Former President Obama shared a story in California on Saturday about a time he was kicked out of Disneyland while in college.
Obama told a crowd in Anaheim while campaigning for local Democratic candidates about a time when he and several friends who were in California for a Kool & The Gang concert were booted out of the theme park after they were caught smoking on a ride.
"So we came down, me and a bunch of friends. After the concert, because we were teenagers you could still sort of hang out in the park, and we got in the gondolas," Obama told the crowd.
"And I'm ashamed to say this, so close your ears, young people. A few of us were... smoking," Obama said, while miming the act. After the crowd began cheering, he clarified: "No, no, these were cigarettes, people."
"They escorted us out of Disneyland," Obama continued. "I was booted from the Magic Kingdom."
Disney CEO Bob Iger responded to Obama in a tweet, joking that the former president was welcome back at the park anytime, provided he didn't light up a cigarette, which park rules state are only allowed in designated areas.
"@BarackObama just opened his speech in Anaheim with a story from his college years about getting kicked out of Disneyland for smoking cigarettes on a ride," Iger wrote. "He can always come back, as long as he doesn't smoke!"
Obama appeared Saturday alongside seven Democratic congressional candidates, attempting to rally voters ahead of the November elections.
Democrats need to net at least 23 seats to take back control of the House, while Republicans are defending a 51-49 seat majority in the Senate.
Obama, who delivered a speech Friday in Illinois condemning President Trump, took several veiled shots at the president on Saturday.
"If we dont step up, things can get worse," he told the crowd in California.
Guffaw
I screamed that it was racist and profiling and demanded reparations and - bingo- I had a new career path.
Yeah, I was thinking the village people were more his style
Oh no, Victimhood already well embraced. My sister and I, too, got kicked out of D’land with our boyfriends. They had tank tops on, not allowed. We had lacey blouses, which were ok. We went to the car, switched tops, and they allowed us to enter. We went of course immediately to the tshirt store and got more appropriate MickeyMouse tshirts.
He’s such an ass. And he just cannot stand to be out of the limelight. Go Away.
Chances are he was trying to slip in.
He was most likely smoking pot
They obviously got Jug Ears confused with Dumbos ears.
With those ears you would have figured they though he was Dumbo.
Obama just likes to pontificate and make speeches, which his sycophant followers lap up like sheep dogs. It's amazing that this guy thinks he'll be able to do a few election time speeches and make a difference. He doesn't work hard enough to make a difference...he's a slacker who got lucky in life. Trump works harder before noon in one day than this guy did in a month.
Yup
BooHoo. Cry me a river. My son got booted from an amusement park for breaking the rules. That’s what happens when you break the rules.
What were they going to do when they finished them, flip them down on the people below?
” A few of us were... smoking,” Obama said, while miming the act. “
Yeah, smoking the baloney pony. He should’ve been kicked out.
Disneyland use to be relatively inexpensive: Less than $5.00 in the early to mid ‘70’s.
I wonder if Disneyland employees had to fumigate the place, after he left?
He is still a cigarette smoker.
Interesting how the leftist media keeps that under wraps.
Yell more lies. Kool and the Gang didnt tour much at all and I doubt obozo was supposed to be a poor college student. How did he get from Columbia to Anaheim
“He is still a cigarette smoker.

They consider it as bad as being a child molester——or a Trump supporter.

1972 was a tough year for 0bama, little is known about these years.
-0bama is going to school in Indonesia. Ann sends the kid to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.
-Ann gives birth to daughter Maya, then leaves her husband Lolo to return to Hawaii for moar schooling.
-0bama hangs around with pederast Frank Marshall Davis (Cause his mom and grandparents hate him???)
-0bama Sr. returns to Hawaii to visit old classmates, passes on opportunity to re connect with 0bama.
And in the midst of all the turmoil, some body scrapes up the cash to send an 11 year old to Disneyland for vacay. Maybe, it was one of those make a wish foundation deals.
Who were the parental units on the trip? A grade six kid running loose on his own?
Surrrrre, that’s it, that’s the ticket!
The heck is he blathering about? Dont do drugs kids.
I remember when Nikita Khrushchev came to the US in 1959. No Disneyland for him
