A new tell-all book is making some scandalous
revelations about the former president of the United States, Barack
Obama.
In the Book, Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, which was
written by Pulitzer-prize winning biographer David Garrow, it was
revealed that Obama cheated on Michelle while they were still dating,
that he considered having a gay relationship with one of his professors
in school, had passionate sex with fellow students and took cocaine.
Though Barack had already admitted in his memoir to trying the drug in
his teens, the new tell-all claims Barack’s memoir was inaccurate.
book, which is being described as an authoritative new biography of the
ex-president, reveals that before Michelle, Barack had an Australian
girlfriend named Genevieve Cook and they had sex on their first date.
Obama and Cook met on New Year’s eve in 1983 when he was 22 and she was
25. At the time, he was a journalist on a financial trade magazine. She
visited him at his apartment in Manhattan which he shared with two
others and he made her dinner, after which they had sex and she spent
the night. She was so impressed with his passionate love making that she
wrote him a romantic poem with the lines:
“B. That’s for you. F’s for all the f***ing that we do.”
Cook
also claimed in a private her memoir she wrote that they would smoke
pot at parties. She claimed he would take cocaine with friends Hasan
Chandoo, Imad Hussain and Sohale Siddiqi at Occidental College, Los
Angeles, but nowhere near as much as the others.
“For every five lines that somebody did, he would have done half.”
The
1,078-page biography also revealed that Obama dated another white lady
called Sheila Miyoshi Jager and he proposed to her twice. He later met
Michelle when he went to Law School but continued to see Jager. Jager,
now 53 and the associate professor and director of the East Asian
programme at Oberlin College in Ohio, said she “felt bad” because they
were still seeing each other for the first year of his relationship with
future First Lady Michelle.
The close relationship between Obama
and his former openly gay professor, Lawrence Goldyn, was also detailed
in the book. The former president stayed close to the assistant
professor and he was even once pictured with him in the Oval Office. The
book disclosed that Obama considered going into a relationship with the
professor after they developed a friendship beyond the classroom and
that Goldyn made a huge impact on Obama.
“Obama wrote somewhat
elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and
considered gayness but ultimately decided that a same-sex relationship
would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the
opposite sex.”
Obama is yet to respond to the allegations or acknowledge the book which will be released on the 9th of May.
