Meet the First Obama Girlfriend

It only took nearly six years for the media to begin vetting President Obama’s past.

Today, Vanity Fair released an excerpt from a new biography of Barack Obama by David Maraniss. The excerpt discusses Barack Obama's first love affair, with a white Australian woman named Genevieve Cook. It's a telling examination of who Obama was as a young man -- and it shows a self-absorbed "internationalist" with delusions of grandeur.

The book itself sounds like an ode to Obama. Maraniss writes, “At age 20, Obama was a man of the world … He could not be of one place, rooted and provincial.” No, says Maraniss, this was a broadminded young man who “knew the ways of different cultures better than he knew himself.”

When he first moved to New York, he was in the midst of an affair with Alexandra McNear, a girl from Occidental. They exchanged a series of purple letters with one another – turgid missives from overfevered young minds. Here, for example, is tendentious Obama explaining poetry to his young girlfriend:

I haven’t read “The Waste Land” for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statements—Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time. Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this. Read his essay on Tradition and the Individual Talent, as well as Four Quartets,

Should be a blockbuster issue at Riyadh bookstores ... assuming the populace understands the relatively new meaning of “gay”.

"Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the economic foundation lead, sooner or later, to the transformation of the whole, immense, superstructure.

In studying such transformations, it is always necessary to distinguish between the material transformation of the economic conditions of production, which can be determined with the precision of natural science, and the legal, political, religious, artistic, or philosophic — in short, ideological forms in which men become conscious of this conflict and fight it out."

As I wrote someone else, perhaps his friend borrowed his coat for a ‘date’. Who knows?

The image 'courtesy Occidental College Special Collection' apparently from 1980, although he's quite incredibly much taller than anyone else in the room...seems to show he's wearing the same watch, that's IF the image supposedly from Occidental is genuine:

I'm under the impression the mystery of the enlarged cranium goes a little deeper than who might have borrowed a jacket...

No loyalty. Farrakhan marks Mao and Obama as transformational.

Farrakhan was complicit in the murder of Malcolm Little aka Malcolm X.

There is little resemblance of BHO Sr or FMD to BHO Jr but there's a great deal of resemblance of MX.

As for the transformational, the Obama puppeteer Bill Ayers called for 25 million resistors to the revolution to be eliminated (1971 Weatherman meeting monitored by CI).

Obama has intense hatred for America, Christianity, Western values of economic and religious freedom, and would get serious kicks from such elimination.

Stalin and the starvation of the Ukrainians, the gulags of his great purge scored tens of millions of victims.

Mao's Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, too, laid waste to tens of millions.

Obama is in a sea of radicals: Van Jones and Anita Dunne, Wright to New Black Panthers, flexible with Russians, bowing to Saudi Kings, cold and murderous toward the most vulnerable Americans, the unborn.

Obama's been assembled by a coven of commies from body parts. A Frankenstein monster of photoshopped legend, the man who wasn't there.

Mrs' Ayers' foreign student is so grateful.

But he's a narcissist, too--just look how fat his head is with Ayers' student Genevieve.

Lighting conditions, image processing, and many other technical factors (contrast, brightness, etc) can greatly effect the look of a photo. Also, black people, even half black ones like Obama, can and do get occasional suntans. But, clearly, that photo with Obama and his alleged ‘girlfriend’ is a fake. Head disproportionally too large. Head not positioned correctly with respect to the shoulders (looks like he doesn’t have a neck).

[ETL]

I just noticed the same watch in both pics:

Therefore, could the pic possibly be for real, even with the seemingly disproportionally large head? Skin tone likely just a result of contrast or brightness settings, or suntan. Different types of lighting also affects the way things appear. ie, florescent vs natural or other.

Sorry, Fred. I'm getting ready to eat dinner now and so didn't read your post carefully before commenting the same thing about the watch.

[potlatch]

Thanks Fred. Obama has given us reason, but I think we become overly suspicious of every photo anymore. If we look through our own family albums we will see pictures that seem odd or distorted, but we know they are real.

The one that puzzles me most is the couch photo where Sadiqqi [sp?] has 10 fingers on one hand and it’s not Obama’s hand.

