A public that wants to know everything about Barack Obama can thank Lisa Jack for a glimpse of what the future president was like when he was just another college freshman trying to cut a figure in this world -- with a partly unbuttoned Oxford shirt, a big Panama hat and puffs of cigarette smoke as his props of choice for projecting that coveted aura of post-adolescent confidence and cool.
Obama can thank Jack for keeping the roll of photographs she took of him in 1980 out of circulation until he was elected. Nine were first published in Time magazine's December "Person of the Year" spread on Obama; now 21 of the 36 photos, plus a blow-up of her original contact sheet, make up "Barack Obama: The Freshman," an exhibition opening Thursday at M+B Gallery in West Hollywood.
Jack rummaged for the long-ignored negatives in her Minneapolis basement early in 2008, after it became clear Obama was a serious contender for the presidency. The callow kid kicking back on a couch in a living room near L.A.'s Occidental College, where he and Jack were students, may not have been the image the Obama campaign wanted to project.

The constant adulation of this Zer0 actually, and sadly, doesn't surprise me. Morons will adulate almost anything that gives them "Chrissy Tingles"...

So did Lisa know him Bare-Rock or just Barry?

Why do all these people grovel at his feet and protect him?

White guys need not apply. I think I'll fake and bake this evening. Never know, I might get a hand out. Better yet, a seat with The Supremes. Ah, Reflections of the way it used to be.

No, you know, really, I don’t begrudge Barry getting wasted and playing the fool back when he was in college. Been there, done that, different school, a few years later. What I do begrudge him and his followers is acting like it’d have been such a shame if people found out he had been like that instead of like The Messiah.
