Arr, matey! Listen ye well to this tale from the landlubber David Garrow. He be chattin' 'bout letters to a lost love, prayin' that ol' Garrow ne'er lay eyes on 'em. And mark ye this, he claims Obama be as touchy as that scallywag Trump! Harr, a jest for the ages!
Biographer David Garrow revealed in an exclusive interview that former President Barack Obama once expressed his hope that Garrow would never read the letters he wrote to his former girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager. The letters, if made public, would reveal the serious and intense nature of their relationship, which continued during Obama's time at Harvard Law School. Garrow, who authored the biography "Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama," has been critical of Obama's memoir and presidency, calling the memoir fictionalized and stating that Obama was too lazy to be a good Supreme Court justice. However, Garrow also considers himself to the left of Obama on issues like healthcare and is pro-choice. Garrow's book examined Obama's relationships, including his courtship of Michelle Obama, and suggested that their marriage was politically calculated. Garrow spoke with several of Obama's former girlfriends but did not have access to Michelle for his project. He also commented on the evolution of the Obamas' lives and their accumulation of celebrity friends. Garrow also discussed a letter Obama wrote to another former girlfriend that mentioned fantasies about having sex with men, which Garrow does not consider scandalous. Garrow criticized Obama's transformation after his failed bid for Congress and described him as insecure and unwilling to accept defeat.
