I follow many reporters on Twitter. They are usually free with their observations of the political scene—some more free than others. They have a caustic wit from years of covering hack politicians, but they also have a protective manner when it comes to President Barack Obama.
A case in point is Obama’s interview with NBC Sports’ Bob Costas taped Thursday but broadcast Friday evening as part of the network’s coverage of the opening ceremonies of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games. As reported last night at the Gateway Pundit, viewers took to Twitter last night to express their astonishment at how stoned Obama looked.
Obama’s eyelids drooped, his eyes looked bloodshot and one side of his mouth drooped as he spoke. That led to many people wondering if Obama, who has admitted to being a major druggie in high school and college, was high during the interview.
Notably missing from those expressing concern about the president’s apparent drug induced impairment were members of the ever-opinionating press. Only one reporter that I saw on Twitter expressed concern over Obama, asking what was wrong with his eyes.
If this had been President George W. Bush, who owned up to problems with alcohol as a young married man and quit drinking, the media would have been all over him last night and would be demanding answers from the White House today.
Before critics start saying this is just conservatives piling on Obama once again, I’ll remind you that one of the first to post a screen capture of what he thought was a “high” Obama was a liberal who later expressed concern how conservatives would use his screen grab of Obama.

Does anyone expect the Marxist Media to question their messiah?
Pray America Wakes Up
I figure he was high during the whole Benghazi episode.
A lot of people are sayin' he's high though. Just sayin'.
Or he is getting ready to have a cerebral vascular accident.
1. I don’t think Obama is high. That’s stupid.
2. I don’t know what pisses me off more. Bob Costas pretending to be a sports journalist, or Bob Costas pretending to be a political journalist.
3. The things Obama cares about are not the things I care about.
Certainly no fan of the Prez, but I don’t think he was stoned.
Granted, his whole spiel about the gay athletes was typical drivel.
Forgot about that one .Love “Silent Bob”
My guess too. I'm sure Valarie Jarrett could clarify the matter.

Hey, what do you expect, half the White House press corp is stoned.
[Disclaimer: I don't know that for a fact, but I've seen some of them close up].

Oh no! It looks like he’s “evolving” again! This time on his opinion of “recreational” marijuana.
Partisan Media Shills ping, thanks kristinn.
That’s why he whistles like a tea pot sometimes when he is lying to us...cottonmouth.
CBS 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW - WAS OBAMA HIGH?
I'm sure he uses cocaine, so it's doubtful he would revert back to Marijuana. Maybe he was coming down from a coke binge. Here is video evidence of his coke use:
Proof that he was high would be that his answers made sense.
The entire video is available if some think he is victim of numerous “bad screenshots” as posted all over the internet. If he wasn’t drugged, what was going on?
