Excerpts ……..A Window Into the Senator’s Life Story
Whatever happened, Kakugawa provides an interesting window into the senator’s biography, which he has presented as one of his central selling points.
“He is such a people person now, it’s really amazing because he was a very, very shy — I wouldn’t say introverted — but he was just a very shy, cautious kid,” Kakugawa says. “I didn’t see him as a politician, I saw him as maybe a lawyer, as a doctor, as even a kids’ counselor or a coach.”
Obama wrote of losing himself in drugs after Kakugawa graduated from Punahou in 1977. “Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it,” Obama wrote. But Kakugawa says he never saw any of that.
“Barry and I drank,” he says. “Well, I drank and forced Barry to drink, let’s get that clear. ‘C’mon Barry you’re drinking, you’re drinking.’ You’d see Barry have one beer after I’d have seven.” Kakugawa speculates that Obama may have tried drugs after he left since he no longer had a close friend with whom he could talk candidly.
“He did have a lot of race issues, inter-race issues, being both black and white, you understand?” Kakugawa, who himself is half black and half Japanese. “He never really realized his full potential until he went to college.”
