mercurialworld Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Quote Former President Barack Obama wrote of his own “androgynous” mind and “mak[ing] love to men daily, but in my imagination,” according to the redacted portion of a now-notorious 1982 letter, obtained by The Post. The more than 40-year-old letter to an ex-girlfriend recently resurfaced after Obama biographer David Garrow gave a long and winding interview on the one-time commander-in-chief. “In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982. “My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency,” he added. McNear, who dated Obama during his year at Occidental College in Los Angeles, later redacted the salacious paragraphs, which the Pulitzer- Prize-winning historian Garrow hunted down and included in his tome, “Rising Star.” The letter is currently owned by Emory University, which doesn’t permit it to be photographed or removed. Instead, Garrow’s friend Harvey Klehr transcribed the paragraphs by hand and sent them to the author. https://nypost.com/2023/08/12/barack-obama-told-ex-i-make-love-to-men-daily-but-in-the-imagination/

Vermillion Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 These letters are old opposition research from 2006. The New York Post is justifying resurfacing this I'm guessing as a usual distraction from Trump because that new interview wasn't getting the attention they're claiming it was getting. Obama's expressed regrets about picking him as the biographer and I have no idea why he did. And it's not a typical smear from the right given Garrow's past political leanings as a Democratic Socialist, although his recent ambulance chasing has made him a useful idiot of the right, especially with his material about MLK. He knows those groups on the right are giving him the most adulation so he'll continue to cater to them with ridiculous whataboutism between he and Trump. I doubt he's bisexual - this is insufferable academic flowery language with him implying that men may be in his fantasies but they aren't necessarily the ones turning him on. Homophobia's trending again though so I guess Murdoch thinks this will get some traction. 8

Male Leo here, not bi or poly but gay. Would be insatiable if sex and hookups weren't such a chore for multiple reasons. Please move beyond horoscopes and touch grass. 10
