Financier Eased Obama Aide's Path From Government

Former body man Reggie Love got financial assistance from Orin Kramer. Obama's “little brother.”

President Obama's former traveling assistant got financial assistance on his departure from government from a New York financier who is a top Obama fundraiser.

Reggie Love, Obama's former "body man" and a former Duke basketball star who the President has referred to as his "little brother" left the White House last November, and is on track to receive his MBA this December from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.

In the meantime, Love has received money, three sources told BuzzFeed, from Orin Kramer, the managing partner of Boston Provident and a leading Democratic fundraiser who has raised more than $2 million for Obama this cycle.

A source close to the money manager dismissed the assistance as a routine act of generosity. Kramer, who served in the Carter Administration, makes a practice of helping "young people transitioning out of government," the person said.

But the move also sheds light on the cozy ties between some sectors of finance and Obama's inner circle, and on the career help available to people leaving the highest levels of American government.

Love and Kramer also co-hosted a party at this month's Democratic National Convention made memorable by former Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin's unfortunate tumble into the Ritz Carlton's swimming pool. That event was co-hosted by other big names in finance, including Jane Hartley, co-founder of the economic and political consulting firm, Observatory Group, and Tony James, President of Blackstone Group.

Kramer stressed to BuzzFeed that Love is not being compensated for any work, and is not on his firm's payroll.

Love "is not working for Boston Provident in any capacity," he said in an email. "Period."

Do Straight People Pick Up on All the Gay Jokes that Drudge Report Makes at Obama's expense
 hillbuzz ^ | 9/18 | kevin dujan

I’m curious. Do straight people pick up on all the gay jokes that Matt Drudge at Drudge Report makes at Barack Obama’s expense?

It happens all the time…like today…and usually involved Drudge running a link to a story about Reggie Love…and then somewhere nearby on the page there’s a link to something else that is phrased in a way that, when combined with the Reggie Love and Obama story, creates the gay joke.

Today it was this story about Love: REPORT: ‘Body man’ Reggie Love paid by top Obama donor…

And then immediately below it was this: LEADING FROM BEHIND: Barack chases Mitt…

Get it?

Reggie Love, Obama, BEHIND, Barack chases…

This happens too often to be a coincidence.

Drudge can’t be busted by anyone on it, though, because he has plausible deniability in that “these stories are not related and just happen to fall that way on the page”…and he can then accuse a critic of being crazy and seeing things that weren’t there.

But these clues that Obama is gay are TOTALLY there. To my knowledge, Drudge has never directly linked to any story regarding Barack Obama’s gay experiences, here in Chicago or further afield. But every so often Drudge goes out of his way to highlight the bizarre and unexplained relationship that Obama has had with guys like Love, Kal Penn, Nick Colwin, Alex Okrent, Larry Sinclair, and Michael Signatore. When the first honest biographies of Obama are written in the future, these are the people who will fill the chapters that are devoted to the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Mary Pinchot Meyer, Mimi Alford, Angie Dickinson, and Jayne Mansfield in the Kennedy bios.

Barack Obama Vacations With Former “Body Man” Reggie Love…

by Ulsterman on February 19, 2013 with 0 Comments in News





 

In what will likely reignite old rumors regarding Barack Obama’s rather close relationship with Reggie Love who was for a time, always at the side of the president, the two men found time to vacation together in West Palm Beach Florida – without Michelle Obama around…
 


(Hmmmm…)

Rumors Persist Surrounding President Obama’s “Body Man” WARNING: Adult Content
 
Perhaps the photos suggest just what Mr. Love said – youthful indescretion.  A “mistake”.  Too much alcohol – too little sound judgement.  Or, perhaps they suggest something more regarding Love’s character – and his relationship to President Barack Obama, which in turn, may have played a significant part in Reggie Love’s recent and swift departure from the Obama White House.
 
For those who have not seen the photos – here they are.  CONTENT WARNING:   LINK

And the choice to vacation with a younger man without his wife around in West Palm Beach Florida, one of the most popular destinations in the country for gay couples,  will only add to the rumors now once again swirling about the president.

