The black and white pictures show the dandily dressed Obama, aged around 19, smoking a cigarette whilst sitting on a wooden bench and leaning against a wall.

That’s a cigarette? Nice eyes.
Different chair.

Looks arrogant, high and in the pimp business

Thank you to any third party voters and stay at home all or nothing whiney baby conservatives. This is what you helped elect with your protest votes. This is your train wreck.
Obama exhibits nearly ALL the traits of a MALIGNANT NARCISSIST in the mold of Castro, Jim Jones, Stalin, Hitler and other despots.
This country is in for a VERY BAD TIME!

Amen....I thought Clinton had proved that ANYONE could be Prez......Obama takes the cake.
I still can’t believe this whole election thing just happened. Puke.
