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:
I havent read The Waste Land for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statementsEliot 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,

Maraniss is the new Bill Ayers adding more fiction to the man called Obama.
Half his face is dark, meaning that the source is from slightly behind his right ear, yet the shadow on her face obscures her features to a much lesser degree on the same side, although they should have the same shadow.

Disagree. Look at it again. The reason the shadow is different is because her head is at a different angle. His face is directly toward the camera, so the shadow line runs down the center of his face. Her face is angled both down and toward him, resulting in a different-looking shadow . . . but if you compare the lines of the actual shadow, not where it falls on their faces, it seems to be the same.
Not saying this couldn’t be a Photoshop. I don’t know enough to say for certain. But take a look again and you’ll see that the shadows on their faces are *not* actually different.
It reads like something Ignatius Reilly would write to Myrna.....

OMG, yes!!! Ding ding ding! On the nose!
This girl’s diary on
Saturday, February 25 The sexual warmth is definitely therebut the rest of it has sharp edges and Im finding it all unsettling and finding myself wanting to withdraw from it all. I have to admit that I am feeling anger at him for some reason, multi-stranded reasons.
His warmth can be deceptive. Tho he speaks sweet words and can be open and trusting, there is also that coolnessand I begin to have an inkling of some things about him that could get to me.
And this is 25 years ago!
Good catch. I wonder why Harvard-educated Shapiro did not pick up on that.
I've read that Obama's mother spent 5 years in Pakistan working for the Ford Foundation. May be true...but I haven't yet found convincing proof.
She looks like Sandra Fluke
In the 80s she worked with tax Cheat Geithner’s father in Indonesia with the FORD Foundation’s microfinance program.
What does that mean?
I’m not a photo shop expert. . .but it does look like his chin is in his chest.
It is the alpha and the omega, it is the potato and the knish, it is the woop and and the hoop. It just is... uh... so....... gay.
I don’t see that.
Why can you see her right ear?
No matter where you move the light source, he should not be in that much shadow.
Exactly what I thought. I’ll have to look up pics of him and see which arm he wears a watch on
oops
Most likely just a friend or a dyke friend. NO horny young male would even consider writing likw that with the expectation of getting laid! It is just too lame!
If, in fact he wrote this crap, which I doubt, it was definitely not to a girlfriend. Maybe some fool he was trying to impress, but not a girlfriend!
Once again, it's the mistakes they make that are most revealing. He was also shown wearing the same jacket in the Central Park fake:
Some in the UN are already and have been calling for Obama to be President there......this is out now for the benifit of the International Love Feast they’re pushing for Obama.
Good grief I wish he and his wife would just go back to Chicago and play house there.....but his apserations are for an International position....you can bet on it.
They need to do it again and include a neck this time.
