Author reveals Obama love letters

The Hill ^ | May 2, 2012 | Johnathan Easley

[Jedidah]

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.

[tobyhill]

Did the letters start out “Roses are red”?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I didn't know Bill Ayers wrote love letters, too!

[barmag25]

What about the love letters to boyfriends?

[tcrlaf]

Gotta head off the “Obama on the Down-low” and “Obama The Metrosexual” stories making the rounds these days.

[Da Coyote]

The dork can write? Whod’a known?

Did the cretin remember to sign the letters with Obama, or Barry, instead of Bill Ayers?

Sorry, I believe nothing about the quota baby.

[RWGinger]

I call BS
if all those ‘ diaries’ existed they would have been published before
and one key lie
when Geniveve says Obama is a strong write?>
Really so that is why his first publisher, who advanded him 125K frooped him when he failed to write the book he was contracted for
and the justification used then was that writing was not his strong suit. speaking was

now we are supposed to believe 0dumbo was the deep philosophical writer?

BS

[Slings and Arrows]

How convenient.

[spaced]

It should be located in the Fiction section.

[Jedidah]

Taking this with a big grain of salt, but it’s interesting. Perhaps an effort to cover up his “alternate” lifestyle in an election year?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I think they are just trying to establish that he was actually in-country during the period of time in question.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Girlfriends?

When I first saw that title, I assumed Obama had written them to his only true love, himself.

[Salamander]

Nah..."Romance" section.

[Gay State Conservative]

Dear Bill,

Thanks for the autographed copy of Rules For Radicals.Looking forward to getting together to plan a day of action for the G8 Summit.Great to hear you've been tenured at the University of Chicago,sure beats a 30 year rap at Levenworth,huh?

[Obadiah]

What’s to disbelieve? Obama wrote these missives last year... just in time for discovery. It’s magic I tell you!

[Mich Patriot]

"...and two ex-girlfriends..."

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

[Tenacious 1]

Get the girlfriends out here. Let’s see them and talk to them?

“How’d you meet? What was your first date? Did you introduce him to your parents? What did he drive? Did he buy you any gifts? What did you find attractive about him? Did he drink? Drugs? Sex? Where did he live? How was he paying for college? Did you break it off or did he?”

The girls should start working to get their stories straight.

[Uncle Slayton]

“A diary kept by Genevieve Cook, whom Obama met at an East Village Christmas party in 1983 and whom he lived with briefly, was more romantic, and depicts the domestic life the two shared together.”

Nice to know that Obama was a fornicator that lived with a shack-up girlfriend.

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

[SparkyBass]

All found in Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes, no doubt.

“Roses are Red,
Birds sing the in the tree
I’ve not yet found a girl
as lovely as me”

[QT3.14]

Gotta head off the “Obama on the Down-low” and “Obama The Metrosexual” stories making the rounds these days.

From the Obamafile's 'Down Low' section:

How come not one single woman has ever, ever come
forward with her "my date with Barack" story, or tender
remembrances of their brief, but intense relationship?

Not one -- ever!

Girls talk.

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!"

[jackv]

Oh brother...he just happens to have a Sunday Times in his hand???

this is beyond hysterical!!

[kevcol]

XOXOXO :)

[jackv]

LOL

[Gay State Conservative]

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".

[Mich Patriot]

"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.

[aruanan]

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

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

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?

[dragonblustar]

Here's a pic of Obama's ex.

[Vendome]

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

[CatherineofAragon]

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

[urtax$@work]

i see your BS and raise your BS to a full house of BS on this one.

[Clara Lou]

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Aughhhhh!

[Mich Patriot]

Girlfriend #2:

[Yaelle]

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

[twister881]

Negroes on the down-low such as Obama don't consider themselves homosexual. They often have wives or girlfriends and behave bisexually. However, Bathhouse Barry is such an obvious down-low “bottom” that the false trail of former New York girlfriends won't throw off anyone except those leftists who already have consumed the Kool-Aid.

[dynachrome]

Her name was “Helen Keller”?

[Harley]

The girls should start working to get their stories straight.

Dead women tell no tales. Neither do fictitious ones. They got the bases covered.

[Yo-Yo]

“How’d you meet? What was your first date? Did you introduce him to your parents? What did he drive? Did he buy you any gifts? What did you find attractive about him? Did he drink? Drugs? Sex? Where did he live? How was he paying for college? Did you break it off or did he?”

Apt screen name you have there. ;^)

[Sacajaweau]

Ding Ding Ding

[RegulatorCountry]

Looks like he needs a hip hop nick for the 2012 campaign.

How about D-Lo? Cool Lo-Dee?

[Uncle Slayton]

We as a Christian nation and society must not accept the practice of couples living together (shacking-up) before marriage.

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh right....They kept the love letters...yeh right...

[Leep]

Hey babe,
I just wanted to point out that Karl Marx would have enjoyed golf.
I am certain he would have golfed every chance he could.
Not to mention that Chairman Mao, when he wasn’t busy starving tens of millions of his own people, was entitled to go on a vacation frequently.

Love ya,
Barry Bear

[PLD]

Bull!!!He didn't have girlfriends he had boy friends..I think these letters are made up for the election,everyone knows about Sinclair..
