Ein amerikanischer Traum
Cashill, in the book "Deconstructing Obama" (2011), promoted the theory that Bill Ayers, co-founder of the militant radical left-wing organization Weather Underground, had authored Obama's autobiography "Dreams from My Father." A review by Craig Fehrman in "The Washington Post" argued "Cashill’s clues are far from convincing" on the supposed involvement of Ayers. The book itself was described by Fehrman as being "grotesque, delusional and paranoid". Eric McHenry, writing for "Salon" accused Cashill of believing "Obama’s entire life is one massive fraud" and exclusively applying this notion to Obama's writings; Cashill had claimed at least one of Obama's few poems were really the work of Frank Marshall Davis.
