People Are Freaking Out Over Obama Supposedly Admitting He Made Up His Ex-Girlfriend

For the sake of compression, let's look at this passage from Barack Obama's "Dreams from My Father":


“For the sake of compression, some of the characters that appear are composites of people, I’ve known, and some events appear out of precise chronology. With the exception of my family and a handful of public figures, the names of most characters have been changed for the sake of privacy.”


Go find it. It's on Page XVII, everyone.


Now, this is a story today because Vanity Fair published an excerpt of David Maraniss' forthcoming biography of Obama, entitled "Barack Obama: The Story."


In it, Maraniss explains how one of Obama's recollections in his memoir — about visiting an ex-girlfriend's family in Norfolk, Conn. and some conclusions he drew from it about the differences in their background — led to a differing account and remembrance from an ex-girlfriend, Genevieve Cook.

i read the entire story yesterday on vanity fair. very long piece and very telling to say the least.

i found it weird when this girlfriend (whatever) told obama she loved him and he said thanks.

why is this info "coming out" now? none of this makes sense to me; in fact i find all of it rather bizarre. it's just filled with more lies and half truths. par for the course for obama. so sad...

You might want to google "obama's gay lover murdered". One article titled "All 3 Homosexual Members Of Obama’s Trinity Church Murdered Within 6 Weeks". Being a closet queen could be the reason for his intentional "girlfriend" misinformation. Men and dope were staples in Barry Sorento/Obama's life prior to being President.

There has never been a woman come forward to say that she dated Obama However Larry Sinclair did admit to an affair with Obama.
