This Was President Barack Obama’s Prom Night [PICTURES]

Regardless of where you stand politically, ya gotta admit, President Obama is one smooth ["....shut 'yo mouth, I'm just talkin' about the prez!"] cat. And he's had the swagger since he was in high school.

Check out these just-released photos of the Commander-in-Chief from his prom night.

He kind of reminds me of the "original" Michael Jackson...before the face work.

And here's what he wrote in a friend's yearbook...apparently he was known as "Barry" to his friends! Somehow I have a hard time seeing him as a "Barry".

(As an aside, it appears he's calling his female friend "sweat"...meaning "sweet"...but could just be the handwriting. Remember: Don't sweat the small stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.)
