With a trio of scandals swirling around the White House, President Barack Obama could use some good press. Time magazine did its best to deliver just that on Thursday, releasing some vintage photos of a then 17-year-old Obama on prom night.
The magazine obtained the photos from Kelli Allman (née McCormack), Obama's classmate at Punahou School in Hawaii. The images, taken at Allman’s parents’ house in Honolulu, show a smiling Obama, in a white sports coat and draped in a lei, with his arm around his date, Megan Hughes, a student at La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls, alongside Allman and her date, Greg Orme, a fellow varsity basketball player and Obama's best friend at the time.
"The two couples sipped champagne before going to the dance and then an afterparty," Time reports.
“It was a really fun, happy time," Allman recalled. “It was pretty typical from there out as far as what happens at a prom: the dinner and the dancing and the photos.”
Allman also shared the note the future U.S. president wrote in her high school yearbook.
"It has been so nice getting to know you this year," Obama wrote. "You are extremely sweet and foxy, I don't know why Greg would want to spend any time with me at all! You really deserve better than clowns like us; you even laugh at my jokes!"
MTW-The thing which I cannot reconcile is that this is 1979, in Hawaii. When did he come back from Indonesia? For high school? Were you an American Citizen, why then did you get scholarships to 2 (two) different colleges as a foreign student from Indonesia? These pictures are merely a distraction from his scandals which are raising more questions of his history in my mind, and Citizenship. You were either a foreign student in college, and still a foreign Citizen ineligible for the Presidency; or perpetuated fraud all the way to Harvard. Your passport says that you traveled to Pakistan in 1981, yet Americans could not go there at that time. Our supposed leader is a lying POS. I did not even get to go to my prom, and here he is, acting as if he has always lived as an American in timely released photos (Time Magazine), which they did not think would make those of us with a brain wonder about this man's timeline of life? Why did you pay to cover up your past, and now release tidbits of info whenever you and Eric or Hilary create a scandal as a distraction- a misdirection like a magician? The United States government is now impotent to the World because of you, and those whom have placed you there are as guilty as you are. Also, you have said, and I quote, "I'm Christian". Not quite the correct way to say it Mr. Muslim. It is as follows: I am a Christian, or I am a born-again Christian idiot. A few filmed frames of you and Michelle with the kids attending church would be a good plan. Still waiting for that. It was also underage drinking (except we do not know how old you are) to go with your pot smoking Occidental college years- and Columbia University as Barry Soetoro. FRAUD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
