It's interesting that not only does Barack Obama need continued vetting, but
so do his biographers. The culprit is the same: the liberal bias that
dutifully protects Obama like white knights guarding the king's castle,
shamelessly tossing journalistic objectivity right out the window. As Sean
Hannity likes to say, when it comes to Obama's background, it has fallen to
us conservatives to do the job that the mainstream "Obama-mania media"
plainly refuses to do.

发帖数: 29846 | 2 Ever since the 2008 campaign, many voters, and some journalists too, have
felt they know Barack Obama's life story. In fact, the story they know is
the one Obama told them.
Obama's first memoir, "Dreams from My Father," published in 1995, has become
the semi-official record of his life. But it is not the complete record of
his life. It's partially fictionalized, with composite characters that Obama
has always acknowledged were created to make the story read better. It
focuses on a few themes Oba... 阅读全帖 |

WASHINGTON
ON Friday night, the nation’s capital was under a tornado watch. And that
was the best thing that happened to the White House all week.
As the president was being slapped by Mitt Romney for being too weak on
national security, he was being rapped by a Times editorial for being too
aggressive on national security.
A Times article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane revealed that the liberal law
professor who campaigned against torture and t... 阅读全帖 |

结果八马亮出自传出版的一个fine print，说书里人物可能是composite figure，八马
可以把经历过的事情汇集到一个人身上写，所以O8仍然伟大光荣正确。

发帖数: 6571 | 5 Obama provides some information on his Islamic background in his two books,
Dreams and The Audacity of Hope (2006). In 2007, when Hillary Clinton was
still the favored Democratic candidate for president, a number of reporters
dug up information about Obama's time in Indonesia. Obama's statements as
president have provided important insights into his mentality. The major
biographies of Obama devote little attention to this topic, both the
friendly ones (such as those by David Maraniss, David Mend... 阅读全帖 |

The Obama Record: The most frightening aspect of this president may not be
his radical ideology but his rank dishonesty in selling that ideology. Now
he's been caught lying about family racism.
In "Dreams from My Father," his 1995 memoir, Obama used the story of his
paternal grandfather's imprisonment and torture at the hands of British
colonists in Kenya as an example of white cruelty. He claimed Hussein
Onyango Obama was unjustly detained for six months before bei... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 29846 | 7 The shroud over President Barack Obama’s college records — recently
spotlighted by Donald Trump’s $5 million challenge — is prompting
Americans to share what they’ve got, and The Daily Caller is getting its
share of leads, including one story that the president scored a GPA of only
2.6 at Columbia University.
The 2.6 grade can’t be confirmed, is contradicted by some evidence, and it
doesn’t say anything about the courses, professors and associations Obama
was immersed in during his two-year stay... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 61690 | 8 【多维新闻】人人年少时都会有一段浪漫情事，奥巴马自然也不例外。日前，奥巴马在
20多岁时结交的两名女友公开了与奥巴马的恋爱日记及奥巴马所写情书，深情回忆这位
万人迷年轻时既带着“性热情”，又冷酷成熟、难以接近。
据英国《每日电讯报》5月2日报道，库克（Genevieve Cook）和迈克尼尔（Alex
McNear）是奥巴马20世纪80年代早期在纽约的两位女友。近日，她们将自己珍藏的与奥
巴马的恋爱日记及奥巴马所写情书交给了正在为奥巴马撰写传记的普利策奖获得者、著
名作者玛兰妮斯（David Maraniss）。
报道称，这些恋爱日记和情书勾勒出一位严肃、认真的年轻人形象，在纽约这个国际大
教市中艰难寻找自己的种族认同感及社会位置。在1984年一份日记中，库克写道，在与
奥巴马的恋爱中，“性的热情毫无疑问是有的，但是，其余的部分全带着尖锐的棱角。”
她说，她常对奥巴马感觉很愤怒，因为他的那些热情常“带有欺骗性”，“虽然他嘴上
说着甜言蜜语，但是是很冷酷的。”
库克1983年与她昵称为“巴拉儿”的奥巴马相识。他们相遇在曼哈顿东村区（East
Village）的圣诞舞会上。当时他们在厨房被... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 29846 | 9 美国总统奥巴马首次访问中国，由于他有一个已在中国深圳住了七年、娶了中国妻子的
同父异母弟弟，加上这个弟弟刚好这时在美国出版自传体小说《从内罗毕到深圳》（内
罗毕是肯尼亚首都），于是奥巴马和这个弟弟的关系、他的盘根错节的家庭背景等，再
次引起人们的好奇和新一波关注。
其实去年美国总统大选时，奥巴马的父母，他本人的成长背景等，都成为选战话题。但
由于美国主流媒体基本左倾，甚至成为奥巴马的啦啦队，所以这些“话题”没有成为报
道重点。只有《华盛顿邮报》的资深编辑、普利策奖得主马拉尼斯（David Maraniss）
写了五篇对奥巴马身世的系列调查报道，非常详细地勾画出奥巴马的家庭背景和思想形

五十年代末，在美国教会的赞助下，奥巴马的父亲从肯尼亚来到夏威夷大学学习。他当
时还上了报纸，因为他是第一个到美国留学的肯尼亚人。当地人回忆说，奥巴马的父亲
能言会道，既有主见，又善辩论，嗓音也浑厚，属于那种有“超凡魅力”（charisma）

girlfriend' was actually a composite character, based off of multiple
girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.
哈哈...
you know, maybe his father was actually a composite character too, based off
of multiple father candidates his mother run into in New York City or in
Chicago or in Hawaii...

So there's a new book about Obama out and it's quite revealing... but will
America care?
The website BuzzFeed obtained a copy of the book, “Barack Obama: The
Story” by David Maraniss, and excerpted the parts about Obama’s pothead
youth.
Among the highlights:
— Obama was known for his interceptions. This is the act of joining a
circle of people passing around a joint, taking a hit and yelling, “
Intercepted!”
