Where are Obama's girl friends?

Rush talked about the fact that Obama had made up his New York girlfriend - as a composite of all his girl friends... but who knows, he might well not have had any girl friends. Depending on where he was when he was growing up - and I confess I haven't read the book in question (we all should).

Because being half black and half white, he'd have faced prejudice from one or the other "side" depending on w here he lived. In black communities if you're half white you're teased just as viciously - if not more so - then if you're in a white community being teased for being half black.

So maybe Obama didn't have nay girl friends until he actually got to college...

Now, Dylan Byers says, "One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama's 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called 'New York girlfriend.' Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym [sic], but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail. But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss," he used to be at the Washington Post, "that the 'New York girlfriend' was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago. "During an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Genevieve was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a 'compression'..." That's his word. He meant "composite," I'm sure. She "was a 'compression' of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve [Cook] when he lived in Chicago,' Maraniss writes..." So the New York girlfriend was a composite. The bunch of girlfriends Obama had, he just combined all the character traits into one woman. And the excuse is, "Hey, it's just a couple paragraphs in the book! What's the big deal?" Well, in an autobiography, if you're gonna invent characters -- in an autobiography, if you're going to invent characters -- and then only admit you invented them after people have tried to find them... You know, he invents this Genevieve babe and people can't find her. She didn't exist. (interruption) Well, I haven't read it. I don't know if he quoted her. If he "compressed" her, she mighta said something. But it's not reported.
