That is a Photo of Barack Obama at his senior Prom back in 1979.

Proof positive with none of that fabricated talking points nonsense.

Look how they have draped themselves in marijuana leaves as though undertaking some ritualistic
unequally yoked ceremony!!!

The proof that Obama is a revolutionary socialist (and, at one point, an unalloyed Marxist-Leninist) have come to us via other associations, not necessarily present in this photo.

But you wouldn't know about that, would you?

Okay, so Ashton Kutcher went on a double-date with an interracial couple. How does that prove that he lived a Nigerian, Commie, Nazi Prom Existence?

No one who evaluates actual facts and evidence would believe that conspiratorial fantasy. Judging by reality, the president is essentially a centrist who has been governing from the center-right.

Of course, when you are standing all the way in the back of the south end zone, even someone standing on your own 48 yard line looks like a leftist to you.

This kind of thing is intended to shock and destabilize one's rational faculties, kind of like throwing ice water on the head of the coach when he isn't looking.

Calling Obama center-right is nothing more than the intellectual equivalent of running your fingernails across a blackboard.

And I suspect you know it is.

Riiiight.

Perhaps you have missed the fact that so many of us actual progressives have been quite disappointed in his tendency to give in to -- and compromise too easily with -- the crazy right-wingers in Congress, while willingly abandoning good liberal causes. I suppose it's not surprising that you missed that, given your propensity to wallow in the seedy on-line world of Obama hate porn. That must severely skew reality for you.

Just a few examples:
- He gave up on a more efficient, single-payer health care system before the debate even started, opting instead to push the Dole/Romney-style solution that we are stuck with now.

- After an initial minor effort, he immediately abandoned the concept of using government spending to stimulate the economy and create jobs in a terrible economic crisis. Instead, he adopted the language and actions of austerity, agreeing to cutting spending (and federal employees) to address the imagined boogyman of deficits, making the economy worse.

- He continued, and even escalated, Bush's arrogant path of foreign interference, sending ever more armed drones to bomb people in sovereign countries with whom we are not at war, creating even more hatred of America in Muslim countries such as Pakistan.

Go ahead and compare the president to a real socialist, such as Bernie Sanders, and you see a very different kind of person. Other than things like gay rights (support for which is now very much mainstream), he's acting mostly center-right, as I said.
