Obama Was A Pimp: Or At Least the 80's Made Him Look That Way

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

If these were meant to be flattering, why would you leak them to the New York Post, a "newspaper" that despises Obama?

Wait a minute... Time Magazine named Obama Person of the Year, found these photos, and then instead of publishing themselves, let the Post have these before anyone else? For whatever reason they've been appropriated, we'll share them without comment:

 

 

 

These photos, by the way, were taken in 1980 by an acquaintance at Occidental College and locked in a safe-deposit box to ensure they were not used for political purposes during the election. More about the photographer and the photos here (warning: it's a New York Post article, the fuckers.)

Whatever, the guy doesn't look like a pimp at all. He looks like an afican american that has style and those pics were taken for fun. Seriously, can't a president have a past where he had fun?
