--Over the weekend, rumors hit the World Wide Web of Misinformation that Obama appeared in the video for the TAG TEAM song "Whoomp! (There It Is)" back in 1993.
One minute and one second into the video, you see a light-skinned black guy wearing gold rings and a Compton hat, talking on an old-school cell phone.
--The guy is wearing sunglasses but smiles at the camera . . . and, well, he looks an awful lot like Barack Obama. And, since Obama has talked about how he's a hip-hop fan, it's not TOTALLY out of the question that he once was an extra in a video.
--BUT . . . now, for the reality check. It doesn't REALLY add up that it's Obama . . . in '93, Obama was a Harvard Law School graduate and a 31-year-old community activist in Chicago . . . probably NOT hanging around rap video shoots in Atlanta.
(Gawker)
(--Here's the video. "Obama" shows up at 1:01 . . .)
(--And here's a screenshot, along with a photo of Obama . . .)
