Most of us probably have a very vivid picture of how a US president looks. However, before men become the most powerful people in the free world, they are regular guys just like us. For example, Harry S. Truman was a timekeeper in the railway, while Andrew Johnson was a tailor.

To illustrate that one day they were just like us, Bored Panda has collected a list of portraits of US presidents when they were young. You can barely recognize them, and if you think presidency is an easy job - take a look at how presidents look before and after their terms in office.

If someone had asked me which photo I thought would be number one on this list of presidents and I had to guess. I would have bet everything I own that it would be this guy. I hope everyone enjoyed the cool-aid they drank.

Looks like it was photoshopped in. Kind of weird looking.

YEP!, I've missed that dud since January 20, 2017, the change I neither wanted or needed and what kind of deals he was making with his Raghead Jihadist buddies. Thanks be to God for the Red Blooded, 100% American in Washington now!

Well now I see this post has an agenda. SMH......googled "young photos of Obama" many photos without smokes, like the rest of the portrayed presidents. Would like to know who chose the pictures for this.

Do you really think this photo, and presumably, his administration, were head and shoulders above everyone else?? While Idiots abound in government, anyone that thinks this DUDE was a great President is seriously fu"`%#up?

Maybe he is the only one of The POTUS that eat Nasi Goreng and Bakso when young.
