Longread #95 -- A Young Obama in Love -- 6/18/12

I've read a handful of interesting articles about Obama recently, and so this week's longreads will focus on various aspects of Obama as a person and politician. This first installment tells the story of one of Obama's first serious relationships that began while he was in college. It includes notes from his and his girlfriend's letters and journals and paints an interesting picture of Obama as a young adult still struggling with his identity and ambitions.
