I recall that back during the 2008 presidential race some of the people who knew Obama when he was younger reacted with surprise to his drug-using claims because they never knew him as someone who used drugs. Keep in mind that Bill Ayers ghost wrote "Dreams From My Father" and likely co-mingled stories of his own childhood into the book to make the character more interesting. Maraniss also writes about the so-called "composite girlfriends" as Obama describes them in "Dreams." Obama didn't date women and he was not a good student. The real mystery is how someone who never stood out academically goes from Occidental to Columbia and then to Harvard. There's a reason he won't release his transcripts as other presidents have done. He picked a pretend wife he meets at Harvard who agreed to be part of the "fairy tale" as Bill Clinton describes it. She was going to dump him after he got his ass kicked by Bobby Rush in that 2000 congressional election and they were deeply in debt with about $50,000 in credit card debt. Four years later he is elected to the Senate and is already a millionaire. Yes, lots of questions that need answered. As some serious journalists answer questions for us there are always paid disinformants like Maraniss to appear on the scene with more made up tales to confuse us.Gary R.
