LOL!

I am so glad he didn't borrow any of his wife's clothes...He has more style than she does../sarcasm

The journals were obtained by David Maraniss of The Washington Post, whose biography, “Barack Obama: The Story,” will be published next ...

When Mr. Obama met Ms. Cook, Mr. Maraniss wrote, she “engaged him in the deepest romantic relationship of his young life.” Her journal entries described a long effort to understand Mr. Obama that eventually failed when they broke up.

“How is he so old already, at the age of 22?” she wrote. “I have to recognize (despite play of wry and mocking smile on lips) that I find his thereness very threatening.” She added, “Distance, distance, distance, and wariness.”

Oh!!! Oh!!!! Me!!! Me!!!!! (waving raised hand furiously)

This has GOT to be getting put out there in anticipation of Sheriff Arpaio’s upcoming DUMP. (With anyone else, it would be a news release but with BO and his wife, DUMP is appropriate.)

Thanks, Jedidah.

Pish posh. Michelle is his beard, he never had a girlfriend.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Where the blazes did Ayers pull this carp from? Talk about timing. Right in the middle of a campaign where he's being questioned about his leanings. Uh, huh, right. I ain't buying it. What sane person keeps these things for 30-40 years? Surely these (fictitious) women have married and had kids by now and I'm supposed to believe they've kept everything from their oh so special fling with such a god whom them KNEW would rise to such heights (hey, that's the only reason they'd keep such) and their husbands are perfectly fine with this? Not one but TWO!!! Suuuure, and I have a bridge for sale. Paging, Larry...

I think they are just trying to establish that he was actually in-country during the period of time in question.

Could be. Two birds, one stone.

Thread re: Politico piece on 0 admitting that the Genevieve girlfriend was a “composite.”

Composite girlfriends and dogs for supper.

The jokes just write themselves.

Girlfriend #2 is cuter and probably much nicer than the wife.

From the Chicago Sun Times, November 13, 2008: Ayers: Obama was 'family friend'

Aw, how Bill's feelings must have been hurt when he considered Hussein a family friend only to be stabbed in the back when Hussein blew him off as just some guy in the neighborhood.

Interesting read...what a couple loosers!...and to think this creep is a Professor teaching our youth today...unfortunately there are more of his type in our Institutes of learning with similar or same mindset.

As for yet another “feel goodie” book......Obama can’t run on his record...one of his tactics is always to play on the ‘emotions’ of the public. Get them to have “feel goodie” moments about him. The youth will always fall for it....and those who though have aged to adult-hood...their minds remain as a child still living in their own dream world of make believe.

[melancholy]

Taking this with a big grain of salt, but it’s interesting. Perhaps an effort to cover up his “alternate” lifestyle in an election year?

Absolutely! Without the feared and avoided "I'm not 0h0m0," which would definitely land him in hot water with his community, the lately elevated h0m0sexuals! Something he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole that he would rather sit on!

So, 0h0m0 who wrote 17 negations in one paragraph was capable of writing these letters. What a tall campaign story!

[philman_36]

My immediate question to myself...how did she get the letters when he's so distant from all of his relatives on his Father's side?
He's so distant from them that he apparently didn't even know of @his kin who were here illegally.

[philman_36]

Oops...how did she get the letters and diaries?

And thought author was sister...sister has "children's book" out and thought it was hers.

[PghBaldy]

Funny these so-called girlfriends have not appeared before. I don’t believe any of this.

[azishot]

The first love affair detailed in the book is with Alex McNear, who was at the time an Occidental University student and literary magazine editor.

ALEX???? I want to see a picture. (Or maybe not.)

[philman_36]

Interesting what's written across the pond...

@Barack Obama's ex-girlfriends speak of his 'sexual warmth'
Ms Cook “engaged [Mr Obama] in the deepest romantic relationship of his young life,” Maraniss writes, but they separated in 1985. Reflecting on the “emotional scarring” that made him hard to get close to, she wrote at the time: “I guess I hoped time would change things, and he’d let go and 'fall in love’ with me”.
And Ms McNear...

[philman_36]

@"Moments trip gently along" for Obama, whose "feet hum over the dry walks," in his letter to his NY girlfriend Alex McNear.
...McNear, who was a co-editor of a literary magazine ("Feast") ...

@FEAST
Feast is Occidental College’s Arts and Literary Review, publishing student work selected by the ECLS contest and by student editors.

Sounds like the Zero team is afraid more evidence of homo-hood is going to surface.

I think they are just trying to establish that he was actually in-country during the period of time in question.

Hmm, another angle. Very possible!
