It is in the personal realm that Garrow’s account is particularly revealing. He shares for the first time the story of a woman Obama lived with and loved in Chicago, in the years before he met Michelle, and whom he asked to marry him. Sheila Miyoshi Jager, now a professor at Oberlin College, is a recurring presence in “Rising Star,” and her pained, drawn-out relationship with Obama informs both his will to rise in politics and the trade-offs he deems necessary... Garrow, who received a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of Martin Luther King Jr., concludes this massive new work with a damning verdict on Obama’s determination: “While the crucible of self-creation had produced an ironclad will, the vessel was hollow at its core.”
Jager, who in “Dreams From My Father” was virtually written out, compressed into a single character along with two prior Obama girlfriends, may have evoked something of Obama’s distant mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. Like Dunham, Jager studied anthropology, and while Dunham focused on Indonesia, Jager developed a deep expertise in the Korean Peninsula. Jager was of Dutch and Japanese ancestry...
In Garrow’s telling, Obama made emotional judgments on political grounds. A close mutual friend of the couple recalls Obama explaining that “the lines are very clearly drawn. If I am going out with a white woman, I have no standing here.” And friends remember an awkward gathering at a summer house, where Obama and Jager engaged in a loud, messy fight on the subject for an entire afternoon. (“That’s wrong! That’s wrong! That’s not a reason,” they heard Sheila yell from their guest room, their arguments punctuated by bouts of makeup sex.) Obama cared for her, Garrow writes, “yet he felt trapped between the woman he loved and the destiny he knew was his.”

like anyone is going to believe this...
Wright once told 60 Minutes News (I think) his church? gave prisoners a way to be accepted by Islam by not being Christian but NOT being known as Muslim.
The pile of dirt is so great that it cannot remain hidden forever. You haven’t seen anything yet.
Let me guess. The other woman’s name was Marvin.
Before Michelle, Barack Obama asked another woman to marry him. Then politics got in the way.
Thanks, Seizethecarp.
Yuck. Sounds like a scene from the soap opera "The Young and the Restless."
The calculated life
A second-hand life - he lived out someone else’s aspirations.
Sad.
True that
Naturally, this WaPo write-up ignores the part in this book about Barry trying out “gayness”...
These obama bios are really is Bible, because there is no proof that any of what he writes is true and often not verifiable, like his birthday; therefore, you have to accept it all by faith.
Not to hijack the thread, but with all due respect, much of the Bible actually is quite verifiable~perhaps more than you think...
The faith part comes down to John 3:16...
Before Michelle, Barack Obama asked another woman to marry him>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Was Ms. Miyoshi Jaeger a transvestite?
Looks similar to Valerie Jarrett.
He must have forgotten to tell Bill Ayres, he never mentioned her in ‘Dreams’
she’s flogging a book.
she’s flogging a book.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes, Wet Dreams of My Father did not encompass his early trysts with Ms. Miyoshi Jaeger.
One wonders why the omission......ooops I forgot! LOL.
He omitted huge chapters of his life.
Sad, isn’t it? The only people who won’t accept Barry as he is, let him love whom he wants, are his friends in the media.
Sure, we believe le loved women and wanted to marry them. Ha. He wanted to play the part and needed that beard wife. Wright hooked him up with Mooch. Did he ever experiment with women? Sure, why not? Many gay men have, especially back then. The guy is homosexual. Probably not even bisexual.
Pardon me. I believe in the Bible, and I am aware that it is verifiable.
With that being said . . . you deliberately miss my point so you can preach? My point is, that obama writes this stuff, and the press pushes it as Truth; LIKE a CULT. Perhaps, I should I have used the word koran or some other word for a holy book cults of the World follow. Get over your self righteousness.
