About Obama's 'missing girlfriends'
WND ^ | August 19, 2011 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 08/19/2011 1:07:53 PM PDT by RobinMasters

As WND reported, radio host Rush Limbaugh raised an intriguing question on the air: "Where are all of Obama's former girlfriends?"

In referring to past email inquiries he received on this subject, Limbaugh continued, "They are interesting because those people haven't surfaced. There aren't any ex-girlfriends that have admitted it."

In fact, I wrote about this question in my book, "Deconstructing Obama," and on these pages last year. As the likely source of these rumors, I thought I might clarify them, at least to the degree they can be clarified.

As it happens, Obama inadvertently raised the girlfriend issue himself in his 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father." Published when he was 33, "Dreams" documents Obama's all-consuming search for identity.

Whether he dated white women or black women – and what he might have learned from either – matters, but Obama gives the reader very close to nothing.

"Cosby never got the girl on 'I Spy,'" he laments in "Dreams," but in his own retelling, he does not do much better.

Although Obama spent 13 years on the mainland as a single man, on only one occasion in "Dreams" does Obama make any reference to his love life.

In a brief recounting, he tells his half-sister, Auma, that in addition to a white woman he had loved and lost, "There are several black ladies out there who've broken my heart just as good."

” ‘”In her eminent practicality and Midwestern attitudes, she reminds me not a little of Toot [his grandmother].”’

Good googly moodly—not even Ayers knows his English.

It’s ‘immanent’, doofus, not ‘eminent’. “

Much as I loathe defending Ayers, “immanent” means “about to happen”; “eminent” means outstanding or noteworthy.

None of which diminishes Ayers’ eminent doofusness.

BTW, I always thought it was “Great Googly Moogly”.

Just like Obama to confuse the midwest with the mideast...

Except it is spelled ‘imminent'

No, that's a different word.

That’s what I thought too. Fortunately I looked it up before I posted. Look up “immanent”.

I am not sure what this has to do with anything relevant, why question or bring it up?

In and of itself, you're right, it is irrelevant. But there's a larger picture of Obama simply being the "man who wasn't there". He's a guy with little documented history whom nobody seems to remember much, until he became editor of the Harvard Law Review (without any real body of work to support that).

It is relevant because it shows how little we know about this guy. All we really know about his life story is what he (?) wrote in is autobiography. Something isn't quite right here. This isn't normal. As the WND story sums it up, "This is what happens when other people write your books."

It is stuff like this from World Nut Daily that will guarantee an 0bama second term.

Whoever is the nominee of the Rep party in 2012, I hope he or she orders a complete cavity search of this guy's personal life. McCain refrained from attacking Obama personal narrative making it out of bounds for his campaign including prohibiting the use of Obama's middle name. We have never really vetted Obama or pressured him to reveal basic things about his life. No school and medical records. The questions about his birth certificate are still not fully resolved and it took Trump to make him produce what he did several years into his Presidency. Let's have a little more ops research on Obama and his associations.

We know the Dems will try to destroy the GOP candidate. Frankly, it is there only real chance to win.

You really believe Fahrenheit 911 helped Bush get reelected?! Wow. Never thought of that. Sometimes Byron York shows real bad judgement.

Oopsie. ‘Imminent’ means ‘about to happen’.

But who’s counting. ;)

I think he does mean “eminent” .

1. Of high rank, station, or quality; noteworthy: eminent members of the community.

2. Outstanding, as in character or performance; distinguished: an eminent historian.

3. Towering or standing out above others; prominent: an eminent peak.

“Iminent” means that something is happening momentarily.

Actually, "immanent" means "inherent." "Imminent" means "about to happen."

You know...no one knows for sure if Obama or Ayers penned Obama's autobiography. The suspicions sure remain. But, it seems obvious that neither one of them used an editor or even a proofreader.

Over the years we have heard and learned from hearing them that both Barack and Michelle speak poorly when not scripted. They make many grammatical mistakes and sound like street urchins who "don't got no" education. Obviously, they don't write any "gooder." either. LOL

I was listening to Rush that day and in addition to the comparison of the attacks on conservatives vs covering for Obama, Rush was making the point that no girlfriends, college roommates, college professors, NO ONE in these categories has ever come forth and given an interview about how ‘Barry was a great guy, we got high together and had a great time’ -

Usually when someone is elected to the Presidency, old buddies, old girlfriends, old teachers either come out of the woodwork or are searched out and interviewed by media types, for magazine articles or attack pieces or whatever.

No one has ever been interviewed about his/her memories of Barry during his college years and after -it’s as if he just materialized, all hopey changey and community organizing.

Or, there is a lot in his past that has been covered up in an amazingly thorough manner. Many dollars must have changed hands to ensure this empty suit remains empty.

That is my impression too.

The whole point of the girlfriend question is to imply he is really gay.
