President Barack Obama considered being homosexual as a young man, according to a forthcoming biography of the president. The biography by David Garrow, “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama,” is set to come out on May 9. Garrow wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Martin Luther King Jr., and is a regular contributor to The New York Times and The Washington Post. In a chapter about the former president’s two years at Occidental College, Garrow reveals a close relationship Obama had with an openly gay assistant professor named Lawrence Goldyn. “Goldyn made a huge impact on Barry Obama,” Garrow wrote in the book. “Almost a quarter century later, asked about his understanding of gay issues, Obama enthusiastically said, ‘my favorite professor my first year in college was one of the first openly gay people that I knew…He was a terrific guy” with whom Obama developed a ‘friendship beyond the classroom.'” The biographer added, “Goldyn years later would remember that Obama ‘was not fearful of being associated with me’ in terms of ‘talking socially’ and ‘learning from me’ after as well as in class.” “Three years later, Obama wrote somewhat elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness, but ultimately had decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex,” Garrow wrote. “But there is no doubting that Goldyn gave eighteen-year-old Barry a vastly more positive and uplifting image of gay identity and self-confidence than he had known in Honolulu.” Garrow recently spoke about his book on The Jamie Weinstein Show. When asked about Obama experimenting with homosexualuality, Garrow paused and replied, “I think anyone and everyone, no matter what their role in life deserves a certain basic degree of privacy, in that context.” Poster Comment: Apparently this is all info that the media never knew about it, just like they never knew what a despicable whoremonger JFK was back in the day.

That would explain the wookie-as-beard thesis.
I would expect the Left will vacillate between two positions: 1) 0bama as the dedicated daddy and a man of the Left and 2) 0bama the first gay president. But it would appeal to them greatly to label 0bama as America's first gay president, in the same way that they labelled Xlinton as America's first black president around the time he left the WH. The main problem with the whole narrative is this idea that 0bama chose not to be gay. And still no mentions of any real romances with females prior to or during this time. Meaning that 0bama would have been very exclusively gay when he was a college undergrad. So you are left concluding that, if this is true, 0bama is a gay man who decided to marry some ugly woman so he could enjoy family life and get ahead in politics. Which would play into the Reverend Wright's church with its reputation for being a "church" for Lefty black down-low Chicago politicians and their beard wives and children. Beyond that, you have to confront "Is being gay a choice?". If that is true, ...well, imagine the fireworks from the I-wuz-born-this-way crowd. You can see why this bio will likely be studiously ignored by the Left, no matter what.
