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."

I laughed because I thought you were describing 0bama sarcastically: sports, school and so forth, and then a return to a mythical "community" which he of course never left. The extremely interesting thing about 0bmama is that he has never been a memeber of any community. None at all.
As for 0bama's past indescretions: I'm sure the President is a slave to any number of enthusiasms which I do not share. The only one which really concerns me is his lust to control the lives of other human beings; this passion is the one I truly despise. Everything else is a matter of supreme indifference to me, because compared to that particular hunger all others pale.
I hate to say it but he way more sex than I did.

yeah...he he he .... feature Obama, team roping!
My statement was ~ bringing in Bush is tangential, not even worthy of comparison. Fools want to go there. Bush is an established man, old enough to be Obama’s dad, with far more experience than Obama could dream of.
Best part of it all in comparison, Bush is a American, not muslim marxit lover of boys, alien to American culture, seeking to destroy it rather than embellish it.
Bush was a American president, not a anti American president.

There are people just as mean in my writers group.
I can prove to you that you don’t care either:
Could Obama’s college transcripts have anything in them that would make you vote for him next year? If your answer is no, then you don’t care either.
Perry is 61 years old, his college days were 40 years ago. Anybody using them for a reason to not vote for him wasn’t going to vote for him anyway.
I’ve smelled the coffee, and the coffee smells like a lot of pointless stupid pathetic whining. Nobody sane gives a rats ass about 30 and 40 year old college transcripts. they are completely and utterly pointless and anybody that thinks otherwise needs to stop obsessing on the leaves and get back to dealing with the freaking forest fire. If Obama’s transcripts were straight Fs or straight As doesn’t matter, neither possibility would make him any worse or better as a president. He’s a lousy president because he’s a socialist that doesn’t believe in American power, not because of his grade 30 freaking years ago.
I know exactly what I’m talking about. Yes we know more about presidents who died 175 years ago than we know about ANY president in the TV era. TV changed how campaigns work. Long treatises for analysis were replaced by soundbites and slogans. The Obama situation is no different than anybody in the post Kennedy era. We don’t know a damn thing about our presidents anymore, it’s been that way for 50 years, nice that you finally noticed.
Tell me about it. A lot of what goes on in writer’s groups is people taking out their lack of publishing success on others, They hit them hard over every little thing, not because there’s any real problem with the writing/fiction, but as a way of asserting superiority. Iow, it’s how they ‘prove’ how good they are. It’s very unprofessional and unproductive—as well as just plain old downright mean.
I haven't noticed it, because it isn't true. You will find four or five of George Bush's past girlfriends in about 2 minutes or less if you know what you're doing. We know Bush's grades and SAT scores, and we know his friends. We know more about the minutiae of his military service than we know about John Kennedy's, or George Washington's.
What you're claiming is simply false.
You’re right: it was more likely that it was Randolph; - not TJ himself.
LOL. You seem to be missing the point, maybe intentionally. It has nothing to do with you or me who will vote against Obama regardless. Obama won 69 million votes the last time, the most ever received by a Presidential candidate. We must cut into that number if we want to win in 2012.
What if Obama's transcripts at Occidental and Columbia show that he was not a very good student? This punctures the myth of his superior intellect. What if it shows that he was registered as a foreign student? And if his grades were poor, how did he gain admission into Harvard several years after he left Columbia? There is a reason why Obama hasn't released his transcripts. It undermines the crafted image his handlers have concocted.
Perry is 61 years old, his college days were 40 years ago. Anybody using them for a reason to not vote for him wasn’t going to vote for him anyway.
Your reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. You seem to be unable to comprehend that part of the politics of personal destruction is to build a narrative that will create the desired impression. The MSM and the Dems want to portray Perry as an intellectual lightweight whose pronouncements on the economy, manmade global warming, etc. should be taken with a grain of salt. His school transcripts just reinforce the narrative. They are just part of the overall picture they are trying to paint. Get it?

Nope, you don't get it.
Re: “I wonder how long it will take the APA to remove that from the list of Psychotic Delusion Disorders?”
On November 29, 2010, the American Psychological Association (APA), cancelled Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Obama can’t be tagged with a personality disorder. It wouldn’t be politically correct. So the APA simply remove NPD from the list. Problem solved. Long live Caesar!

But it is true. And it’s not just TV’s fault. Kennedy’s campaign organizer figured out that getting somebody to switch their vote is a 2 step process, first you convince them to not vote for the other guy, then you convince them to vote for yours, and (and this is the part that really sucks) you don’t actually need to do step 2. He figured out that if you convinced enough people to not vote for the other guy you can win. At this point the slander campaign ruled.
99% of what you find out about a candidate anymore you find out from his opponent, candidates don’t tell you about themselves, they tell you about the other guy. All that stuff you’re talking about for Bush is all innuendo and rumor from his opponents, most of it unsubstantiated, probably a lot of it lies. It was pointless and stupid then, and having that info about Obie would be just as pointless and stupid.
In a nation of 320 million Obama got 69 million votes, it’s actually a pretty pathetic number if you think about it.
Getting his transcripts won’t change that number. Normal people don’t give a crap about somebody’s grades from 30 years ago. They just don’t care. And they shouldn’t because it’s a stupid thing to worry about. All anybody has to do to puncture the myth of his intellect is listen to 5 minutes of him talking, anybody that can do that and still think they guy can tie his own shoes isn’t going to change their mind if his grades are published.
I understand the politics of personal destruction very well, I understand that they’re evil and they’re a large part of why we’re in this mess, a large part of why our presidential candidates have pretty much all sucked for 50 years. And most importantly I understand that playing into just makes the situation worse. Get it? You are part of the problem.
I get it fine. You’re playing they’re game. You want things to work the way that got Kennedy, and LBJ, and Carter, and Clinton, and Obama elected. Your way has destroyed this country for 50 years. Even when we managed to sneak in a decent president using your way they had to put up with a hostile congress that existed thanks to doing it your way. What you need to get is that this way sucks. That if 30 year old college transcripts matter we’ve already lost. That if ex-girlfriends are an actual issue who wins next November is meaningless because we’ll still be stuck with this suck politics of destruction that builds nothing. This country needs to BUILD itself, and we’re not going to do that by obsessing on idiotic crap for future smear campaigns against crappy candidates.
It is more about how he went to school than what he made. I am curious what the “genius of the left” scored, but most people who ask about the transcripts really would like to know if he attended as a “foreign” student or applied for aid as a disadvantaged Indonesian or something.
It is about whether he committed fraud.
Why don’t you hit post again just for good measure?
Who cares if he committed fraud 30 years ago. If “cheated on his SATs” is the best campaign point against him we can muster next year we deserve to lose.
