Rare Photo of Barack Obama & the ‘Choom Gang’ Unearthed (2012)

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.”

I’ll bet Barry made great grades with all that chooming. Smoking dope is great for memory, studying, and ambition.

Say what you will; this one would have been very hard to photoshop.

Fags indeed! I’d like to know which of these fellas sashayed over to the bakery and had this cake made! What male (I mean real male) would even THINK of having a pretty flowered cake made for his own graduation. You don’t see any girls there, do you?

Wow... the first recorded use of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock - possibly to decide who had to cut the cake.

In the real hippie days, women were always a part of the scene - if only to sexually exploit. It’s extremely telling that there are no girls in the picture. According to one article I just read, these guys would gather in a remote place and take baths under a waterfall. Come on - what real guy does that?

Is it just me or does he look older than everyone else in every picture with his classmates?

From the state of our foreign policy and economy I’d say he’s still choomin.

No Doubt about that! He is probably stoned every night from 5 on! Just like he probably was on September 11, 2012! during the Benghazi Debacle!

I have always suspected he might be.

Hard to say. They all look like typical 17-18 year olds in the late 70’s to me.

I’m six months older than Obama so I am pretty familiar with those times, to me it looks pretty normal.
