The above image is circulating via email. It might hit your in-box today.
It’s what Rick Perry looked like, and was up to at age 22…
versus what Obama looked like, and was up to at age 22.
Says a lot about who they are today, too, come to think of it.

Like the one that I might have seen here with Bibi Netanyahu looking all soldier-y and HOT contrasted with Obama as a youth…always in a fruity hat and smoking a cig.
Don't think that's a cig. Looks like a joint to me.
Hopefully American voters will make the right choice this time. They did pick the ZERO over the HERO in '08.
Love the picture, though.
last time folks were so busy listening to hyperbole and vitriol from the campaign trail that they didn't realize until too late that they were being used…
I see a very weak sea change, let's pray MSM gets taken down – notice the excitement over Romney when he has yet to answer any questions… here we go again.
Someone on Twitter removed O's picture & replaced it with W's. Funny part is of the 3 comments, one was negative-W, 1 was pro-W & the 3rd was mildly positive to W.
I think O is younger in this photo. When I first saw it, I thought he looks more like 16 than 22. Elsewhere on the interwebz I have seen it stated that it's a photo from his Hawaiian high school vacation … to me, that makes more sense. I think a better comparison would be that college photo of him lounging back with a smoke in a different hat … the photo that was paired with Bibi's luscious military photo awhile back …
… now if President Perry and Bibi were to have a meeting in the White House, that conversation would be worth listening to!
There was a series of photos including this one taken while Obama was in college. So he was out of high school anyway.
He may seem younger merely because he is so very *callow*–
Other pics of him posing have him in the same hat and shirt. Actually, I thought the same thing as you and went and looked them up for a review…
The photo is one of a series taken by a photographer while the President was in college. She asked him if he'd pose for her portfolio. He was about 19 or so.
Barry is never going to do well in these comparison things!
The picture scream the word: "Accomplishments" Who do you trust?
Love a man in uniform!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!
This pic of him makes me sick.. BLAH
The photo of Obama is when he was 18, not 22, and is taken from a Life Magazine spread. He was trying to look cool. We've all been there.
Is that really the best you do?
Which Life issue?

===================================
The economy is going to hell in a hand basket. Our enemies see us as vulnerable. America grows more divided every day thanks to the one who said he would "unite" the country. The promise for transparency in government disappeared on inauguration day. A tax cheat runs the IRS. A racist heads the Justice Department. The length of the list of failures and shortcomings is staggering.
The real question should be "is that the BEST Obama can do?"

The pics were taken from when he was in college and approached by a photographer for Time. Here's the whole series: http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,186…
Is Rick Perry Black? Is that why the two are being compared, Perry to Obama?
President Obama, the only black man to ever hold the highes office this country has to offer, would have been 22, in 1982-1983,
President Obama's bio shows the following events for the President in 1982-1983:
Obama struggled with the absence of his father. In 1982, Barack Obama's father died in a car accident . Obama, Jr. was 22 years old when he recived the news of his father's passing.
Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983 with a degree in political science.
Rick Perry is ten years older than our President. Perry attended Texas A&M University, was a member of the Corps of Cadets, and was a popular male cheerleader. Perry graduated in 1972 with a 2.5 GPA, earning a bachelor's degree in animal science.
So, how are these two compared, born ten years apart. Perry was a member of the corp. of cadets and a male cheerleader (just like George W. Bush !), and graduated with a knowlege of animal behavior.
President Barack Obama, graduated with a knowledge of government and political behavior.
