During an interview on CSPAN’s Book TV Sunday, “Barack Obama: The Story” author David Maraniss unveiled a photo of a young Barack Obama posing with his infamous pot-smoking “Choom Gang.”
“How much pot-smoking did the president do in Honolulu?” asked host Peter Slen.
“Well, you know, he writes about it in his book,” Marannis responded.
“He doesn’t write in particulars about the ‘Choom Gang.’ Ah, you know, the whole notion of Bill Clinton saying he never inhaled, well Barry said ‘that was the point, wasn’t it?’ when Jay Leno asked him about it. And, you know, some of my book — without going overboard — documents it pretty thoroughly,” he added.
“The ‘Choom Gang,’ that’s what they did,” Marannis said, referring to the gang’s love of “total absorption” (i.e. “hotboxing”). “That was part of his existence during that period.”

Any pictures of Putin in KGB training?

One can just imagine the laughter this pic produced in Putin.
I really cannot even begin to generate an ounce of respect for the complete idiots that elected this smelly piece of excrement.
To: dennisw
I won’t ever get on someone for youthful indiscretions. Problem with this guy is, he never grew out of them. If anything, he got worse.
