Book cites journals of Obama's ex-girlfriend

One of the down sides of having biographies written about you: Writers are likely to track down your ex-girlfriends. Author David Maraniss, whose biography of the young Barack Obama comes out next month, writes of Genevieve Cook, who knew Obama at Columbia University in the mid-1980s -- and, it turns out, kept a journal with many mentions of the ...

In March, 120,000 jobs were created, while more than 330,000 people dropped out of the workforce. For self-serving reasons, the Obama administration spins this as good news.

Maraniss wrote of Cook: "In Barack Obama she had found a kindred soul, dislocated"

Dislocated?

Obama Plays the Race Card again. This time in his twisted "composite girlfriend" Lie


Though Dreams From My Father is an autobiography, and hence non-fiction, Obama makes no mention of this "compression," nor is their any note by the publisher, Broadway Books. In fact, Obama only acknowledged the "compression" after Maraniss learned that Cook had no recollection of some of the events at which Obama said she was present.

"In Dreams from My Father, Obama chose to emphasize a racial chasm that unavoidably separated him from the woman he described as his New York girlfriend."

Barack Obama's father: Bigamist, drunk and wife-beater


Shortly after being elected first black president of Harvard Law Review, Barack Obama signed a deal to write a memoir of his life. Remarkably literate, given it was written so young, the book revolves around his quest for identity as the child of a white teenage mother and an African father who walked out when he was just two.

Despite titling it Dreams From My Father, the absent parent was little more than a shadow.‘After a week of my father in the flesh, I had decided that I preferred his more distant image,’ reflected Barack Obama on the short time they spent together in his boyhood.

‘If my father hadn’t exactly disappointed me, he remained something unknown, something volatile and vaguely threatening.’

Well, he is unknown no longer. He has been bought to life in a compelling biography by American journalist Sally H. Jacobs. And what a vile man he turns out to have been: a drunken, wife-beating, bribe-taking bigamist of extreme arrogance, who spent much of his life propping up bars while bemoaning his fate and running down rivals.

His nickname was Double-Double after the way he liked his whisky. He was a fantasist, who told self-aggrandising stories and impersonated his bosses.

He married four times and had seven or nine children, depending who you listened to. And he was such a brazen womaniser he even bought mistresses home when his latest wife was asleep, loudly demanding the marital bed for his conquests.

Little wonder he turned out such a disappointment to the boy who, against all odds, went on to become President of the United States. Not least since they shared so much, including formidable intellect that took them to Harvard University, fierce ambition and the ability to turn on the charm.

But one became leader of the free world, the other ended up a loser, crippled in car accidents caused by drink-driving and corroded by jealousy.

The young Barack had a lucky escape. His unfortunate siblings in Nairobi returned home from school each day in fear, growing increasingly nervous as they awaited their father’s late-night return.

‘When he got there he would probably be drunk,’ said one.‘And then the light would go on and you would hear thuds and shouts and my mother’s voice rising and crying and screaming.’

"All this shows is that Obama had a lot of emotional baggage, but baggage that most of us don't have. Father who was 1/4 black African and 3/4 Arab, a 100% white mother, being dragged around the world. Going to Islamic schools. That's a lot to think about."

"However, what happened back then has nothing to do with what will be needed in the next four years and we do not need another four years of BHO. The country cannot take it. We will end up like Greece, in total financial freefall, riots in the streets, and a 2nd rate country. All you have to do is look at the track record for the last 3 years. And it doesn't matter what happened in all of the years before that. He was handed the reins and had choices to make. From the standpoint of our finances, he made all bad ones. I don't care about shooting Osama or a retreat from Afghanistan. Ancient history. If he keeps up his hate of the Constitution and his high spending ways, we are doomed."

Of course she will be branded a liar, because any time you say anything bad about the President you are a liar, and a racist. It doesn't matter any longer, because Americans know when they are better off.

She better be careful, they will have her 'breitbarted' to keep her quiet.

The journals of the girlfriend of a 22 year old Barack Obama that basically confirms what he said about himself in his own book about the struggles of self-identity and his place in life… what every normal 22 years old goes through.

I love the way these silly right-wing tea-baggers grasp at anything they hope will help prevent the inevitable… a second term for our Osama-killing President.

When I was 22, I wasn't smoking pot and hanging around hippie coffee shops talking about how the man was keeping my people down, and hanging around the other commies at harvard.

Seems to be a justification for disallowing 18 to 22 year olds access to voting.

IT IS EVERY PERSON'S FREEDOM Rights OF THINKING accordingly that not every person in office (for example, Hitler) is simply a commander-in-chief because the position of such person in office undertakes and acts upon, besides having no such abiity, talent and knowledge, as false recognition would do more harms than good.

There may be some who would call Obama as chief.

However, within a democracy of free thinking people, there are a lot of people who don't think so that Obama is a commander at all, ranging from typically in the matter of distortion and falsification about his Bin Laden story, to his stand in Afghanistan.

[Cat74]

If Obama ade up his girl friend for his book, what else did he make up? How about, everything. He made up where he was born, his Selective service number, and his stolen Social security card. Not bad for a kid from Africa.

Where does Vera Baker fit in all of this?
