Woah!…Obama was young once! Who knew?
Look at these photos from the ‘Time’ photo essay, ‘Obama: The College Years’. These photos were taken of the soon-to-be-ruler-of-the-world, Barack Obama, back in 1980 when he was just 20 years old and a freshman in Occidental College, Los Angeles. They were taken by an aspiring photographer, Lisa Jack, that went to college with him. She asked him to let her take some photos of him posing and he agreed and she’s kept the photos ever since! I must say, he’s not a bad model, not bad at all. And, just to poke fun…check out the fro’!
However, I do like the clothes, like a lot, especially in the 2nd one. V retro. Though I guess it wasn’t back then. Not quite as cool…
