Obama Composite Girlfriend Admission Is A Myth - Business Insider

Obama Composite Girlfriend Admission Is A Myth - Business Insider: "No, he didn't. What he did admit to — 17 years ago, by the way — is exactly what is in the preface of "Dreams from My Father." This is from the Vanity Fair excerpt:
Like many characters in the memoir, he introduced her to advance a theme, another thread of thought in his musings about race. To that end, he distorted her attitudes and some of their experiences, emphasizing his sense that they came from different worlds. Decades later, during an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Genevieve was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a “compression” of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve when he lived in Chicago.
There it is. Obama knows this — he said it 17 years ago. It's right there, in the opening pages of the memoir. Still, it was missed in the Politico story, which has since been updated. "
