Answer: Choom.
Question: What’s the sound of David Axelrod’s weekend getting ruined?
A new book on Barack Obama reveals fresh details about the president’s youthful days as an avid smoker of marijuana — a time when he and his fellow weed smokers called themselves the “Choom Gang.”
Among the highlights:
— Obama was known for his interceptions. This is the act of joining a circle of people passing around a joint, taking a hit and yelling, “Intercepted!”
— Obama and his friends at the Punahou School in Hawaii called themselves the “Choom Gang” — choom means smoking weed — and drove around in a Volkswagen bus called the “Choomwagon.”
— Obama and his crew enjoyed what they called “roof hits,” smoking pot inside a car with all the windows rolled up to maximize the amount of smoke they inhaled.
Why did Obama put his dog on the roof of the car? So it wouldn’t get stoned.

Why did Obama eat dog? Because the damn mutt ate his pot.
Watch for Choompuppy brownies in Mooshell’s next cookbook.

He’s doing the same thing now! Except that it’s with people’s money. “Intercepting”, that is.
F’ing freeloader!

Too much time, thanks for the old R. Crumb cartoon. I forgot about that one, its still as funny now as it was then back in the 70′s.

When it comes to “shocking revelations” about Obama, I remain deeply cynical about any negative effect they have on him. His entire being is a cult of personality. What he says, what he does or has said or done in the past isn’t relevant to the people who support him.
Does anyone here think that his “evolving” stance on gay marriage, for example, has cost him a single vote? Was there a single white leftist put off by his obvious bigotry and antagonism towards them? Will this “choom gang” story matter one bit to a single Obama supporter? Not in my observation!
