#3 I think he was mis-quoted...

Or misunderstood. Where have we heard that before?

But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss 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.

Slut.

#12 I don't get it. Are we talking about a novel here? A work of fiction? Or is it supposed to be an autobiography? Or a biography?

For one thing, composite characters are commonly used in works of fiction and the practice is perfectly acceptable because the author doesn't claim that any of the characters are real or that the events that are described ever really happened. But if the work is supposed to be non-fiction this is totally unacceptable. If you fudge a little here and there, how do we know that the whole thing is not a pack of lies? How do we know what is the truth and what isn't?

Furthermore, if it's supposed to be an autobiography, why does Obama need a biographer? Who actually wrote this book, Maraniss or Obama? If it was a biography then it's OK for Maraniss to write it. But autobiographies are supposed to be written by the subject of the book. You cannot have it both ways.

#14 Can't believe some one actually read something in this day and age. Like they might learn whats in it. Was the book also 2000+ pages long?

#18 Now you know why George Soros has to write Obama's speeches which Obama reads from the teleprompter. He read Obama's book and decided he had better write his speeches.

#25 the so-called 'New York girlfriend.'
Didn't (s)he go down to New Orleans to work in the transvi show on Bourbon Street?
Actually, I kind of give the guy some credit for modifying the particulars of (alleged) ex-girlfriends - it would be cruel to publically shame them for having associated with him.

#26 "She had dark hair, and specks of green in her eyes. Her voice sounded like a wind chime." Reading T.S. Eliot paid off.

More like Automotive Today.

And actually, according to warrengeneologydotcom, I am African.
