In a most untimely manner, Time has published a series of photos of Barack Obama from 1980. This was before his awakening to a political calling, back when he was a layabout weedblower and part-time cokehead. And, if I recall correctly, when he was still Barry the Hawai’ian, before he started crafting his Afro-Barack identity.
In several of the pics, Barry is smoking. Vanderleun makes an argument, apparently from experience, that it ain’t tobacco. I suppose this is progress over our first black President, as Obama clearly does inhale.
