Barack Obama’s entire life has been
shrouded in mystery and lies, but a new
book by David Maraniss confirms much of
the information AFP has broken over the
past few years, in addition to adding much new material.
The reason this subject is of vital importance
is that Obama and his handlers have engaged in
fabrication so frequently, it’s uncertain whether the
president can discern fact from fantasy.
In Barack Obama: The Story, Maraniss tears
apart Obama’s autobiography, Dreams From My
Father, which helped define this young, aspiring
politician from Chicago. Dreams has been described
by reviewers as a “fable” and filled with
“deliberate distortions.” Maraniss provides plenty
of fodder to justify these labels.
Specifically, Obama invented a past New York
girlfriend out of thin air, turning her into what has
now been called a “composite character.” He described
in his book a huge argument with her in
front of a New York City playhouse in regard to
why blacks were so angry. Obama later admitted in
an interview that the incident never occurred.
Maraniss also debunks a falsehood about Obama’s
Kenyan grandfather being imprisoned and tortured
by the British because he helped anti-imperial
rebels.
Witness after witness has cast significant
doubt on this story, causing Maraniss to
conclude that the supposed whippings by white
men were “unlikely” and “a fabrication.”
