Before Barack Obama ever met his wife, Michelle, at her Chicago law firm, the future 44th president of the United States asked another woman to marry him in 1986—while the two were visiting her parents' home, a new biography claims.
“Rising Star,” which is written by David J. Garrow, was reviewed Tuesday in The Washington Post. The review said, "Garrow portrays Obama as a man who ruthlessly compartmentalized his existence; who believed early on that he was fated for greatness; and who made emotional sacrifices in the pursuit of a goal that must have seemed unlikely to everyone but him."
According to the review, Sheila Miyoshii Jager, his love interest, refused his advances at the time because her mother said she was too young. She was 23 and Obama was 25.
The two continued to see each other, but Jager told Garrow that shortly after the proposal, Obama became more ambitious.
“I remember very specifically that by 1987, about a year into our relationship, he already had his sights on becoming president,” she said, according to the book. She told Garrow that Obama’s “resolution of his black identity was directly linked to his decision to pursue a political career,” according to the review.
Jager is of Dutch and Japanese ancestry. The review pointed out that Obama-- who was a community organizer at the time-- was eyeing a political run for mayor of Chicago or a U.S. Senator. The review pointed out another book that said at the time, it could be seen as a political liablity for a black politican in the area to have a wife that was not African-American.

What. And this is to prove he’s straight?
I refuse to believe Obama set out to become President on his own.
There are puppet masters that have been grooming him for decades. He is book-smart and articulate, but way too stupid to have done it on his own. The fact that Bill Ayers wrote his first book shows how far back they have been setting the stage for him.
LOL, as I was reading, I thought of Geraldine, also. GMTA
woman dodged a really bad bullet
What? This woman didn’t want a sham marriage?
Same here. That's total BS that in 1987 he decided he wanted to be President one day. We'll never know what is or is not real about his past, his school records, his medical records, his classroom when he was teaching Constitutional Law, etc, etc. Funny how, for a relatively young guy, you don't hear of people in Chi-town with any "I knew him when" stories.
Fake News. His tastes didn’t run that way. He married Michelle because his handlers wanted him to.
I was sure it was going to be Ru Paul
No, she chose wisely.
He also went to Jeremiah Wright’s hate rallies because he was told by his handlers that he should be associated with a Christian church.
“Book: Barack Obama asked woman to marry him before meeting Michelle”
Nope, no sale.
It’s far too late to try to promote the Fraud as a heterosexual and Michael as a woman.
Mama could tell something was queer about Obama and his rhetoric.
Penny Pritzker holds the key. She was planning Obama as a future president while he was still on the Chicago streets.
There has to be connections from Pritzker to Vernon Jarrett, Khalid al-Mansour and Saudi Prince Alwaleed (of Fox News), all of whom manufactured President Obama.
The lesson for young girls: listen to Mom.
Of course, Mom was no doubt speaking in Mother's Code when she told this 23-year-old she was too young to marry.
Oh please do tell, and or link. I remember "Penny" getting Sarah Palin dis-invited to join a group of Jewish Women protest Achmood-Wachmadinanutjob from Iran coming to the UN in 08'. I always thought she was a huge power player, I'd love to see the details...
Too pretty for him.
