Meet the First Obama Girlfriend

It only took nearly six years for the media to begin vetting President Obama’s 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:

I haven’t read “The Waste Land” for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statements—Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time. Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this. Read his essay on Tradition and the Individual Talent, as well as Four Quartets,

Hey, where’s the BARF warning?

Not only did the bamster eat dog he dated them too!

[Hotlanta Mike]

I’m not buying any of it. You’d think she would have come forward quite a while ago.

‘Re-vetting wars: Obama’s girlfriends speak’

One of the foremost concerns of the Obama re-election effort is the promised re-vetting of Obama, playing off the widespread perception that the media utterly failed to investigate the reality beneath the highly manufactured identity peddled in 2008. Thus, there is a need to preemptively define the process, creating a safer version of re-vetting than the Breitbart-is-here blogosphere threatens.

Does anybody know how many of these “friends” are still alive, and where they are today?

Chandoo brothers, Hamid [Obama bundlers]

See also post 222, 286, and 290, 304 on same thread re activities of Siddiqi and other Obama associates from Obama's early days. [TOO MANY POSTS TO MENTION: must review this thread]:

BTW: That is also the thread/post that started it all with the fingers in the Sohale Siddiqi/Obama photo.

Another early thread worthy of note:

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA ( But heck, we're all just racist birthers...yea right! )

Posted one week later than previously mentioned thread. Again, too many posts of note. Must skim through to appreciate.

ps: Thummalapally attended Obama's wedding and is also is listed as a top fundraiser on the campaign Web site. See also post 311.

Barack Obama's Missing Girlfriends

[Pigsley]

Yep, the know hes a Commie...but they also know he’s a Nancyboy...THAT is what they are trying to cover up. Drip...drip...drip...it’s coming out anyway.

I found these pictures here

The marking along the top of tree line I did indicates that the trees all grew at approx the same rate, meaning they are the same type of tree.

Tree growth varies greatly with some growing up to 3-4 feet per year. Most however are 1 - 1 1/2 feet per year.

So I have estimated the story height of the Park Plaza of 12-15 feet. Meaning these trees grew about 24-30 feet from the time the BHO pic was taken to 4/3/2011 when the other pic was taken.

From 1982 to 4/3/2011 is approx 29 years.

So it would appear that the pic with Zippo in it was taken around the time he was supposed to be at Columbia. We just don't know who is wearing that jacket.

An observant freeper once commented that the floating hand looked like Stanley Armour’s other hand, inverted.

[Fred Nerks]

Wasn't he supposed to be an 'accountant' in the announcement of their marriage? The marriage was 1988 iirc.

This one, Mohamed Moustafa, received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer and Systems Engineering from Ain Shams University (ASU), Cairo, Egypt, in 1993 and 1997 doesn't give his age...possibly the same but doubtful imo.

[P.O.E.]

Interesting that most of the pictures in the “Barack’s Missing Girlfriends” thread have been removed from Photobucket or other sources - all I get is error messages or the red x

[Fred Nerks]

from your link:

...One quote from Miss Cook’s diary relates their intimate bedroom encounters this way: “I open the door, that Barack keeps closed, to his room, and enter into a warm, private space pervaded by a mixture of smells that so strongly speak of his presence, his liveliness, his habits—running sweat, Brut spray deodorant, smoking, eating raisins, sleeping, breathing.” The poetic commas are all her’s by the way....

funny that, they are living together and he has his own room? Well, it could have been him, didn't Mookie and the girls say he smells?

[Fred Nerks]

You’re not wrong, right now the only thing that’s real is the jacket...I think it first appeared in Central Park where it looked new. Then it shows up in Kenya in that photograph in which he is standing forward of the two Luo he claims are half-brothers...and now we see it again in an image beside Geneveive Cook, BUT IT’S NOT HIS HEAD!

Hmmm...you don’t think they would deliberately do that - enlarge his head and put it back on his shoulders just to give us something to do...? Why? Because it keeps us focused on the Geneveive story, and takes attention away from the Reggie Love fiasco that’s breaking in the background?

[Fred Nerks]

I think the height is fine, it’s the head that’s far too large.

[Fred Nerks]

I think the height is fine, it’s the head that’s far too large. Where’s his neck?

[RummyChick]

The headline said accountant.

What is posted in the newspaper could be irrelevant.

It appears the Stepfather is of the family that was protected by Kennedy by doing an end run around the Senate. The one targeted by McCarthy.

It’s possible her husband was an accountant and then went for another degree.

It is also possible he had nothing to do with accounting and that was just the front.

I am sure there are many people with that name in Egypt.

[Fred Nerks]

photographs supposedly taken on the same day...same clothes.

[little jeremiah]

Either they’re getting really poor photoshoppers, and/or trying to do things in a big hurry, and/or trying to disctract us as you say. I think they’re rushing and getting a bit desperate.

[little jeremiah]

Which year were these photos supposedly taken in Kenya? If he really went there, these people all knew he was a fraud. Money must have been widely distributed.

[Fred Nerks]

His head is so large it’s grotesque, he doesn’t have a neck...yes, I do believe he was in Central Park on his own, wearing the same jacket and ring, he is shown sitting on Bow Bridge with the Plaza Hotel and a lake in the background, he was inserted between the Dubhams on the bench...and yes, in Kenya the jacket does look somewhat older, and the full Kenya group is posted now, it’s still on the web, see Google ‘Obama in Kenya’

[Fred Nerks]

I think you might agree this issue is a little more complicated than the simple age of a jacket, or how long you have been wearing yours.

[thouworm]

Good find! Looks promising.

Has anyone associated “received a master’s degree in education from the Bank Street College of Education” ...with Bill Ayers? Do the dates fit?

Haven’t found a graduation date for her.

AYERS: received his master’s degree in 1984. Staying on there, he worked as an instructor while working on a doctorate in curriculum and teaching, which he completed in 1987.
