Here, in \u003ci\u003eDeconstructing Obama\u003c\/i\u003e, political scholar and author Jack Cashill analyzes and pieces together Obama's statements about his life to get at the truth behind the man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCashill's \"eureka\" moment came when he realized that the structure of \u003ci\u003eDreams of My Father \u003c\/i\u003eloosely mirrors that of Homer's Odyssey. From the moment of that revelation, Cashill researched, read, and examined interviews, writings, and statements about the President's life story, focusing especially on a poem written when Obama was nineteen. According to the facts, in conjunction with Obama's statements and writings, Cashill's conclusion is that the stories don't add up--and for the nearly 2 million people who read and accepted the story about Obama's life--the truth is that it may be more myth than history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn independent writer and producer, Jack Cashill has written a dozen nonfiction books and appeared on C-SPAN's \u003ci\u003eBook TV\u003c\/i\u003e ten times.
