Pimp of the Year

A series of photos newly discovered by Time magazine were taken three decades ago and capture 20-year-old college student Barack "Barry" Obama suavely striking a pose and dragging on a cigarette.


Taken during a 1980 photo shoot by Occidental College pal Lisa Jack, the snapshots show that the freshman was already showing off the quiet confidence of a future president.

Is he supposed to be Cheech or Chong? The 3rd picture looks a bit fruity.

He kind of looks like one of the pimps from Taxi Driver.
