On CSPAN's Book TV Sunday, David Maraniss revealed a photo of Obama's pot smoking 'Choom Gang' and shared some of the information he learned about while writing his book.

"The Choom Gang, that's what they did," Marannis said, revealing the photo and talking about the gang's practice of "total absorption" of marijuana smoke while sitting in a car. "That was part of his existence during that period."

They used to say “Anyone can grow up to be president.”

I guess they were right.

The Choomster In Chief with his Cabinet.

[MikeSteelBe]

He’s Chucky Choomster, your friend in the end!

What I gotta do to get the first Choom summit ?

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Right and out of the other 11 or so stoners, not ONE has come forward (nor has the media had any "success" in finding even one) to talk about the time they spent with or what they knew about our Dear Leader?

How is that even possible??????

[AuH2ORepublican]

I’m not going to go into details, but that picture of Katie Couric (that’s her, right?) was placed in the worst possible spot in the frame.

[Jane Long]

What does the cake say? Happy Choom Day?

[BenLurkin]

Why do so many pictures from Hussein’s past look he’s been inserted into them with photo-shop?

[TurboZamboni]

is that Spicoli behind Barry?

[Uncle Slayton]

Anyone who has ever smoked marijuana should be prohibited from holding any elective office.

They were all made ‘An offer they couldn’t refuse’ AND shown the ‘video’, (the muslim’s goons very well could have filmed it for purposes just like this), of Donald Young’s abduction and execution prior to hussein’s election.

[refermech]

Same thing with beer. and sex. You were being sarcastic right?

[rawcatslyentist]

"What I gotta do to get the first Choom summit ?"

Fuhghettoboutit. Barry Bogart don't pass no blunt.

Another fake photshopped image

[funfan]

That is exactly what I think. When was this image taken
had to be early 80’s or 79? Look at the guy nexxt to Obama on the top of his shoulder it looks like something was removed or edited the pink splotch

[funfan]

It says “Class of 60” on the top can't make out the bottom.
Weird

[Jane Long]

That is weird. Every thing about this enigma-man is weird, though.

Check out Andrew Ferguson's article about Maraniss's book in the Weekly Standard.

Highlights (for me): mention of a "darker, slightly menacing" view of granddad, and the revelation that "Ray," the militant Black kid in Dreams, was another "composite" -- based on a half-Black, half-Japanese kid who was so assimilated he dated the daugher of the Admiral's from the local base.

Basically, angry, resentful Black "Ray" didn't exist. "Regina" an "authentically Black" friend at Occidental also didn't exist.

I agree and many photos from his youth look odd like he is just plopped into place.
