I suppose if the media wants to talk about whether Mitt Romney was a bully in high school, it is relevant then to talk about what a big pothead Barry was in high school with his Choom Gang buddies. Apparently Barry even gave a nod in his high school year book to his drug dealer, Ray, who years later was beaten to death with a ball-peen hammer by his scorned gay lover. Barry's Choom Gang liked riding around in his buddy's VW van known as the Choomwagon getting high. Barry had a knack for interceptions, a term used to describe getting a hit from a joint out of turn as it was being passed around. See Buzzfeed's "User's Guide To Smoking Pot With Barack Obama" for more details. If Obama had been prosecuted under the same drug laws that he supports today as so many of his contemporaries were, he wouldn't be President today.
David Maraniss' new biography on Obama takes a closer look at Obama's drug use in high school and college. ABC's Jonathan Karl has this passage about the time Obama and his friends were drag racing the Choomwagon and another friend's Toyota up a mountain road when the Toyota in which Obama was riding went off the road and rolled:
Of course, smoking, drinking and driving on mountain roads could also be a little dangerous. Especially the night they tried drag racing.
The race to the top of Mount Tantalus pitted the “Choomwagon” against another friend’s Toyota. Obama was in the Toyota. The Choomwagon made it to the top first. When the other car didn’t show up, those in the Choomwagon drove back down to find them. Here’s how Maraniss describes what happened next:
“On the way down, they saw a figure who appeared to be staggering up the road. It was Barry Obama. What was going on? As they drew closer, they noticed that he was laughing so hard he could barely stand up.”
His friend had rolled the car. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. And, amazingly, they avoided trouble by leaving the driver alone to deal with the police by claiming it was just an unfortunate “mishap.”

It is beginning to appear that Barack will not be allowed a second term as president.
If everything in the Maraniss book is true, it is impossible to believe that the TriLateral Commission had created Obama to become president.
Maraniss is paid to write biographies that disinform us about his subjects. I recall that back during the 2008 presidential race some of the people who knew Obama when he was younger reacted with surprise to his drug-using claims because they never knew him as someone who used drugs. Keep in mind that Bill Ayers ghost wrote "Dreams From My Father" and likely co-mingled stories of his own childhood into the book to make the character more interesting. Maraniss also writes about the so-called "composite girlfriends" as Obama describes them in "Dreams." Obama didn't date women and he was not a good student. The real mystery is how someone who never stood out academically goes from Occidental to Columbia and then to Harvard. There's a reason he won't release his transcripts as other presidents have done. He picked a pretend wife he meets at Harvard who agreed to be part of the "fairy tale" as Bill Clinton describes it. She was going to dump him after he got his ass kicked by Bobby Rush in that 2000 congressional election and they were deeply in debt with about $50,000 in credit card debt. Four years later he is elected to the Senate and is already a millionaire. Yes, lots of questions that need answered. As some serious journalists answer questions for us there are always paid disinformants like Maraniss to appear on the scene with more made up tales to confuse us.
