Before Barack Obama ever met his wife, Michelle, at her Chicago law firm, the future 44th president of the United States asked another woman to marry him in 1986—while the two were visiting her parents' home, a new biography claims.
“Rising Star,” which is written by David J. Garrow, was reviewed Tuesday in The Washington Post. The review said, "Garrow portrays Obama as a man who ruthlessly compartmentalized his existence; who believed early on that he was fated for greatness; and who made emotional sacrifices in the pursuit of a goal that must have seemed unlikely to everyone but him."
According to the review, Sheila Miyoshii Jager, his love interest, refused his advances at the time because her mother said she was too young. She was 23 and Obama was 25.
The two continued to see each other, but Jager told Garrow that shortly after the proposal, Obama became more ambitious.
“I remember very specifically that by 1987, about a year into our relationship, he already had his sights on becoming president,” she said, according to the book. She told Garrow that Obama’s “resolution of his black identity was directly linked to his decision to pursue a political career,” according to the review.
Jager is of Dutch and Japanese ancestry. The review pointed out that Obama-- who was a community organizer at the time-- was eyeing a political run for mayor of Chicago or a U.S. Senator. The review pointed out another book that said at the time, it could be seen as a political liablity for a black politican in the area to have a wife that was not African-American.

I’m surprised she’s not holding up her book in front of her face.
Interesting in that there are a couple of ways you can interpret the headline.
Hell, the Zero was already married to a Pakistani rump ranger and he was still wearing the ring last time I looked. The famous ring that always goes in for repairs during a certain Muslim time.
“Mom was no doubt speaking in Mother’s Code when she told this 23-year-old she was too young to marry.”
Mom was very sensible.
She aged a heckova lot better than that other one.
Nice how she has copies of her book posed on the left, ha ha. Author self-promotion!

...but she was smart and ran the other way!
Her family had the very first failed bank. At every turn the communist party was behind Obama.
Does she have a connection to radicala or communism?

I hope I live long enough to see 0bama exposed for the fraud he was/is/always will be.
I’m not holding my breath because ‘the clintons’ are still walking around FREE!
Grrrr!
She liked straight guys. He’s not.
The Manchurian Candidate has hard time telling you his name unless it’s on a teleprompter. A purely packaged nothing from Soros.
The question is, did Barack marry Michael (Michelle) BEFORE or AFTER her operation?
you don’t hear of people in Chi-town with any “I knew him when” stories.
Just shows that marrying a tranny will turn you gay.
Safe to say. I have "people" at the top of the DNC who told me about Obama in 2003, and the word at that time was "Let's see how he does giving the 2004 DNC keynote address."
Prior to 2003, he was not in their org chart.
Not a "complete" mystery. Everyone who gets sheep-dipped is given a cover story that has at least one living witness at each inflection point who will "confirm" the faux background to any questioner.
Where did Obama get his first job? BIC.
Where did he go? Pakistan.
Who was there at the time? Charlie Wilson.
Who got caught viewing Obama's classified passport? John Brennan.
If you don't know BIC, Charlie Wilson, and John Brennan, then Obama's background will be a "mystery" to you.
