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.”

That photo was taken in 1979-high school. Not to defend the choomer in chief, but those weren’t exactly hippie times, they would have been about ten years earlier. I graduated in 1977, hippies had phased out. (long hair and drugs were still around)

If they were an immature bunch, physically and emotionally, they may not have been that “into” girls yet which would have explained the waterfall and all guy party.

Adding: I don’t see anything weird about kids hanging out together. Isn’t that what sports are about?

When you see this [picture you can see that Obama was not accepted by the local Honkies, He always felt left out. He suffered greatly from discrimination.

We can see that in this photo how badly he was treated because he was half black.

This maltreatment is what caused his racist attitude.

Bunch of my buddies had a cake made for me for my birthday once. It had a beautiful likeness of a Browning High Power on it.

About the “baths” under the waterfall, only with girls. With only guys? Absolutely not!

Obama is a complete wackadoodle. Regardless of where he was born, he did not grow up as an American.

I was going to comment that even this photo looks like he was stuck in there.
There’s not one photo from this antichrist’s past that looks real.

I’m sure Seal Team 6 is impressed NOT or the parents of the fallen in Extortion 17 or Benghazi, ya think? Disgusted and outraged may be more accurate?
