Barry Obama Choom Gang
The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot.

Mitt Romney has a target on his back. Democrats want to cast doubt on the integrity and character of the Republican Presidential candidate. They had to stretch really hard and far back to come up with something, which may or may not have happened. Either way, the article accuses Romney of pulling a prank in high school in the 1960s -- five decades ago. Susan Swift writes about the Washington Post's story of alleged bullying:
The Democrats may have made a big blunder by going after Romney's high school past. That opens the door for equal criticism about President Barack Obama's high school behavior and crimes. The president admitted to regularly using drugs and hanging out with radicals and communists like Frank Marshall Davis. The president, then known as "Barry Obama", has more to explain than Mitt Romney -- even if the allegation of bullying did occur (which I doubt). Ben Shapiro reports in Breitbart about Obama's high school dayz:
The Washington Post's controversial exposé on the young Mitt Romney just became more controversial. Presented as an investigative journalism piece, Jason Horowitz’s article contrasts sharply with a similar "flashback" article on Romney recently published in the June 2012 print edition of Automobile Magazine by author David Murray. Both articles chronicle anecdotal events in Romney’s teen years as told by classmates and friends. But while both quote some of the same people, the Washington Post article contains several inexplicable inconsistencies, omissions and false inferences.

In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote.... The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” This activity is certainly more reflective of Obama’s ideological history than Mitt Romney’s pranks on teachers and fellow students.

Hula girl - Friends not Fol... 2012/05/14 21:57:01Doesn't matter what candidate did in high school in 1960s
+5Obama was a racist bully in school and he was beat up for it and he still is a racist bully so if he wasn't to open that can of worms then let all those worms crawl out.
If there's ANY sheep involved here,, it's the people who sucked this story down despite ALL evidence to the contrary..
I'll say this.. People need to stop blamming Presidents for the lack of respect for Americans abroad.. THIS is the reason for such a lacking..
No wonder Trevon martin is dead, these people are petrified of black people.
The birthers have more evidence than that so I guess you believe them too?
The family didn't come out and say it didn't happen... the sister said the kid didn't mention anything about it, as if victims of bullying always run home and tell their sisters about being picked on. It's amazing that you'd even run with that story. LOL.
WHat's amazing is this story.. If EVER I lost respect with the people on the left it is with this infantile attempt to go back 50 years into someone's past and dredge up some BOGUS story about him..
WHAT an incredible ACT of DESPARATION.. Obama must be scared enougth to wet his pants to come up with THIS one..
It's not like it's one guys word versus another, here. This is a few classmates that recall the story and I'm sure it's not the only thing that Romney's done in his high school tenure that set him into his "bully" template.
I doubt Obama is that scared of someone that can't even get Oklahoma to support him by large margins against RON PAUL. Romney's not a strong candidate. He wasn't before and he's not now.
ANYTHING at all to "get" him is fair play,, isn't it..
Even IF it happened it was almost 50 years ago.. FIFTY YEARS AGO..
Grow UP..
You're LUCKY that your guy Paul isn't going to make any difference..
Too bad... I'd LOVE to hear you rant and rave while YOUR guy is being subjected to this BS..
it shows that Romney can't unite the party and it's pretty sad that he's your only hope.
Sure.. WE select ONE from a group of selections but that's the way it's supposed to be..
As for Romney uniting the party.. This happens with both parties during the primary season.. There was NEVER such a divide as there was between the Obama supporters and the Clinton supporters leading up to the '08 elections.... A GOOD portion of those Hillary supporters ended up not even voting for Obama and I have NO doubt that the same thing will happen with Paul supporters.. That's FINE with ME.. If they want to remove themselves from the process it doesn't matter to me..
But mark my words.. Where Romney fails to solidify opposition to Obama,, Obama himself will provide the impetus.. Already Obama is falling behind in the polls..
Romney has nothing like that going against him.
You are too quick to read into polls so early in the process to have me believe you know anything about this election.
I ALSO know that it IS unusual for an encumbant to be so close to his adversary at this point in the season.. I know ALSO that the majority of undicideds almost always end up going to the challenger.. IF these people were in ANY way happy with the encumbant,, they wouldn't BE undecided....
No.. I don't put much stock in polls.. They're indicators at best and usually biased one way or the other.. But what I DO know in conclusion is that the predictions of a landslide victory for Obama are as much a fantasy as a list of Obama Accomplishments..
We'll BOTH see how this turns out..
Please.. DO tell..
There can't be nowhere NEAR as much being made out of THAT story as the Romney Story or I would have HEARD something..
Until THEN.. YOU guys keep it up..
You know.. Romney MIGHT have had some problems getting it together but hell,, The MORE you clowns make a big deal out of these things the more SANE people will consolidate behind Romney..
Obama beats up little girls!
That will make a great thread THANKS !
Besides who says she wasn't gay?
She came out in her teens and Obama attacked her because he felt there was something different about her, this will be great!
Thanks again for telling me about it.
Knocking down a gay girl in elementary school,, eh??
Looks like Obama's Pattern of Violence started at an earlier age then Romney's..
ROFLMAO..
You know what people don't like.. People don't like LIES and they don't like LIARS and THIS story about Romney's so called High School pranks 50 years ago are going nowhere but down and they're taking the Left WIngers with them....
This story must be told we could have a psycopath in the Whitehouse!
