Photos of a young Obama reveal a campus hunk (the adulation of the media messiah continues...)

He was tall and stunningly good looking, a guy who could appear pensive and serious one moment and then, with smoke from an unfiltered cigarette swirling around his face, morph into the hippest looking dude this side of James Dean.

Which is why budding photographer Lisa Jack knew the moment she saw Barack Obama walk into the campus snack shop at Los Angeles' Occidental College in 1980 that she had to get the freshman in front of a camera.

"I was doing portraits of fellow students, the cool people on campus," Jack, a slender, 49-year-old bundle of energy, recalled this week as she stood in a West Hollywood photo gallery surrounded by framed black-and-white photos of the president as a young man.

Do you think they realize how foolish they look?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

cult of personality and idol worshiping. It’s that simple. What they failed to mention is that that hung didn’t go after any girls. If you haven’t noticed, there’s no talk about Buttcrack’s old girlfriends? Boyfriends on the other hand...

[Buckeye McFrog]

who else could have the press fawning all over some goofy snapshots of a college freshman?

No doubt preparing the ground for the inevitable leak of some Michael Phelps-like bong photos....

[mrmeyer]

Nah, they can’t see the forest through the trees. It’s all kool aid drinking in between shouts of obama heil! from here on out.

[the invisib1e hand]

the nanny state, the bitch state, and now, the adolescent girlie state.

[metmom]

Someone as dandified as obama a hunk?

I don’t think so.

[angcat]

THIS IS A HUNK

[the invisib1e hand]

good thing they don't have mine.

[Vaquero]

yeah a ‘Hunk’ of $h!t!

[massgopguy]

Compare them to photos of a young G.W. Bush getting in to the cockpit of his Delta Dart.

[the invisib1e hand]

Someone as dandified as obama a hunk?

Sure, in a politically correct, hip, green, emasculated, pro-abortion, new-world-order kind of way.

[svcw]

Hunk?
He is a skinny girly man with an idiot smile.
Sorry these pictures make him look like a dope smoking homosexual.

[Old Grumpy]

I couldn’t read as far as the end of the first sentence before I started feeling sick to my stomach. I’m ready to puke.

Soviet-style Cult of Personality Liberalese:
“Photos of a young Obama reveal a campus hunk”

Translation to English:
“Photos of a young Obama reveal a sociopath punk”

[oblomov]

Barack Obama is the Pygmalion of the left. He is a fiction, a construction of a committee. There is nothing spontaneous about him. This “revelation” of photos of the collegiate Obama are part of the manufactured image.

[Vaquero]

hippest looking dude this side of James Dean

and like James Dean he was or is a Rump Wrangler....
Frank Marshall Davis liked his girly man looks.

[2ndDivisionVet]

"...these pictures make him look like a dope smoking homosexual."

The camera doesn't lie.

[The Duke]

Sounds like somebody stole Monica’s kneepads from the Smithsonian!

[Doc Savage]

I must have been directed to a fraudulent site. The photos I saw there were of an effeminate, multi-racial muslim crack dealer and user. I also recognized the photo of this guy’s wife. I think she was on some TV show about a guy named Fred Sanford. She carried a big purse.

AP = Always Pimping

De Photos

[Neverforget01]

I had to check. I was desperately hoping this was satire.

[jackv]

Hunk??? You’ve got to be kidding. More like a punk!!!

[2ndDivisionVet]

That’s another thing: This whole “Michelle Obama is soooo beautiful” gag they have going on. What? It’s not a gag? They’re serious?! Bwhahahahaha!

[This_far]

“Do you think they realize how foolish they look? “

In all fairness, so didn’t I (perhaps many) look during our youth?

It seems that the current electorate has progressed by reverting to 30 years prior ideology.

[metmom]

I like this better.....

[suthener]

Yeah, Obama was cool. Unlike Bush, for instance, who was only an Air Force fighter pilot.

[BillyBonebrake]

First off, “hunks” don’t go to schools like Occidental. Just libtards.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Or this one...

Not that we put up a good candidate, but if you want photos of "hunk"...

[Wontsubmit]

Usual, the yapping Homo egged on by a specific breed of cackling womyn ...

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Great, we have photos of Obama at Occidental, but no transcripts or other records, eh?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Texas Air National Guard fighter pilot, no?

[Recovering Hermit]

What a douchebag.

[A. Patriot]

As Pastor David Manning says, Obama is a “Long Legged Mack Daddy.”

Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mack+daddy

I believe that some of these definitions of “Mack Daddy” size up Obama pretty well.

I see a man wrote this so it makes more sense. I’m a female who is attracted to real men, not “smooth” men who like to pose for pictures. It has the exact opposite effect on me.

[waxer1]

according to the interview with the lady, they called him BARRY on campus, not Barack.

[jackv]

Oh I love that pic of W!! Thank you!! I like this one too...

[angcat]

[metmom]

Something like this?

[John Leland 1789]

So they can come up with all these photos, but can’t come up with a birth certificate. Huh???

[gargoyle]

...You forgot fan and hero worship, have no use for any of it. The only thing these fevered egos get from me is contempt..

[Never on my watch]

To me, the pictures say drug dealing pimp.

[Piquaboy]

He was a hunk all right. A hunk of chit!.

[Bitsy]

cult of personality and idol worshiping.

Close to the same mentality of those who put Hitler in power - mindless, self absorbed idiots.

[BenLurkin]

Nothing will make the media creeps change except fear — and until now, no “reporter” in this country has had any reason to feel fear.

If ever these enablers come to fear personal consequences of their complicity — then their tune will change.

[wbill]

with smoke from an unfiltered cigarette

In the pictures that I've seen, he hasn't been smoking an "unfiltered cigarette".

Well, I suppose something handrolled would be unfiltered....

“To Jack’s surprise, the future president, dressed in jeans and a shirt with sleeves rolled up, arrived with his own props, including a leather bomber jacket, a wide-brimmed Panama hat and a package of cigarettes.”

He had his own props?

That fits...

[jackv]

And this is a real hunk...not a cissy boy...

[massgopguy]

You will never see photos of Obama getting his hands dirty.
