?w=753Left: Kelli Allmans OAHUAN 1979 Yearbook.
Right: Obama wrote the above note in Allmans yearbook at the end of his senior year in 1979.
Barry spent his days at the Punahou School in Hawaii studying, shooting hoops and goofing off with his friends. Greg Orme, a fellow varsity basketball player, was Obamas constant companion. They were like brothers, says Allman. On prom night, the pair double-dated. Obama and his date Megan Hughes, a student at the Hawaii School for Girls at La Pietra, joined Orme at Allmans house, where the two couples sipped champagne before going to the dance and then an after-party. It was a really fun, happy time. We were all cracking up, and everyone was smiling, says Allman. It was pretty typical from there out as far as what happens at prom: the dinner and the dancing and the photos.
Millions of American teenagers will go to proms this year. Their photos are more likely to be stored on Facebook than in a shoe box. But its fun to imagine that in one of those pictures, theres a girl in a pastel dress or a lanky guy in a white sport coat who will end up becoming the leader of the free world.

"I didn't think that - muslim terrorists raised from the womb to take over the free world and reveal the apocalypse on behalf of their lord satan in a secret plot hatched by their extremist Kenyan father who had the foresight to register a fake birth notice in a hawaiian newspaper as part of a global conspiracy set in to motion by the socialists - went to proms."

(15,512 posts)use semicolons in their yearbook notes? But what's really funny is that it's hard to tell from the photos which is BO's date. Hate to say this but it looks like all three are.
Botany
(70,494 posts)... semicolons. BTW much of the right wing hates President Obama because he is everything they
are not; Smart, educated, smooth w/the ladies* and the guys, a good athlete (state champ in b-ball)
he can sing Al Green, well written & spoken, a good father and husband, and thanx to all of his
community organizing skills he can run a hell of Presidental campaign and kick their asses. The man
has major game.

(17,199 posts)They are freaking out that our president is pictured with white women.
No wonder they are so hostile to gay marriage. They still haven't gotten over interracial dating and marriage.
Remember, this is the group that wants to take this country back! (back to the 1950's)
