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,

Fred, thanks for all your pings and mail. I stopped posting about 23 days ago and am just trying to catch up on letting people know I wasn’t ignoring them, lol.

Remember that one of Rezko, who arranged the purchase of the Obama house, first jobs was handling the boxer Cassius Clay for Louis FERRETCON.

Obama Lived 1/2 Mile From Bill Ayers' College, May Have Shared Apartment

Billy Boy has always been more than just some guy in the neighborhood. If only we could read the history books 50 years from now.

Not many guys were rings on their left fourth fingers at that age but Hussein did. If that’s his hand, then it’s probably the same ring he wears today that many have mistaken as a wedding ring.

The Record employed the services of Frank Marshall Davis almost immediately upon his arrival in Hawaii. ILWU Chief Jack Hall and Honolulu Record editor Ariyoshi were among the Honolulu Seven defendants identified as key leaders of the Communist Party in Hawaii and convicted in 1953 of “conspiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of the government by force and violence.”

Today, HI newspapers claim, unlike newspapers across the country, they don't keep their old original publications.

Regarding the "too many fingers couch" picture - see that dark thing on the floor on the right border directly across from the "TWO" box? Is that the same fertility statue or whatever that ugly thing is on the table in this pic? It looks like the same bent leg.

Also, what is that floral print thing above the dark object?

Same rug and same low plant stand but different room and different plant. Just an observation.

this clown claims he has hundreds of copies of the commie paper The Record which contains the articles written by FMD.
There’s some site on the web has copies of FMD’s articles, I didn’t keep the link.

"Today, HI newspapers claim, unlike newspapers across the country, they don't keep their old original publications."

Yeah, too bad about that. Original paper copies would have been very helpful in vetting the birth announcements.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

I’m not seeing what you are, I had to go to post 277 and there is a plant stand on the far right with large plant leaves. My picture is too dark to make it out.

[Fred Nerks]

Same rug, got to be the same apartment, been thinking about Siddiqi’s funny fingers, I think he’s actually holding a small ashtray on his knee, and that’s what makes it look like he’s got too many fingers.

[Fred Nerks]

btw, the caption under zero and Siddiqi is misleading, Phil Boerner is the fellow in the other image standing on his own.

thanks, I thought that was the name of the theatre, but wasn’t sure...they have a new layout without his name - I can’t get Wayback to open the archive right now, will try again later.

Coming late to the conversation about the color of Obama’s hands in the photo with his white girlfriend: Obviously, it’s autumn. People ordinarily have darker hands in autumn than other times of the year, because they’ve been in the sun all summer. If they drive, their hands are even darker. His hands look the same color as hers. Yet their faces, also in the sunlight, don’t look the same hue. His hands ought to be at least a few shades darker than hers.