[Fred Nerks]

I know what you mean...but even if they were holding hands in that 'on the couch' image, what does it matter? He spent so much time in his youth in muslim countries where boys hold hands...and with muslim room-mates and friends.

I was hoping to take the question of 'who is wearing that jacket' by making some age-comparisons, but that doesn't work, now I have the Central Park face with a nose that doesn't fit...and frankly, he looks most like the boy who just graduated in 1979 in that image with Genevieve.

The Central Park fake is supposed to be 1982 iirc, and the caption on the black and white crop says 1980. He looks older in 1980 than in all of them.

What do you think?

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY about one big happy family...

In 1935, Paul Robeson starred in the film Sanders of the River Paul Robeson gave the part of an African chief to his friend, a man who would ultimately be know as Jomo Kenyatta

Paul Robeson was known as the Pupil of W.E.B. Du Bois, who wrote in praise of Stalin

EXCERPT:

Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. He seldom lost his poise; pondered his problems slowly, made his decisions clearly and firmly; never yielded to ostentation nor coyly refrained from holding his rightful place with dignity. He was the son of a serf but stood calmly before the great without hesitation or nerves. But also - and this was the highest proof of his greatness - he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate.

Stalin was not a man of conventional learning; he was much more than that: he was a man who thought deeply, read understandingly and listened to wisdom, no matter whence it came. He was attacked and slandered as few men of power have been; yet he seldom lost his courtesy and balance; nor did he let attack drive him from his convictions nor induce him to surrender positions which he knew were correct. As one of the despised minorities of man, he first set Russia on the road to conquer race prejudice and make one nation out of its 140 groups without destroying their individuality.

Frank Marshall Davis credited Paul Robeson with persuading him to move to Hawaii

SOURCE

In early 1945, the FBI identified Davis as a member of the Carver Second Ward West of the Communist Political Association. The following year, the Bureau identified him as a member of the Carver Club of the Communist Party. Davis' wife, meanwhile, was a member of the Paul Robeson Club of the Communist Party of Chicago.

"Biography Hawaii: Koji Ariyoshi” is part of Conybeare’s “Rice and Roses” PBS series. According to Conybeare’s video, before hiring Frank Marshall Davis, Koji Ariyoshi joined the WW2-era Military Intelligence Service/OSS—predecessor to the CIA—and used his language skills to land himself a position as U.S. military liaison to Communist forces in China—working personally with Mao Zedong.

The Record employed the services of Frank Marshall Davis almost immediately upon his arrival in Hawaii. ILWU Chief Jack Hall and Honolulu Record editor Ariyoshi were among the Honolulu Seven defendants identified as key leaders of the Communist Party in Hawaii and convicted in 1953 of “conspiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of the government by force and violence.” Their convictions were reversed January 20, 1958 after the Supreme Court re-interpreted the Smith Act.

SHIRLEY GRAHAM

On February 27, 1951, fifty-four year old Shirley Graham and eighty-four year old W.E.B. DuBois married in New York City. For the next decade, the famous couple fought a number of legal battles against the United States government due to his alleged connection to the Communist Party. In 1961, they both renounced their U.S. citizenship and became citizens of Ghana. DuBois died in Accra two years later.

Mr & Mrs Du Bois with Kwame Nkrumah and wife in Accra, Ghana

Malcolm X attended a function in Accra Ghana with Shirley Graham DuBois and Maya Angelou in 1964.

Maya Angelou came to Hawaii just before Malcom was killed, she spent six months in Hawaii with her brother Bailey Johnson Jr, who lived in Hawaii.

SEE PAGE 70 FOR IMAGE

Shirley Graham DuBois remained in Accra until the overthrow of her political patron Kwame Nkrumah in 1966. She then moved to Cairo and from there traveled throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and occasionally the U.S. for the next decade to promote her messages of anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism.

So I'm thinking...that group should maybe start with Stalin and Mao, and include w.e.b. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, Frank Marshall Davis, Malcolm X and THEN zero...

[Fred Nerks]

FYI: Recall, I posted a number of times that a Hal Siddiqi was shown as an employee of a Seattle Theatre...he's not hard to find, Zaba Search has him listed in Seattle:

SOHALE SIDDIQI

However, the theatre webpage has been removed and replaced without his name.

