Oops! Obama Offends DEA With Drug War Comments

Barack Obama insulted -- albeit inadvertently -- the folks at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration today by mentioning the FBI instead of their agency in remarks about the war on drugs.

At a town hall meeting in Washington aired on MTV, the president told a group of young people that his administration is serious about "federal drug enforcement."

Some DEA agents were insulted, saying the DEA is the lead agency on the war on drugs, not the FBI.

"That just goes to show his lack of knowledge," said one DEA agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Again, it shows me his inadequate knowledge of drug law enforcement. He has no clue."

Another DEA agent said it was reflective of the administration's lack of concern about the DEA. The agent pointed out that Michele Leonhart has been leading the agency for years but has yet to be confirmed as the No. 1 person, and many top positions have gone unfilled. Leonhart has served as acting head since 2007, and the president nominated her for the permanent post in February.

William R. Coonce, a former DEA official who headed the Detroit office, said sarcastically: "Well, now I understand why Michele Leonhart hasn't been confirmed. The president doesn't know we exist."

Did any kids ask him about his own admitted use of marijuana and cocaine?

“Pathetic” doesn’t describe this piece of dung.

I think that's a little harsh. After all you really can't blame this error on him, this one clearly lies at the feet of TOTUS.

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

0bama is the definition of a travesty.

What a silly marionette he is.

Zer0 is a law enforcement moron? Where is the surprise in that.

If the DEA guys want to protest the incompetence of their anointed leader, they could sign up for Oath Keepers, but don't hold your breath.

Nah... what was meant was, "he always has someone else buy them, so he wouldn't know about enforcement..."

I don’t think it’s harsh at all. There has been no Director at the DEA, only an acting Director - which shows a lack of involvement, communication, and interest.

[unkus]

He’s a silly, classless weirdo who is totally out of his league ..... even in the Hood where he belongs. What a dispicable excuse for a piece of dung.

LOL! More and more, The Won's cluelessness is being spoken of "officially."

If we were to END the unconstitutional war on some drugs, why would we NEED a bunch of FedGoon DEA scum?

Drug use, on the other hand, he has a great deal of knowledge about.

That's pretty much true across the spectrum of human knowledge.
0barky is the definition of cluelessness. He's a real contender in the classless category too.

I don't care who you are; that there is funny. lol

[pandoraou812]

Yes it is lmao.

The DEA is one step above BATFe. If both agencies were abolished tomorrow, we’d be heading in the right direction.

Just how many MORE people do you want to have to compete with for the six 7-11 clerk jobs left in the US by 2012??? /sarc

In his books, he said he wasn’t just a user, he was a part-time dealer, helping the family friends with the distribution.
