Obama’s First Fabricated Autobiography, Circa 1990 (Open Thread)

Excerpt:
"Below (shown in article) is a partial transcript of the text (minus footnotes) of an article allegedly written by Barack Hussein Obama II in 1990, when he was president of the Harvard Law Review. The article was published in the April 1990 Harvard Law Revue, which is a parody produced by the editorial staff of the Harvard Law Review.
As usual, Obama wrote about his favorite topic: himself.
[Emphasis added.]

The next section of his treatise was called Obamania. Just a few select excerpts:
Mind you, this was written and published in 1990, years before the “Obamania” of 2008 and years before he made millions off his books about himself. (Interesting that he coined a phrase that Bill O’Reilly now uses on his TV show–Barack and a hard place.)
Read once again the sentence beginning, “I was born.” Now compare it to this, which I cobbled together from various Obama quotes, and which is a synopsis of the creation myth that he tells:
Sound rather familiar? The flavor is the same in both biographies–the parody versus the one we’re expected to believe. Only the details have been changed. The official version sounds very much like that first published autobiography about the ice-fishing factory worker and the backup singer for Abba. About as truthful, too.

BETWEEN BARACK AND A HARD PLACE: MY FIRST HUNDRED DAYS
by Baroque Yo’ Mama
Lots of folks have asked me, “Baruch, what’s it like to be the first Jewish president of the Harvard Law Revue?” Oi! This has gone a bit too far. It’s true that my background is a bit convoluted, but let me try my luck at clarifying these matters once and for all. I was born in Oslo, Norway, the son of a Volvo factory worker and a part-time ice-fisherman. My mother was a backup singer for Abba. They were good folks. As you folks all know, I am extraordinarily mature, and at the age of fifteen I went off to California to enroll at Accidental College. After a couple of years, I decided to go to Colombia, but when offered a position as a judge in Bogota, I fled to Chicago. There I discovered I was black, and I have remained so ever since. But I don’t want to bore you folks with matters of background and ethnicity. …

[M]y mother is an anthropologist or something …
I have come to depend upon … the use of apparently meaningless symbols to bewilder and befuddle …
Giving interviews and granting photo sessions has been a large burden, but when the movie rights are finally bought up I believe it will all be worth it.

I was born in Hawaii. I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. My mother was a Christian from Kansas. My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed …
