Look Whats in My Right Hand Not My Left: Obama posts his Prom Photo

This has to be the worst case of trying to distract the press that I have seen in a long time.

The magazine obtained the photos from Kelli Allman (née McCormack), Obama's classmate at Punahou School in Hawaii. The images, taken at Allman’s parents’ house in Honolulu, show a smiling Obama, in a white sports coat and draped in a lei, with his arm around his date, Megan Hughes, a student at La Pietra Hawaii School for Girls, alongside Allman and her date, Greg Orme, a fellow varsity basketball player and Obama's best friend at the time.

Just in time to distract people from the three scandals swirling. What is funny about that article is it has this caption to the photo.

Wait he isn't the blond in the blue dress? Or the stoned guy in the navy blazer? I'm glad Time Magazine cleared that up for us.
