Obama's sex secrets laid bare: How he considered a gay fling, had passionate sex and COCAINE with one white girl, proposed twice to another - and CHEATED on Michelle before they married

New biography of Barack Obama is laying bare his life since he was born and discloses his relationships before he married Michelle
Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama by Pulitzer-prize winner David J. Garrow is published on May 9
It reveals Obama was long-term lover of Genevieve Cook, an Australian-born graduate who was three years his senior
She reveals they had sex on their first date and that the 22-year-old, who was then a journalist on a financial trade magazine, was 'earthy' and 'passionate'
She also reveals his use of cocaine aged 22 and 23 - far later than he himself has spoken of in his own memoir
Book reveals he proposed twice to another white girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager, who is now an Oberlin College, Ohio professor
He cheated on Michelle by going back to Jager, who now says 'I always felt bad' - although he may have cheated on Jager too, with an Hispanic single mom
The white girlfriends were made into a composite character in Dreams From My Father and Jager says Obama's own memoir is inaccurate
And he considered a gay affair while at college where his mentor was an openly-homosexual professor who Obama called 'a wonderful guy'
