Buried Lede: Did Young Barack Obama Hit On Best Friend�s
Prom Date In Yearbook?

Earlier today, Mediaite brought you Time magazine�s
exclusive photo of an adorkable 1979 prom foursome that
included a 17 year-old Barack Obama. The photo was
provided by Kelli Allman, prom date of the young future
POTUS� best friend,�Greg Orme. Along with the prom photo,
Allman gave Time a shot of the yearbook page that Obama
inscribed, which raised this observer�s eyebrows,
slightly, by suggesting �I hope we can keep in touch this
summer, even though Greg will be gone.�
I didn�t really look at the picture that closely, though,
and only read the quote from the Mediaite post. Upon
closer examination, it looks like maybe young Barack was
dropping a hook in the water.
As a formerly-17 year-old guy (in 1985, to be fair), it
already strains credibility that while Greg was away, his
pal only wanted to play, like, Scrabble over lunch. But
maybe he was just a good guy with a short list of dining
companions. Wonkette�s Rebecca Schoenkopf helpfully
transcribed Barack Obama�s yearbook message to Kelli
Allman, complete with totally NSFW footnotes:
