WOW: Award-Winning Barack Obama Biographer Drops Several “Eyebrow-Raising” Claims About Ex-President in Interview Including that Obama FREQUENTLY Fantasized about Gay Sex to Former Girlfriend
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 8/4/2023 | cullen linebarger

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?

I wonder if that’s the same clinic where Seth Rich passed. ;)

Funny you say that. He died in a hospital, not a clinic. /official story line.

Yet, curiously, even at the Wikileaks timeline...

Found by police shortly after and taken to hospital.
...he was shot multiple times on the 2100 block of Flagler Place NW, three blocks east of Howard University Hospital, police said.
The Omaha, Nebraska, native was taken to a hospital, where he died.
RICH dies at hospital
pronounced dead after being transported to local hospital.

WHICH hospital??? Was he taken to Howard University Hospital since it was local? It doesn't say. Jennifer Palmieri's sister was a nurse at the hospital that night when Seth Rich came in. Was WL going to reveal the SR bombshell at that time? (self.conspiracy) submitted 9 hours ago by iloveher222 Jennifer Palmieri's sister was a nurse there.
Hillary's communication director, her sister was the nurse. Remember Palmieri was the one who tweeted around November 1st, "if you see or hear any outrageous story about Hillary in the next few days, remember its false". Was the SR story supposed to break in those days before the election? Did Palmieri think JA was going to drop info on this? Hillary said essentially the same thing as Palmieri around that time, that there were crazy stories floating around about her and that it was false.

I am not familiar AT ALL with the circumstances of Joan Rivers’ death.
Perhaps not the circumstances of her death, more like the cause...
joan rivers everybody knows

Act I - Joan Rivers Says President Obama Is Gay, And Michelle Is A Tranny
Act II - JOAN RIVERS JOKES MRS OBAMA "IS A TRANS"

Act III

The bad thing about the Court Jester is you always wonder when you've said too much
not in jest and have displeased the Court.

cue Kathy Griffin - she displeased the guests, not the Court.

Joan Rivers' Cause of Death RevealedRivers was sedated with propofol before she died of low blood oxygen during a procedure to treat voice changes and acid reflux, according to the New York City medical examiner. Rivers lacked sufficient oxygen to her brain for a prolonged period of time, which caused brain damage, the medical examiner said.

False dichotomy. If you pack fudge then you're a fag.

“RICH dies at hospital pronounced dead after being transported to local hospital.”

I did pay a lot of attention to the Rich story. IIRC, when he arrived at the hospital he wasn’t in bad shape. He was expected to make a full and easy recovery.

Then a different doctor showed up and shooed everyone out of the room. BLAM! Seth is dead. Coincidentally 😉, that very doctor’s name shows up several times on the White House Visitors Log, both pre-and post-death.

An OANN journalist did an extensive documentary on the issue back in the day, but I haven’t been able to find it in several years. I think the guy is still at OANN, but I can’t recall his name

I was back when Jack Posobiec was there, I think, but it wasn’t him. It’s know the name of I heard it.

1. Billie Joe and Bobbie Sue - Mikey (he'll eat anything) and Broke Backy (yes...in that order - clue - trans)
2. a man shot while castle was robbed (life taken) - Joan Rivers
3. Detective Billy Mack - the daughter uninterested in the death of her mother

JMO, YMMV

Bobbie Sue has a much harder role.
She must play a part to play the part and is a part needed as a part from the start.

Extra reel...

He's a woman trapped in a man's body and he can't dress as a woman so he has to dress like a man.
They both had to pull the long con from the start.

What do you think?

it's a vamp! The noun vamp is somewhat old fashioned, implying a woman (even a man identifying as a woman) who uses her charisma and beauty to charm men into doing what she wants them to do. You can also use it as a verb, meaning to tease or flirt, especially in a showy and manipulative way.

Rub a dub-dub
Three people dead in a tub.
butcher - she was a butcher on stage, a real killer
baker - I'm a chef, not a lowly pastry maker!
candle stick maker - someone who showed the light in the darkness

Thank you. That might be the ones. I know it was Person Sharp. I have found some videos about it, but the y were much shorter than the very long one I recall. I’ll watch this later.

Thanks again.

23 minutes of him. I don't know if there is anything besides that.

That just goes to show...if you want it done right...

I did what I could. You're welcome.

Obama looks like Malcolm X.

I once showed a montage of photos and asked people to pick out which ones were Malcolm X and which were Obama.

EVERYONE got it wrong, because they picked some were Obama, but they were ALL Malcolm X.

I was watching a history channel that had a segment on Castro coming to power in cuba. They had a lot of footage of castro. It looked just like Justin Trudeau
