Another reason to hop on the Barack Obama bandwagon: As an undergrad at Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Obama -- who went by the more informal "Barry" at school -- was a fan of one of Eagle Rock's culinary treasures, the L.A. Times reports:
Though some express surprise at his current prominence, classmates recall a slim, good-looking teen with a moderate Afro, a taste for Casa Bianca's Hawaiian-style pizza (pineapple and ham) and a role in protesting college investments in firms doing business in South Africa during the apartheid era.
Obama (above, in his student days, via the LAT) spent two years at Occidental before moving on to Columbia University.
So if you're keeping score: Obama's from Hawaii. And he loves Casa Bianca pizza. As someone else from Hawaii with a love for the Casa Bianca pies, so far so good.
