Former President Obama said Monday that if his checkered pre-politics life had taken place in todays social media oversaturated world, he might not have been able to win the White House.
He repeated stories about his own drug use in his younger days, saying that marijuana use was what teenage kids did at that age when I was growing up.
And while he wrote about those experiences in his book, he acknowledged that if that behavior had been documented more thoroughly it might have derailed his political career.
If you had pictures of everything Id done when I was in high school I probably wouldnt have been president of the United States, Mr. Obama said as he spoke to students at the University of Chicago, making his first return to the public stage since leaving office in January.
He was asked about social media and how it can come back to bite young people in the future, and he cautioned them to be aware.

Designation as a foreign student maybe?
“Obama’s habitual drug usage”
Like when he was being interviewed and when the auto bailout came up, he got the giggles and almost could not stop?
hmmm....I’m sensing a theme developing on this thread.
People who came of age in the 70’s who are TICKED OFF that a former POTUS has just called us all drug users.
Why not? What are you hiding?
That's easy. Obama is hiding the fact that he's a stupid jackass who only went to college because of Affirmative Action admission policies and Affirmative Action free-money Scholarships.
He's hiding the fact that his grades are horrible, and demonstrate that he's a simple minded fool who never should have graduated, let alone gotten anywhere in life.
Rest assured, if Obama's grades were any good, they would have been pushed in our faces constantly over the last 8 years. His grades are horrible because he's an idiot.
At least he didn’t try to tell us that he didn’t inhale.
Nobody willingly reveals that stuff.
Bush's grades were leaked to the press by somebody at Yale.
Kerry's transcript was available in the military records that he released to the media in order to answer his critics.
McCain's class ranking at Annapolis was in the public record.
None of them would have released their grades if they had a choice.
Yeah, and if they could have found documentation of where you were actually born, your senate career would have ended as well...

Maybe this will keep his oldest spawn out of politics, then.

Obviously because taking pictures in the football team’s shower was off-limits.
Sensible people realized that more than a decade ago. Yes, he's a fraud, and he always was.
“If you had pictures of everything Id done when I was in high school I probably wouldnt have been president of the United States, “
Well duh - call Mike Wallace and Morley Safer.
Did someone take a video of Malaria lying drunk on the sidewalk
“’If you had pictures of everything Id done when I was in high school I probably wouldnt have been president of the United States,’ Mr. Obama said.”
Twerking?
There was one of his appearances on television where he was out and out stoned. You can tell just by looking at him that his mind is fogged out.

That and also this guy is trying to play coy about having smoked pot when we all know he IS a coke fiend
I very happily don’t care what obama says, thinks, does. I don’t care where he goes, who he talks to or where he plays golf. Or if he plays golf. He is less than nothing to me.
“He repeated stories about his own drug use in his younger days, saying that marijuana use was what teenage kids did at that age when I was growing up. “
Bravo Sierra. That’s what SOME teenage kids did.
Barry didn’t grow up in the 70s. Just saying.
