(24,437 posts)That's not how it would be treated by the media/Republicans. It would probably be Clinton/Monica on steroids. Thankfully, President Obama is not prone to indiscretions.

Oh, wait... all conservative taboos are put on hold and IOKIYAR, right?

Genevieve sounds like a perfect young love.
This part struck me. She knew that she wasn't going to be the person to "fix" him and knew that although she did care for him and even love him, it wasn't to be. As they drifted apart she wrote in her journal :
Hard to say, as obviously I was not the person that brought infatuation. (That lithe, bubbly, strong black lady is waiting somewhere!)

(8,945 posts)Who was this ideal woman? Genevieve conjured her in her mind, and it was someone other than herself. She wrote, I cant help thinking that what he would really want, be powerfully drawn to, was a woman, very strong, very upright, a fighter, a laugher, well-experienceda black woman I keep seeing her as.
Quite amazing, isn't it? Overall, I found the article a very interesting glimpse into the workings of BO's younger inner self. So "inner" that it felt almost indecent at times, like I was spying through a keyhole...
