A media outlet is raising eyebrows across the country regarding a 16,000-plus word interview <\/a>it conducted with former President Barack Obama\u2019s award-winning biographer. In the interview, the biographer drops what Fox News describes <\/a> as several \u201ceyebrow-raising\u201d claims including one that raises a question regarding Obama\u2019s sexuality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Fox News reported<\/a>, Tablet\u2019s David Samuels sat down lengthy Q&A with historian David Garrow, who wrote the 2017 biography \u201cRising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.\u201d The book was widely praised <\/a> by corporate media outlets including the Washington Post, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Politico.<\/p>\n

Garrow previously won <\/a> the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for the book \u201cBearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interview starts with Garrow sharing the story about how Obama\u2019s relationship with Sheila Miyoshi Jager, his girlfriend in the 1980s, ended. Garrow says their relationship fell apart after Obama refused to condemn antisemitism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Samuels notes, the former president\u2019s version of the breakup was far different in his infamous memoir \u201cDreams of my Father.\u201d Obama wrote that the relationship ended because he wanted to embrace his \u201cBlack racial consciousness,\u201d which conflicted with his Caucasian girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Whose version of the story is correct? Who knows. The bridge between the two accounts is Obama\u2019s emerging attachment to Blackness, which required him to fall in love with and marry a Black woman. In Obama\u2019s account, his attachment to Blackness is truthful and noble. In Jager\u2019s account, his claims are instrumental and selfish; he grants particularism to the experience and suffering of his own tribe while denying it to others.<\/p>\n

But the claim that is getting the most buzz is the part where Garrow discusses Obama\u2019s girlfriend at Occidental College, Alex McNair. He revealed that when McNair showed him letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just claimed that \u201cIt\u2019s about homosexuality.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moreover, a man named Harvey Klehr was assigned curating the letters, which are located at Emory University and they would not let him take a single photo.<\/p>\n

This begs the question: could Obama be gay or bisexual?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s spent his whole life at Emory, but they won\u2019t let him take pictures. So Harvey has to sit there with a pencil and copy out the graph where Barack writes to Alex about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even more, though. Garrow also said that Obama completely fabricated \u201cDreams of my Father.\u201d When he confronted the former president about this, he was livid. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s so inaccurate, whether about the dynamics among the guys in Hawaii or what\u2019s going on in the community group on the far South Side of Chicago. And it completely omits women. I\u2019ve always thought that there\u2019d eventually be a feminist critique of Obama because his mother and all the girlfriends \u2014 they\u2019re not there. They don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

He wants people to believe his story. For me to conclude that \u201cDreams from My Father\u201d was historical fiction \u2014 oh God, did that infuriate him. He doesn\u2019t want it challenged. It\u2019s my story and I\u2019m sticking to it. The book is so fictionalized.<\/p>\n

Democrats in the past have fantasized about putting Obama on the Supreme Court because he could not serve another term in office and they fancy him a constitutional expert. But Garrow has some bad news for them.<\/p>\n

He says Obama would be absolutely horrible on the Supreme Court because he\u2019s too lazy. Obama even reportedly admitted his slothful side. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019d be terrible because he\u2019s too lazy. This is in the book. It goes back to him being Hawaiian. At one point, he says, \u2018I\u2019m fundamentally lazy and it\u2019s because I\u2019m from Hawaii.\u2019 That\u2019s close to the actual quote.<\/p>\n

Garrow goes on to tell a story about Obama\u2019s lawyer warning him not to ask about Obama\u2019s father. He describes this as a textbook example of Obama\u2019s \u201cnot normal\u201d personality and calls him \u201ca creature from another planet\u201d when discussing his wife Michelle Obama being raised by a close-knit family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During his discussion with Garrow, Samuels also seemingly comes to the conclusion that Obama is running the country behind the scenes. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He lives in a large brick mansion in Kalorama. Doesn\u2019t it strike you as weird that he\u2019s an ex-president, he\u2019s comparatively young, and he\u2019s living in the center of Washington, D.C.? The original excuse was that Sasha had to finish school. Then you could say, \u2018Well, the opposition to Trump needs a figure to rally around.\u2019 But now Sasha has graduated from USC, Trump is gone, Joe Biden was elected present, but he\u2019s still there.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t that strike you as odd? I mean, I have heard from more than one source that there are regular meetings at Obama\u2019s house in Kalorama involving top figures in the current White House, with Secret Service and cars outside. I don\u2019t write about it because it\u2019s not my lane. There are over a thousand reporters in Washington, and yet there are zero stakeouts of Obama\u2019s mansion, if only to tell us who is coming and going. But he clearly has his oar in.<\/p>\n

Social media users in America, especially conservatives marveled at the shocking claims revealed in the discussion. National Review\u2019s Charles C.W. Cooke summed it up best when he called it an \u201cextraordinary interview.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an extraordinary interview, and anyone interested in American politics should read it from start to finish. https:\/\/t.co\/MZ7uexVuA9<\/a><\/p>\n

Biden is going to stand for re-election, despite being decrepit, because Biden isn\u2019t really calling the shots anyway. The Obama apparatus is. This is a must-read piece. https:\/\/t.co\/b2nzLAF6rK<\/a><\/p>\n
