https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfIZDYm0a54. Is there a discussion of this somewhere in the article? Bill Ayers claims that he wrote Obama's book. Not sure what to think. 2601:280:4380:36C0:E4ED:F32A:9E14:3744 (talk) 02:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

:See the archives: 1 + 2. Ayers got tired of being pestered with silly questions and so responded in kind. He had nothing to do with the book, obviously. Johnuniq (talk) 02:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Here's another one from Ayers.

Almost all the quotes in the reception section seem to come from after Obama was running for president. Were there any contemporary reviews? john k (talk) 00:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

This section sounds like it is hinting he was born in Kenya:

The author never states in the book when or where he was born, but in chapter six he writes, quoting his mother speaking to him, "[t]hen you were born, and we agreed that the three of us would return to Kenya after he [Barack's father] finished his studies." - 125.237.50.81 (talk) 06:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
