Letters from young Obama show a man trying to find his way
Associated Press ^ | Oct 19, 2017 12:03 AM EDT | Jesse J. Holland

A young Barack Obama questioned his place in the world and his racial identity, agonized over whether he’d make enough money as a community organizer, and lamented his incompatibility with his ex-girlfriend in 30 pages of letters he wrote to her that are now being archived by Emory University in Atlanta.

The nine full letters, sent by Obama to his college girlfriend, Alexandra McNear, are being made public to researchers through Emory University’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library. The university has had the letters since 2014 but could only make them public now, officials said.

Written in the 1980s, the letters give a peek into Obama’s psyche as he sought out the path that would eventually land him in the White House as the United States’ first black president, Emory University officials said Wednesday. […]

The letters span 1982 to 1984. During that time, Obama was at Columbia University in New York City, in Indonesia, and finally working at Business International Corporation, “with everyone slapping my back,” in a job for which he had no passion. Obama wrote for the newsletter Business International Money Report.

“Salaries in the community organizations are too low to survive on right now, so I hope to work in some more conventional capacity for a year, allowing me to store up enough nuts to pursue those interests next,” Obama wrote in 1983. …

Bullshit artist. Bill Clinton was the same. Got laid more too. Obama is paying the price for royalty. No extracurricular sex.

“Written in the 1980s, the letters give a peek into Obama’s psyche as he sought out the path that would eventually land him in the White House.”

It should probably say “ghost written” and “forged recently” recently to give a peek at the types of made up BS will soon be available in the Obama Presidential Library.

“lamented his incompatibility with his ex-girlfriend”

should no doubt end with “because of his perverted desires for secret homo-sexual liaisons.”

Shave the mustache, trim the eyebrows, stain the skin a darker color and I am pretty sure you have found a picture of Zero and Moochie before they were married.

Here is his smoking buddy with whom he has entwined his hands.
Please note he is a different boyfriend from the previous one:

Wonder when the talk of “the slims” will no longer be just talk.

Looks like the swarthy Latino or Middle East look gets him all hot and sweaty.

I don't need any more evidence of his "psyche" - I've seen it over the past 8 years. He's a megalomaniacal bisexual grifter and liar, in a nutshell.

For background, Wikipedia:

"The new disease, at first called Slim Disease, became known as HIV/AIDS.[4]"

If his identity is who it was reported as, he was no “ordinary” roommate because of where he was from and possibly family members. Need more information on this.

Clinton had several roommates overseas who were reportedly tied into Soviet bloc intelligence families.

As I suspected, per Wiki:

Business International Corporation (BI) was a publishing and advisory firm dedicated to assisting American companies in operating abroad. It was founded in 1953. It organized conferences, and worked with major corporations. It had ties to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Former president Barack Obama worked there as a college graduate.