They f*ck up.  They get greedy.  Go on a power trip, whatever.  It happens.  Every time.  Every administration.  Don’t kid yourself otherwise.  Ronald Reagan was surrounded by some of the toughest assholes to ever step into Washington D.C.  And you want to know something?  That’s a big part of what made them so damn good.  You don’t like to hear that?  Well open your eyes and grow up.  That’s the system we have.  It’s a tough game.  And in Washington DC, they eat the young and the weak, and then ask for seconds.   -WHI:  February, 2013       LINK

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama told his team to shave points in a pick-up basketball game with New Hampshire firefighters during the 2008 primary season to avoid a blowout that would antagonize future voters, writes former Obama aide Reggie Love in a new book.

Love — a star basketball player at Duke University — said that with Team Obama far ahead on the court in the primary battleground state, the future president called him over and whispered: “We want to win. But we also want to win their support.”

“Let’s just settle down a little bit,” Obama suggested, Love said in his memoir, “Power Forward: My Presidential Education.”

“There wasn’t a lot of dunking by our team when we played the future voters (after that),” Love writes.

He doesn’t say who won the game, but Obama lost New Hampshire to Hillary Clinton anyway.

Love logged thousands of miles with Obama as his hand-picked personal aide, after rising up from modest beginnings in North Carolina and joining Obama’s Senate staff.

It was a once-in-a lifetime experience — but one that often found Love invading the personal space of the future commander-in-chief.

That makes him one of the world’s experts on Obama’s personal quirks, including his taste in footwear.

“Shoes were always the biggest challenge for the senator,” writes Love. “The man was particular about his feet. He wouldn’t just throw on any old pair of mukluks. They had to look a certain way, feel a certain way. Anytime he couldn’t wear his favored dress flats, it was an issue.”

He continued: “Throughout the campaign, I was always trying to scratch and scrounge to procure the ideal footwear. I’d send screen-shots to the advance teams and say, ‘Find these!’ Also, ‘Buy wool socks!’”

Obama even weighed in on foot issues with Beyoncé when she and hubby Jay Z met Obama for the first time at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Columbus Circle.

Beyoncé was coming off a tour, and told Obama her feet were killing her. “You have to have a masseuse to massage your feet. That must be in the budget for the tour production,” Obama joked, according to Love.

He continued: “And Jay said, ‘Yeah, so long as it isn’t a man.’ I quipped, ‘You’ve seen “Pulp Fiction.” You never let another man massage your woman’s feet,’ after which Jay burst out laughing.”

Among the book’s other disclosures:
•Obama was particular about what he ate on the campaign trail. “No gum wrapped in tiny papers. No energy bars with fruits. Salads only in emergencies. … Nothing battered or fried.”
•When Love was going to a Wendy’s for fast food, Obama cautioned: “That stuff will kill you.” Love then asked, “Even McNuggets?” “Reggie, you won’t be young forever,” replied the president.
•Love reveals Obama’s precise Nicotine fix. “Nicorette regular flavor 2 milligrams.”
•Obama once picked all the M&Ms out of a bag of trail mix that Love bought for him. “I’m not going to eat these,” Obama said, wrinkling his nose.
•During a stop in Las Vegas, NBA great Charles Barkley called to say, “Let’s hang out.”

Obama could only dream. “Let’s just take tomorrow off and go to the Cheetah Club,” he joked to his staff, naming a “Gentleman’s Club.”

Love responded: “I’m taking a rain check on that the minute you are ex-President.”

As Obama’s body man, Love had no precise job description. People in charge told him to “Handle stuff.” That meant schlepping pens, ordering food, and even lending ties to the future leader of the free world.

When Obama kept wearing an ugly suit, it got “left behind” in New Hampshire. But the two formed a bond that brought Love to the White House.

Obama’s hatred of sloppy, fattening food sometimes got trumped by his ambition.

In an Iowa ritual, Obama was required to down a Maid-Rite loose meat sandwich, which Love describes as “a heap of coarsely boiled ground beef bigger than your average Chihuahua that is served spilling out of a platter-sized, fluffy white bun.”

Obama “was aware that people in Iowa loved their loose meat sandwiches, and so it went down,” White writes.

“For months after, I would tease the senator with ‘Man I cannot believe you ate that sandwich.’ And he would smile and say, ‘Nobody can ever say I didn’t want to win.’”

The book’s publication date is Feb. 3.

So they're gay... is anyone really shocked by the notion that Obama is gay?  Small and effeminate marry...ed to a physically dominant mannish woman... he's practically the poster child for the middle aged gay man finally getting the Dick he always wasted.
