FORWARD

Into The Past

In ToDaZeD Campaign Release the past emerges.

…or something

Genevieve [the *girlfriend* when he was 22] remembers…

It was a rent-controlled three-bedroom apartment. She remembered how on Sundays Obama would lounge around, drinking coffee and solving the New York Times crossword puzzle, bare-chested, wearing a blue and white sarong. His bedroom was closest to the front door, offering a sense of privacy and coziness. Genevieve described it in her journal this way:

“I open the door, that Barack keeps closed, to his room, and enter into a warm, private space pervaded by a mixture of smells that so strongly speak of his presence, his liveliness, his habits—running sweat, Brut spray deodorant, smoking, eating raisins, sleeping, breathing.”

When she told him that she loved him, his response was … “thank you”

    …and I think he was quoted as saying “I love the smell of puppies in the morning; it smells like lunch.”

    Claire: Please stop with the “pink pig barbarian, etc” stuff. You’re getting me all “sexed-up”, and it’s starting to make the cats nervous.

    Claire PPB (7): one of the many things about you — adding color.

    Hog (6): just broaden your interests to avoid frustration; pigs don’t have to be pink to be hot:

    geezerette: pot

    New campaign slogan — “a hog dog in with a lot of pot”

    Could this be why he can’t do anything but vote “present?”

    his response was … “thank you, would you like a cassette tape of my speeches?”

    He probably really said: “I love me, too.”

    Foreward shadowing of the campaign plane fragrance?

    Well, at least we’re getting to see a bit of Obama before he got to be Prez.

    Next up: his term paper on why Marxism is cool.

    “I asked him just what he was eating that gave his farts such an unusual aroma. He then pressed my nose into the back of his gym trunks as he let loose with a wild ripper, saying “I have to pass it so you can see what’s in it.”

    Something keeps telling me that Genevieve might:
    A – have a penis
    B – be on the payroll
    C – live in his mom’s basement

    Not that I don’t trust the left mind you…