[but even if they were holding hands in that 'on the couch' image, what does it matter?]

That's the whole point with me Fred, I believe THAT photo is photoshopped. You can see a part of Obama's arm to the right of his leg and two fingers to the left side of his leg.

If you look above my 'arm arrow' you will see a slightly light squarish area that 'could' possibly be the face of the black watch he always wears.

I find it so silly when some giggle and insinuate that those flesh colored areas might be his privates........I mean, come-on, you can see the center seam of his jeans and two probably fingers and they think that is 'something' w a y on the right side of his leg!! If their thoughts were true, he would have been better equipped to enter Porn Movies than the White House, LOLOL

I have no quibble at all about his gay episodes, in fact I was the first one here to make up animated gifs of Obama and Larry Sinclair in a Limo and Sinclair used that image as the header of his web page years ago! I'm using a new computer and windows7 won't accept my favorite 'Picture It Program' for cutting out things. I could have easily cut out Sidiqqi and have him sitting by anyone. And - I had already mentioned the strangeness of the winter/summer clothing, which adds to my opinion.......

I do agree that of the 4 pictures you posted, he does look older in the far right one but perhaps it's the starkness of a black and white photo.

[potlatch]

I went and looked. It doesn’t let you go much further unless you are signed up [and pay] there. I saw his name for New York City too.

Shoot, I see that I am still misspelling his name in my other post!!

[Fred Nerks]

I agree, that’s his arm and fingers you can see, his left hand is in his lap and I never thought otherwise. As to Siddiqi having too many fingers, other than TWO hands being shown holding that cigarette, isn’t it possible his fingers are curled up, almost like he’s double jointed?
Every fake image has to have a purpose.
The fake in Central Park was to make it appear he still had a relationship with the Dunhams. That they visited him when he was in New York.
What might the purpose be of the image with Siddiqi on the couch?

[potlatch]

[isn’t it possible his fingers are curled up, almost like he’s double jointed?]

Not to me, I just see too much there. I even curl up my hand and can’t get the effect of that many fingers. I’m used to cutting out images, even going as far as cutting out strands of hair, so I’m not without some degree of perception on this type of thing.

Since I haven’t kept up with all of this, as you have, my best guess is that someone wanted to establish Obama as being gay by posing them on the couch. Pictures have a more lasting effect than the written word.

Before that, Sinclair came out with his accusations of an affair with Obama, but there were no pictures to confirm it as far as I know.

It would also be an attempt to confirm his ‘gayness’ in relationship to the stories of the dead men from Wright’s church. I’m guessing Fred, nothing is confirmed so it’s all guesses.

Why would the fake picture with the Dunhams be so important. I don’t understand the importance of establishing that.

RECOLLECTIONS OF OBAMAS EX ROOMMATE

... The apartment had no interior doors, just archways, and Mr. Boerner had to walk through Mr. Obama’s room to reach his own. Hot water was scarce, and the two young men often showered at the Columbia gym...

A young Phil Boerner, in a photo he says was taken by Barack Obama.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONE KNEW OBAMA IN

So if you study the two articles and the obvious deliberate misidentification of who the roommates were, and then factor in the Central Park fake, it suggests what was important was to make us believe (a) he was at Columbia (b) the Dunhams visited him in Central Park while he was there.

[Fred Nerks]

imo, they could be holding hands quite openly and it would be meaningless anyway; as I wrote, he spent his childhood in a culture in which boys hold hands, and as he is sitting next to a muslim, it suggests nothing about being gay. It just LOOKS that way to us, muslim men kiss on the lips in public. It’s cultural.
What appears to be important is they are trying to establish where he was and when he was there...where-ever he was...and that Central Park image is important in that context. But it’s a FAKE!
Regardless of what you have been told so far, as there are no records, how do you know he was at Columbia?
All that the images tell us is that he, Siddiqi and Boerner were all in that apartment at some time. We don’t know when that was. WAS IT IN 1981?
While you focus on the fingers of one hand, what else is there that you do not see?
If you can think of a reason that would be important to photo-shop him next to Siddiqi on the couch, I’m all ears. But I cannot see what that would achieve.
