Tracing Obama's literary ascent is complicated by what Politico.com calls a "scant paper trail." That trail begins at Occidental College whose literary magazine published two of Obama's poems -- "Pop" and "Underground" -- in 1981. Obama calls it some "very bad poetry," and he does not sell himself short. From "Underground":


Under water grottos, caverns


Filled with apes


That eat figs.


Stepping on the figs


That the apes


Eat, they crunch.


The apes howl, bare


Their fangs, dance . . .
Are you kidding me? This poem from the same guy who wrote the memoirs?

Oh... If you didn't know Bill Ayers is an ENGLISH PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a complete and utter dipshit would think that the ability (or lack thereof) to write poetry should imply that a person would be unable to write prose.

Never mind that most creative people have at least one bit of undergraduate doggerel to hang their hats on.

To quote Thomas Brackett Reed: "They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."
