Not even in bed could a White Girl unravel the Mystery wrapped in an Enigma :
Obama super macho, at the same age when Romney was a pious Mormon Missionary converting people to the "Only True Religion" ( according to founder "Prophet" Joseph Smith ). At that same age Obama was dedicated to exploring his own virile active sexuality.

The dangerous new Obama book
Some excerpts :
When Vanity Fair published excerpts of the book early Wednesday, the aggregation mob (including POLITICO) seized on a few potentially damaging and salacious disclosures, especially Obama’s portrayal of a white girlfriend he lived with in New York in the early 1980s. The relationship is chronicled in intimate detail (conjure the image, if you will, of Obama taking a shower with his girlfriend or lounging around a Brooklyn walk-up wearing only a sarong), but ultimately he rejects the woman as too wealthy, too out-of-touch and incapable of coping with the complexities of his mixed-raced reality.
The 1995 introduction to “Dreams” warned readers that Obama employed composite characters to shield the innocent and compress the narrative. But Maraniss tracked down the real woman, described by only her mannerisms and appearance, and identified by Obama only as his so-called “New York girlfriend.”
Genevieve Cook, it turned out, didn’t take to the role of acting as a catalyst for Obama’s personal transformation, the memoir equivalent of being offered a seat at the State of the Union address to make a policy point.
“During an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Cook was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a ‘compression’ of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve [Cook] when he lived in Chicago,” Maraniss writes.
But that revelation, while hardly flattering, isn’t exactly a tabloid blockbuster. It’s the underlying point that’s disquieting, that Obama has applied that same “compression” to his personal and political narrative.
Maraniss obtained Cook’s journal from those years, which included this startling description of Obama that hints at a powerful ambition and calculation familiar to many future Obama watchers.
Speaking directly to Obama in the diary, she wrote on March 9, 1984, that she had “a sense of you [Barack] biding your time and drawing others’ cards out of their hands for careful inspection — without giving too much of your own way — played with a good poker face. … I feel that you carefully filter everything in your mind and heart — legitimate, admirable, really. … But there’s something also there of smoothed veneer, of guardedness …”
“I’m still left with this feeling of … a bit of a wall — the veil.”
