President Obama's best friend from high school 'brutally beat and raped woman in her apartment'

25 September 2013



President Obama's high school best friend, who at one time was 'like a brother' to him, has been accused of brutally raping and beating a woman, it emerged today.

Keith Kiyoshi Kakugawa, 54, from Eureka, California, was arrested at his home last Sunday and booked into Humboldt County Jail on suspicion of false imprisonment, sexual penetration by force, oral copulation by force and battery.

The arrest is the latest in a long list of convictions for Kakugawa, who was close friends with the President when they both attended Panahou High School.

Since then, their lives have gone down completely different paths and Kakugawa is said to be so bitter over it, he even threatened to reveal stories from their school days after Obama became president.

'It's a sad tale of how two young boys who were best friends in high school took drastically different paths in their lives,' Kakugawa's father Kenneth told the National Enquirer.

'When Keith started to face hard times, he grew resentful and bitter of Barry's success.

'I'm sure [the President] would be disappointed to find out he has been arrested for rape. They were as close as brothers at one time in their lives.'

The 54-year-old has been in and out of prison, mainly for possession and dealing of cocaine, and spent some time living on the streets due to alcohol and drug problems.

Arcata Police Department Sgt Keith Altizer said detectives spent most of September 13 collecting evidence from the victim after she was attacked. Kakugawa was arrested later that day.

The victim told police she went to dinner with him and when they went back to her apartment he punched, slapped, sexually assaulted her and held her against her will.



Kakugawa is being held on $400,000 bond and if convicted, faces a lengthy prison sentence.

A source close to the former Wall Street trader told the Enquirer this may lead him to reveal his stories about the President.

'Keith knows a lot of secrets that could prove to be embarrassing for the commander-in-chief if they get out,' he said.

'They are mostly youthful indiscretions, but he would know more about Obama's teenage drug-taking than anyone. And now that he's really desperate and facing a lengthy prison stretch, he could spill the beans.'

Obama wrote about his former best friend in his autobiography Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, but referred to him as 'Ray' to protect his identity.

'Despite the difference in age, we'd fallen into an easy friendship, due in no small part to the fact that together we made up almost half of Punahou's black high school population,' the President wrote.

'I enjoyed his company. He had a warmth and brash humor.'

Kenneth Kakugawa said his son got in touch with Obama in 2007 during his first White House campaign but claims Obama brushed him off and passed him along to his assistant.

Barry sure hangs with some shady characters. Another best friend is Titcomb who was arrested for prostitution. There was some confusion whether he was in the buyer’s or seller’s market and which way he swings.

So, now we have 2 different “Ray” persons?

One is dead and this guy?

The fabrications surrounding this Manchurian Candidate, with some sprinkles or tiny tidbits of facts - like where he went to HS. All fabricated for the narrative sold to idiots. SMH

excerpt:

When Davis Met Obama

ALAS, IT WAS IN HAWAII that Frank Marshall Davis eventually influenced Barack Obama, beginning in 1970 and continuing throughout Obama’s adolescence. It was Obama’s maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, who introduced the pair, seeking in Davis the father figure and role model that Obama lacked at home.

That initial introduction was witnessed by a woman named Dawna Weatherly-Williams, a friend and nextdoor neighbor to Davis, so close that she called him “Daddy.” It had been eagerly anticipated by all sides, suggesting the potential that Davis rightly saw in Barack. “Frank was also a great listener, which may be why Barack liked him, too,” Weatherly-Williams told Obama biographer David Remnick. “I am sure he influenced Barack more than Barack is saying. About social justice, about finding out more about life, about what’s important, about how to use your heart and your mind.”

Davis already knew Stanley Dunham. “He knew Stan real well,” Weatherly-Williams told Toby Harnden of the London Telegraph. “They’d play Scrabble and drink and crack jokes and argue. Frank always won and he was always very braggadocio about it too. It was all jocular. They didn’t get polluted drunk. And Frank never really did drugs, though he and Stan would smoke pot together.”

Here we see the distinctly non-Rockwellian upbringing of the young Obama, which, reportedly, featured two elderly male influences smoking pot while they received Social Security and advocated socialism and Communism.

Weatherly-Williams informed the Telegraph that Davis was introduced to Obama “in 1970,” and Harnden wrote that the young Obama spent the previous three years in Indonesia with his mother and her second husband, Lolo Soetoro. If this timeline is accurate, which it appears to be, then Obama knew Frank Marshall Davis not merely for a few years but a full decade—i.e., throughout the entirety of his adolescence.

She became Ann Dunham Obama in January 1963, about the same time as she showed up with a toddler in Hawaii.
