President Barack Obama has a stern message for the younger generation about their political priorities: care more about climate change, and less about legalizing marijuana.
Obama, who has been open about smoking pot in high school, chided an interviewer from Vice News who suggested that young people would view legalizing marijuana as a top item when considering the president's legacy.
"First of all, it shouldn't be young people's biggest priority," Obama said in the interview with Vice News.
"Young people: I understand this is important to you, but as you be thinking about climate change, the economy and jobs, war and peace, maybe way at the bottom you should be thinking about marijuana," Obama said.

Does this mean they aren’t adding the Choom Gang Museum wing to the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library?

So Obama is essentially saying "Do as I say, not as I do."
Obama is such a great role model! /s

How “American” like when he needs the support. That illegal bastard child has been playing politics all along the way and could care less about what is GOOD for this country, it’s all about HIM.

Odd, you’d think he’d want more kids to be stoned so they can’t see through the idiotic arguments and policies advocated by the fascist/liberals.

Interesting picture. Not one “Shakka” (you know the thumb and pinky wave from Hawaii). Nearly any picture of anyone who lives in Hawaii throws up a Shakka. Just an observation.
