I am kind of proud to report that I got a call from Dinesh D'Souza inquiring about this photograph the young Obama. I explained that I found it while I was skimming the Occidental College alumni magazine (Summer 2010). At the same time, I also went through the class notes and found that Hasan Chandoo has been in touch with my old girlfriend Caroline Grauman-Boss and her friend Susan (Keselenko) Coll over the years.
I expect that all additional information regarding the lasting social ties between young Obama and his Occidental College friends will give additional credibility to my statements that I knew the young Obama and can affirm that he was a Marxist socialist in 1980-1981. As I have reported elsewhere, Obama and I used to be part of a strong, committed group of revolutionaries. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is that I aged out of that obnoxious ideology in my mid-20s.
Also, this photo illustrates other themes I've communicated regarding the young Obama including the fact that I never saw him with a girl and that he was strikingly effeminate at the time. The larger point, of course, is that the picture of himself that he created in Dreams from My Father is very different from the real Obama that I knew during the 1980-1981 school year.
UPDATE #1: Jerome Corsi has published a new article featuring my first impression of the young Obama. People ask me about my first impression and I tell them the truth.
UPDATE #2: Ironically, Michelle Robinson - the future first lady - apparently had her own doubts about the young Obama. She asked her brother Craig Robinson to check out Barack. Here is a great passage from Christopher Andersen's book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage:
Right after the game, Craig called Michelle with his verdict. "Your boy is straight," he told her, "and he can ball." (p. 126.)
Obviously, I was not the only person in young Obama's life who had questions about his sexual identity.
UPDATE #3: Jerome Corsi has another new article regarding Obama's time in Chicago which suggests that Obama hid his gay life to become president.
UPDATE #4: Rachel Maddow at MSNBC has launched an attack seeking to ridicule my first impression of young Obama.
I imagine Maddow does not have the nerve or the guts to air my complete and unedited first impression of the young Obama. Nevertheless, I am hoping this little bit of national television exposure will cause more people to look up my take on young Obama and judge its accuracy for themselves.
UPDATE #5: I met Barack Obama while he was a student at Occidental College. I have shared elsewhere that my first impression of him is that he was gay. (I was also one of the people that David Garrow interviewed for his new presidential biography, Rising Star.)
Giving Up All My Secrets: Dr. Drew Interviewed by Historian David J. Garrow
Consequently, I’m not surprised to learn that President Obama wrote that he “considered gayness” when he was younger. I think the meaning of the phrase is quite clear. Obama found men attractive enough that he seriously considered spending his entire life in a relationship with another man.
To heterosexuals, I think it sounds odd that President Obama writes that he prefers women simply because those relationships are more of a challenge. Objectively, I think it is much easier to get along with women than men. Men have a lot more testosterone which makes them quite ornery. I think, for most heterosexuals, the idea of having sex with either men or women is not decided on the basis of the comparative workload.
That being said, twin studies reveal that about half the folks who identify as gay as teenagers end up being straight when they grow up. For example, one study followed approximately 10,800 adolescents 16-22 years old. Among the 16 year-old males who had exclusively SSA, 61% had opposite-sex attraction at age 17. For same-sex attracted females, 81% changed to opposite attraction in just one year. The same study compared sexual attraction at ages 17-22 and found that 75% of adolescent males with SSA at age 17 had opposite-sex attraction at age 22.

It looks to me like President Obama may well fall into that category of young men who have SSA but then end up with opposite-sex attraction as adults.

Marxists do seem to be quite jevinile and cling to childhood fantasies instead of reality.
Very interesting article and photograph, John!
I've posted it on my blog
There has been much RW blogger commentary on Obama's sexual orientation with many alleged homosexual encounters noted. It would appear that his marriage was a political act done to make him appear "normal."
I get the impression that Obama is not very intelligent and pretty much a beta male under the influence and/or control of alpha Communist males further up the food chain.
What do you think?
P.S. Great to hear that you turned away from the "Dark Side" of Marxism. I've always been a stalwart anti-communist and served 20 years in U.S. Army Military Intelligence (1966-86) There is not one doubt in my well trained military mind that Obama is "The Manchurian Candidate" recruited, trained, controlled and bankrolled by the Communists - the greatest traitor in American history since Benedict Arnold.
From what I have read and what I have seen I think he is gay. I have a picture that is very hard to post, it is in file form and I can send it email but I can't seem to copy it on a site. It is a picture of Obama sitting with his roommate , I think Oxydental , this room mate is said to have bought all of his clothes and bought him a new car, most men dont' do that, I don't think so anyway. He also had 3 lovers according to this book that is out , just before he ran for President two of them were shot in the back of the head here in Chicago, the 3rd one died of AIDS at about the same time. That was in the book and that was in Globe tabloids, and I've read about the men elsewhere but Obama wasnt' mentioned. I think there is a lot more to him than meets the eye. I agree about Michele, who knows if those children are his, it could be artificial insemination, no?. Has anyone seen his medical records? he looks terrible lately. I don't think he is very smart either, George Soros is his adviser and according to him Soros is the man who got him into office , he's an old gasbag though so who knows. Before Obama ran for President he was a member of the CFR, you have to step down from that group if you are running for high office , once you are in you can rejoin win or lose, George Soros is also a member so I have no doubt they have something ot do with all of this.
Even if he is gay it would only make me want to vote for him more.
That's really a stupid remark. Why would you vote for someone who has kept his entire prior life a secret and who has spent millions to do so. He, himself, said, "If you hide something, you have something to hide." When did our society get to the point that we disregard the honesty or integrity of our leaders, so long as they give us free stuff?"
