It only took nearly six years for the media to begin vetting President Obamas past.
Today, Vanity Fair released an excerpt from a new biography of Barack Obama by David Maraniss. The excerpt discusses Barack Obama's first love affair, with a white Australian woman named Genevieve Cook. It's a telling examination of who Obama was as a young man -- and it shows a self-absorbed "internationalist" with delusions of grandeur.

The book itself sounds like an ode to Obama. Maraniss writes, At age 20, Obama was a man of the world He could not be of one place, rooted and provincial. No, says Maraniss, this was a broadminded young man who knew the ways of different cultures better than he knew himself.
When he first moved to New York, he was in the midst of an affair with Alexandra McNear, a girl from Occidental. They exchanged a series of purple letters with one another turgid missives from overfevered young minds. Here, for example, is tendentious Obama explaining poetry to his young girlfriend:

Look at their hands and the cups. Obama’s hand looks unnatural, like a claw. He is holding the cup in a weird way. And his hand is white.
Look at the shadow Obama’s cop makes on her sweater. It doesn't look right and it is not consistent with the light source on her head and face.
Just plain freaky!
bttt
Even more obvious in the non-cropped version.
How stupid do they think people are??
The shadow of the cup Obama is holding shows the angle of the light source. Given that, the shadows on his face and that of the girl is wrong.
Where is the photo from? It’s not at the Breitbart link.
Pinging you to my post #146.
Not only that, it isn’t anywhere that TinEye can find it (same goes with the cropped version).
