In a new book called Barack Obama: The Story, author David Maraniss publishes diary entries and correspondence between the president, then in his early 20s, and two ex-girlfriends, providing new insight into Obama’s life in New York City while at Columbia University.

Perhaps an effort to cover up his “alternate” lifestyle in an election year?

I can just hear Moochelle up in the Family Quarters..."What's this,Barry? That bi**h from '87 works in the fundraising office!"

In fact, the book features an actual pic of Obama and one of the ladies...

I count two ladies in the foreground,more if you count the background.Even back then he was "post racial".

"Did he drink?"

Well it's a damn sure bet that the girlfriends did.

Perhaps "Were you blind from birth, or later in life?" is a better question.

Just because the letters start out, “Hey, girlfriend!” doesn’t mean they were written to girls.

My thoughts exactly. Where the heck is everyone from his past?

[ml/nj]

The letters between McNear and Obama centered around philosophy and literature.

Maybe I was an atypical guy, but none of my letters had anything to do with philosophy or literature. I think they mostly focused on things going on in my life at the time I wrote, and shared memories of the past.

Judging by the narrative in Dreams, I wouldn't think that philosophy and literature meant much to the young Obama.

BS

Guy was in gay relationships off and on during the 80’s.

Why are we now learning about these “girl friends”?

I would think they were proud to have been an interest of his at one time and they would have stepped forward.

[Leep]

Did the letters start out “Roses are red”?

Nah, they started out “I”
Also, he said, he doesn’t want to deprive other women of the pleasure of knowing him. You know “share the wealth that is me..Barry”

[Tenacious 1]

Only the most godless and a despicable couples would do so without being married.

I fear you may have gone a bridge too far, my FRiend.

[dagogo redux]

Trying to position himself for a green card back in the day?

Here's a pic of Obama's ex.

That’s some deep writing for a guy who “Uhs and Uhs” all day long.

“Dear Andy....I mean, ANDREA, not Andy....yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket....”

[urtax$@work]

We know he can, like many gay or bi guys, engage with women. Big whoop.
