As WND reported, radio host Rush Limbaugh raised an intriguing question on the air: "Where are all of Obama's former girlfriends?"
In referring to past email inquiries he received on this subject, Limbaugh continued, "They are interesting because those people haven't surfaced. There aren't any ex-girlfriends that have admitted it."
In fact, I wrote about this question in my book, "Deconstructing Obama," and on these pages last year. As the likely source of these rumors, I thought I might clarify them, at least to the degree they can be clarified.
As it happens, Obama inadvertently raised the girlfriend issue himself in his 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father." Published when he was 33, "Dreams" documents Obama's all-consuming search for identity.
Whether he dated white women or black women – and what he might have learned from either – matters, but Obama gives the reader very close to nothing.
"Cosby never got the girl on 'I Spy,'" he laments in "Dreams," but in his own retelling, he does not do much better.
Although Obama spent 13 years on the mainland as a single man, on only one occasion in "Dreams" does Obama make any reference to his love life.
In a brief recounting, he tells his half-sister, Auma, that in addition to a white woman he had loved and lost, "There are several black ladies out there who've broken my heart just as good."

There should certainly be friends from his childhood somewhere. We know he has hired at least one of them, TurboTax Timmy, which will definitely keep Timmy from ever giving any interviews.
Fear of the Chicago Way is one way to keep a lid on anything that doesn’t compliment the Obama story, but what would people in other countries, or Hawaii, be afraid of?
Those thrown under the bus also keep silent, and no questions will be asked by the MSM in Zero’s pocket.
Of all the things this administration manages to do well, a complete and total media blackout of almost all of Zero’s past life is the most impressive. Well, that and the destruction of our economy.
Last mon th the History Channel had a two hour special on the previously undiscovered JFK home movies.....these were early color 8mm movies of JFK at prep school, at Harvard, out with his friends...girls he dated..and this was in the 1930's....
I have yet to read an interview with ONE person who attended a class with Obama at Columbia or Harvard..or knew him..it's very strange
It wasn’t just the girlfriends that Rush was talking about, but his entire personal history. Rush asked: where are the girlfriends? Where are the schoolmates who remember him? Where are the students who remember him as their professor at Harvard?
And I bet there'd be more money from Abercrombie and Fitch to not wear their clothes in public!
The ones who used the restroom at the Chicago bus terminal are all dead.
And this is a warning not to rehash the Perry/gay thing again.
Try this. Go to your favorite search engine and type in, ‘eminently practical’. Mine gave me no direct hits, just one word or the other.
Then type in ‘immanently practical’. I got more hits for that exact quote than I could count. Now you may not find that dispositive but I do. Usage determines the meaning of words. ‘Eminent’ isn’t used the way Ayers used it; ‘immanent’ is.
Of AIDS?
I sit corrected

You are right!!!! It’s unprecedented!
You’re confusing ‘immanent’ with ‘imminent’. A common mistake.
Maybe he is the girlfriend.
I'd never heard of "immanent." I was thinking of "imminent," even though I misspelled it in my reply.
I get almost precisely the opposite results. In fact, a search for “immanently practical” instead showed results for “eminently practical,” assuming that was what I must have meant.
There is something very strange about this guy obama.
Furthermore, porn publisher Larry Flynt has alleged that one Bush affair led his then-girlfriend to have an abortion, and claims to have 5 affidavits from friends of the woman and others supporting the claim. Again the woman does not want to be named, which makes it hard to prove the claim, but you can't really blame a lady for not wanting to be known as the "Bush abortion girl." Flynt made this allegation on CNN. The host of the program actually said "Now we at CNN don't want to be accused of censoring anybody...", yet that is exactly what CNN did. They removed the show's transcript and links from their web site days after the broadcast. You can still get details on the incident at the Bush Watch web site. They have more details here.
Rumors of the affair, and Fitzgerald's full name, were often well-known to members of the media who had covered Bush and his career but for many years were not discussed on the record. Veteran New York Times reporter R.W. Apple said her name was "known everywhere, and it is not used". The affair was first publicly reported by LA Weekly in 1988. During the 1988 presidential campaign, Donna Brazile, a campaign aide to Bush's opponent Michael Dukakis, was asked to resign after she told reporters that George H.W. Bush needed to "'fess up" about unsubstantiated rumors of an extramarital affair. Said Brazile, "The American people have every right to know if Barbara Bush will share that bed with him in the White House."
However, the alleged affair did not come to the full attention of the public until the next presidential campaign in 1992, after Bush's opponent, Bill Clinton, had to deal with disclosures of his own sexual infidelity. That August, Spy magazine made her the centerpiece of a story suggesting she was but one of many Bush paramours, and then other stories forced the media to address the issue. As a result Bush was personally confronted about it by NBC and CNN, and a front page story in the Washington Post. Bush did not give a direct answer to the question of an affair on these occasions. In a White House press conference he called the allegations "a lie".
Of AIDS?
Hell no!
‘It wasn’t just the girlfriends that Rush was talking about, but his entire personal history. Rush asked: where are the girlfriends? Where are the schoolmates who remember him? Where are the students who remember him as their professor at Harvard?’
How many years did this entire fiasco have to be pre-planned? Hunting folks down and guaranteeing their silence, isn’t done overnight.
Hiding all the records isn’t easy or fast.
Makes the Manchurian Candidate seem a lot more plausible. I’m going to put on my tin foil hat now.
