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,

Definitely a stretch to call this a Photoshop.

You are only on post #43 - wait until you hit post #103!!!

“He could not be of one place”....this sounds like it could have come from the Bible talking about Jesus. The media worships this guy. If he’s not the anti-christ he sured missed a damn good chance.

Obummer explains Eliot's poetry to his girlfriend...."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....."

Leni explains Obummer's writing style to Freepers....."It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents - except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness....."

Your daughter is correct about the different light directions — and his head is almost 20% larger scale than hers.

[Terry Mross]

Did Maraniss say he interviewed these women? Did she give him the letter? Does he have a copy of it in the book? If Maraniss saw the letters she wrote to him that means he kept the letters. Show me copies.

[Revolting cat!]

That was then, here she is now!

Isn’t zero left handed?

Don’t southpaws wear their watches on the right wrist?

[JennysCool]

Yup. As was posted on an earlier "Obama Photoshop" thread:

Notice his "straight from the ground" arm. He must have some of Stretch Armstrong's DNA.

The camera recognizes the messiah in him and makes him crisper than anyone else in the photo.

Hand too dark/small.

Many more examples on this thread:

And look at his left hand, especially at the wrist. It is out of proportion with the shoulder. Even the watch is tiny, as if someone didn’t resize the arm area properly.

[Iron Munro]

Oh! I love those "Find-The-Commie" photos!

[JennysCool]

See #103 for the whole effect, Ralph. Unbelievable.

[Covenantor]

Ummm... His ears. They're flat against his skull. Remember during the campaign Obama telling the media not to talk about his head flaps. Where's Dumbo?

[rabidralph]

I sent the photo off to Photoshop Disasters. I'm sure they won't publish it. It seems to be the one topic they won't touch.

[libertarian27]

Ya’ know, they’ve been photoshopping his head too big for years - maybe they are just saying ‘screw it’ and running with his big-azz head through all of these forays.

I remember that Harvard photoshop - why on earth isn’t anyone in the MSM picking up on this?...ya’ I know, getting sick of answering my own question....again.....

Here’s a picture of Obama wearing a watch on his left wrist.

I never noticed the arm coming up from the ground in ‘08! And I was looking right at it.
