The biography contains a few shocking passages, one that includes a claim that Obama had once admitted to a former girlfriend that he had repeated fantasies about making love to men.
The admission was made in a letter that Garrow claims to have personally seen, and it paints a vastly different picture than most Americans have of Obama, who once opposed gay marriage.
The letter is currently in the possession of Emory University, however, Obama’s ex-girlfriend had provided a copy of the letter — with one paragraph redacted.
Garrow told the Tablet magazine that she had revealed the paragraph was about homosexuality.
"This is kind of important," Glenn Beck says, "because when he got into office he was against gay marriage and everything else and tried to say that, you know, he was, you know, a family values kind of guy."
