Obama: 'New York girlfriend' was a composite character (in other words, he lied)

Neither do you.

You've abandoned more than one of your "War on Catholics" threads when your lies were brought to light.

Why should we trust anything that you post?

 

In 100 years, historians will not be able to use anything in Obama's books as reliable fact because he has admitted that his books are fictionalized. Perhaps, we will never know the truth about where Obama was born, why he has someone else's birth certificate, what God he really worships, what nation he truly has allegiance to, what his grades were in college, why he never published anything while he was on Law Review, or who and what really happened between him and his girlfriends.

 

Quit projecting your BS on to others..............

 

So he could have done just that without mentioning their name. If you are going to write a story about your life, you include people who were involved in your life, not some made up "super mix of a babe" type woman.

 

Show me where I've ever lied. Provide a link.

I have provided links for everything I've said.

If you cannot present evidence of my lie, I will forever brand you as a liar yourself for your false accusation.

 

Perhaps Obama wishes people to believe he had a white girlfriend in New York because that would make him look cool and hip to his liberal white supporters.

 

So he should have wasted time and pages bringing up each woman individually when he only had certain things he wanted to say and even then by mentioning them individually he still could have violated their privacy by giving Conservative witch hunters information to track these women down.

That's what you are saying?

 

God he is so pathetic.

 

How about your entire "Communism is Everywhere" thread. Once people began debunking your claims, you fled.

Or how about your constant use of blatant strawmen to attack science?

 

He should have been honest. Lmao. I wonder what else he lied about in his book.

 

How about you back off of the poster and talk about the topic ? thanks for your cooperation

 

You know if you for once looked for information, rather than confirmation of what you want to believe, you might find something out.
Here is the article that is based upon the book that your quote came from- and quotes his 'white' girlfriends.

Now you can chose to disbelieve this too.....but thems the facts

 

Ahhhh....

the evolution of "conservative"... "thought"

First you were mad because Obama used a "composite character" so as to respect the privacy of women he'd known earlier but still try to represent his experiences there.

Then you got mad because Obama "admitted" this to a reporter so he lied in his book.
Then you got mad when you found out that Obama actually disclosed this in his book so your anger over his lie blows up on you
Then you got mad because he "hid" these revelations in the book's forward because apparently "conservatives' don't read forwards
Then you got mad because some "conservatives" who might have mistakenly read the forward might not understand

Unfortunately there appears to be little evolution and no thought from the "conservatives."

Once more all they bring top the table is their faux anger.

Must be a tough existence. Spending all day every day looking for something about which to be angry.

I thought we had already covered that? He was honest- and you just want to pretend he wasn't. He said his book contained composite characters and it does.

Only in a Bizarro Right wing world is that a lie.

 

Must be tough to support and defend a habitual liar like Obama

 

However, on Pages xvi-xvii of the introduction to Dreams (2006 paperback edition), Obama wrote:

Finally, there are the dangers inherent in any autobiographical work: the temptation to color events in ways favorable to the writer, the tendency to overestimate the interest one's experiences hold for others, selective lapses of memory. Such hazards are only magnified when the writer lacks the wisdom of age; the distance that can cure one of certain vanities. I can't say that I've avoided all, or any, of these hazards successfully. Although much of this book is based on contemporaneous journals or the oral histories of my family, the dialogue is necessarily an approximation of what was actually said or relayed to me. For the sake of compression, some of the characters that appear are composites of people I've known, and some events appear out of precise chronology. With the exception of my family and a handful of public figures, the names of most characters have been changed for the sake of their privacy.

From a 2007 article discussing his 'composite characters'.

So not only did Barack Obama explicitly tell everyone that there were composite characters in his book, and not only did he explicitly say that the names of most characters have been changed...it was widely discussed 5 years ago

This is what Blackrook and Consmike call "a lie"

 

Would YOU write about past loves in ways that they could be identified?

 

All politicians lie. Obama is no more a habitual liar than Newt or Romney.

However, back to the OP, the only 'lie' is the claim that Obama lied.

 

So you are clarifying that Obama was not lieing or unethical since he did just that?

No, it's a lie....

Another made up element of his life.....wow, I'm shocked; shocked I tell ya.

 

OK, if Obama admitted in his introduction that the entire book is a work of fiction (which he did), then why do people buy and read it?

This is simply more confirmation that Obama is the Manchurian Candidate. For all we know, the Communists trained him when he was a child and helped him become President. The secrecy he keeps about all the details of his life makes me suspicious this is true, and it is confirmed by his radical pro-Communist tendencies.

 

I am not that arrogant and prideful and elitist to believe I need to write an autobiography before I am 40

 

Obama always lies

 

This means his life is fiction or this is not a true autobiography either way it is a book of lies
