A media outlet is raising eyebrows across the country regarding a 16,000-plus word interview it conducted with former President Barack Obama’s award-winning biographer. In the interview, the biographer drops what Fox News describes as several “eyebrow-raising” claims including one that raises a question regarding Obama’s sexuality.
As Fox News reported, Tablet’s David Samuels sat down lengthy Q&A with historian David Garrow, who wrote the 2017 biography “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.” The book was widely praised by corporate media outlets including the Washington Post, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Politico.
Garrow previously won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for the book “Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.”
The interview starts with Garrow sharing the story about how Obama’s relationship with Sheila Miyoshi Jager, his girlfriend in the 1980s, ended. Garrow says their relationship fell apart after Obama refused to condemn antisemitism.
As Samuels notes, the former president’s version of the breakup was far different in his infamous memoir “Dreams of my Father.” Obama wrote that the relationship ended because he wanted to embrace his “Black racial consciousness,” which conflicted with his Caucasian girlfriend.
Whose version of the story is correct? Who knows. The bridge between the two accounts is Obama’s emerging attachment to Blackness, which required him to fall in love with and marry a Black woman. In Obama’s account, his attachment to Blackness is truthful and noble. In Jager’s account, his claims are instrumental and selfish; he grants particularism to the experience and suffering of his own tribe while denying it to others.
But the claim that is getting the most buzz is the part where Garrow discusses Obama’s girlfriend at Occidental College, Alex McNair. He revealed that when McNair showed him letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just claimed that “It’s about homosexuality.”
Moreover, a man named Harvey Klehr was assigned curating the letters, which are located at Emory University and they would not let him take a single photo.
This begs the question: could Obama be gay or bisexual?
...more
Yep
Y’all miss the point. Obama is Bisexual, he Fu**ed eveybody in the USA and got off on it.
I've sometimes wondered that myself. LOL
Um...Big Mike?
“Imagine someone of Obama’s Kenyan background, but raised by a white Conservative Mother and Grandmother, instead of a Marxist one.”
I’m not sure I believe that Barry is really Kenyan and that Barack Sr. is truly his father. Seemed like Barack Sr was a convenient cover if the mom got knocked up by his grandpa’s drinking buddy Frank Marshall Davis (aka “Pops”).
Most people already know he’s gay. Dangling this information now seems like the powers that be are going to start distracting from legitimate backlash for Obama’s crimes by claiming the backlash is from white Christians objecting to his homosexuality. What else could it be? Some strategy...I dunno...
“Wow”
More like “Yawn” for those of us who pay attention.
“Former girlfriend” right, cough cough.
Bullshiite.
That fag is 110% homo. If he did go out with a female, it was for “beard’ cover.
Sounds like you need a good hound dog to cuddle with.
I guess the more like a woman they appeared the less revolting they would be, but in the end they are always going to have that ugly alien worm hanging between their legs!
Surprise, surprise.
We posted pictures here of young Barack sitting a couch very close to another man holding hands..
Is this vindication of Larry Sinclair’s allegations involving Obama, sex, and cocaine in a limo circa 1999?
Seems to be.
The church Obama attended — remember Jeremiah Wright? — had a reputation as a “down low” congregation, where homosexual black men could quietly meet. Sometimes marriages were arranged when needed for advancement. Several young men in the congregation Obama was rumored to have “dated” died untimely deaths. The choir director was one, and there was at least one other . . .
Clinton-Bammy-Biden the Three Stooges
that took down ‘Merica.
.
We had a Good run.
Bathhouse Barry gay? I’m shocked!
I heard Moochelle in a speech say her "husband's home country of Kenya".
That kind of seals the deal for me the guy is from Kenya. No one really says "my home country" without meaning that is where they were born.
