Book: Michelle Obama was not Barack Obama's first choice

Michelle was not the only women in Barack Obama’s life and he had been in a serious relationship before he met his future wife, according to an upcoming biography of the former US president.

The book — Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama written by David J Garrow — shares for the first time the story of the woman Sheila Miyoshi Jager, his love interest, with whom Obama lived in Chicago, The Washington Post said.

Jager tells author David Garrow, “In the winter of ’86, when we visited my parents, he asked me to marry him.” Jager’s parents objected to the union, believing her to be too young, as she was in her early 20s and two years younger than Obama.

Their romance continued, but Jager says Obama’s political ambitions got in the way. Possessed by a sense that he was destined to a life in politics, and could even become the first African-American president, she says race soon cast a shadow over their relationship.

Besides this, several sex secrets of the young Barack Obama have been revealed in an authoritative new biography of the  former president.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Obama did cocaine together with a friend — and after they split she slept with his best friend.

The report added that Obama also considered a gay relationship while at college, twice proposed to another white girlfriend, and cheated on Michelle with his ex during the first year of their relationship.
