Barack Obama had a strong 'sexual warmth' that overwhelmed his girlfriend at the time,
according to a new book that identifies her for the first time.

Vivid diaries written by Genevieve Cook reveal she was driven wild by the smell of sweat,
smoking and deodorant that emanated from his bedroom. She said that on Sundays the

identity and 'felt like an imposter because he was so white'. In the end Mr Obama, who
was raised in Hawaii by his white mother, decided that he needed to 'go black' because
it was best for him.

Ms Cook has long been hailed as the 'mystery woman' from Mr Obama's days in New
York that he wrote about in his own memoir.
