Simon & Shuster. The new book uncovers “major discrepancies in the accepted narrative” of President Obama‘s life, particularly his earliest years. Mr. Cashill says the news media is indifferent to such information. He’s also convinced that former University of Illinois professor Bill Ayers — who co-founded the radical Weather Underground in 1969 — helped craft “Dreams From My Father,” the president’s much-acclaimed memoir.

“When I started this inquiry, I was less interested in President Obama‘s birth certificate than I was in his SAT scores. As I got in deeper, I could see that we know more about the first few years of George Washington‘s life than we do about Barack Obama‘s,” Mr. Cashill tells Inside the Beltway. “This was the most comprehensive media failure in American history.”
