The time Obama walked in on a staffer who had a friend in bed
Washington Post ^ | 01/13/2015 | Carlos Lozada

Reggie Love knows how to put the body in “bodyman.”

In a memoir due out in early February, Love recounts his years working for Barack Obama – in the Senate, on the 2008 campaign and in the White House. Fresh out of Duke University, where he’d been captain of the Blue Devils basketball squad, Love joined Team Obama in 2007 and soon became the senator’s personal aide, a role he would keep through the primaries, general election and most of the first term.

In that role (known as “bodyman”), Love spent a lot of time alongside Obama. The two men got to know each other extremely well. Sometimes too well. In a 2007 campaign stop in West Palm Beach, Fla., during a particularly stressful time on the trail, an old friend from college visited Love. “She ended up staying the night,” Love writes in his memoir. The next morning, Love was up and getting ready for the day, but his guest was still in bed. It was then that Obama suddenly let himself into the hotel room, Love explains, using a Secret Service master key. As Love tells it:

I remember the most peremptory of knocks, the sound of his voice talking even as he walked in. … He was charged up, going a mile a minute.

“Hey, Reggie, we need to go over the schedule” – at which point the senator finally noticed my friend in bed, covers pulled to her throat, mortified.

It probably happened, but it wasn't a girl in bed with reggie. And Obama was jealous.

An obvious attempt to dial down this gay tinged bromance

Reggie is still flown in to shoot hoops with our numbskull president and to "hang out" in general which can mean anything

"“Was that?” she asked, face red."

She??? I doubt Reggie had a female in the bed...more like a transgender or cross-dresser. Obama was just letting himself in for the usual ménage à trois.

Did the AP hire 11,fact checkers to pore over this book, as they did with Sarah Palin’s book? Has this fact that it was a girl and not a guy been verified????

I think this was done to show that both Reggie and Barack are NOT gay. If you have to make such and effort to “prove a negative” then most likely the rumors are true.

I think the true story is that Michelle walked in on Reggie looking for Barack, and it was Barack who was hiding under the sheets.

Obama walked in because he was going to join in the action between Love and the other guy.
