New Biography: Young Obama ‘Considered Gayness’
The Daily Caller ^ | 04/26/2016 | ALEX PFEIFFER

Posted on 04/26/2017 7:37:17 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

President Barack Obama considered being homosexual as a young man, according to a forthcoming biography of the president.

The biography by David Garrow, “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama,” is set to come out on May 9. Garrow wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Martin Luther King Jr., and is a regular contributor to The New York Times and The Washington Post.

In a chapter about the former president’s two years at Occidental College, Garrow reveals a close relationship Obama had with an openly gay assistant professor named Lawrence Goldyn.

-------------------------------------------------

“Three years later, Obama wrote somewhat elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness, but ultimately had decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex,” Garrow wrote. “But there is no doubting that Goldyn gave eighteen-year-old Barry a vastly more positive and uplifting image of gay identity and self-confidence than he had known in Honolulu.”

Garrow recently spoke about his book on The Jamie Weinstein Show. When asked about Obama experimenting with homosexuality, Garrow paused and replied, “I think anyone and everyone, no matter what their role in life deserves a certain basic degree of privacy, in that context.”

Obama . . . decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex”

Yeah, that's a good reason to go hetero.

Obama to boyfriend: You're not "challenging and demanding" enough for me, so I think I'll go after Michelle. She's about as challenging and demanding as they come--and with her, I can pretend I'm not gay.

So this is their cover-story to explain away facts as they leak out through an increasingly disinterested Media?

He didn’t consider it he was a willing plaything for wealthy older men

"President Barack Obama considered being homosexual as a young man"

I'm pretty sure he went beyond the consideration step.....

“It was girls girls girls.... er,”

As Ed Hoffman said in the movie “Body of Lies”: In the words of the great Sam Snead: “If you’re not thinking about **ssy, you’re just not concentrating.”

Considered being gay, the same way he considered not lying his ass off about everything in his entire life. Didn’t he also consider being anti-America? Can anybody doubt that he was and still is anti-America?

But, if he could run again, his “perhaps gayness” would be considered a big plus in his resume.

So, are we now supposed to consider adding another group to the LGBT community, and with perhaps gay, we’d end up with “LGBT-PG”? Nothing “PG” about perhaps gay, but that’s how abbreviations work, unfortunately.

BTW, wasn’t there a character on SNL by the name of “Pat”, an androgynous character whose gender was “un-determinable”?

We had 2 “Pats” in the White House for 8 years.

Obama part of “It gets better” campaign to encourage teens to accept being gay. Notice how strongly he makes the case.

Obama has always had a preponderance of support from the Gay community which holds to the idea that Gayness is genetic. Now Baraka Obama, a hero to many, says it’s not so? What? Was he de-programmed or something? That should go over well.

All his composite girlfriends mentioned in Dreams From My Father will vouch for him.

Love the picture of him riding his bike with his helmut on and a big girly grin.

You freeper guys had him pegged all along. Of course seeing him throw that pitch at the BB game was very revealing.

It sort of makes you wonder why Michele was so grumpy all the time, doesn’t it? Having to put on an act all the time does get tiring.

Are they back to being Sasha’s parents now?
