[ReverendJames]

Well whoopie-ding ... now we know. But that’s ok cuz he’s Barry. Now if it came out that say, Rush Limbaugh was using prescription drugs, oh, wait.

I thought antidepressants made you gain weight.

The drugs — apparently used to help Barack battle depression — are a “cocaine-like” stimulant, according to Globe.

"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof-off in high school as my mom reminded me," said Obama, who grew up in Hawaii. "You know, I made some bad decisions that I've actually written about. You know, got into drinking. I experimented with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time that I didn't really apply myself a lot. It wasn't until I got out of high school and went to college that I started realizing, 'Man, I wasted a lot of time.' " .... Obama has written about his drug use in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father." Mostly he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, Obama wrote, but occasionally he would snort cocaine when he could afford it.

Must be Stupid Pills!

The commenters after the article are a wee bit angry.

...are a “cocaine-like” stimulant...
Ritalin?!

[kbennkc]

If they are prescribed by a doctor, no harm can come from it.

[b4its2late]

Oxycottin?

Stimulant drugs cause cocaine-like brain changes
They said healthy mice exposed to daily injections of the Novartis (NOVN.VX) drug Ritalin, or methylphenidate, developed changes in the reward centers of their brains, and some of these changes resembled those in mice given cocaine.

Snip...Millions of children take stimulants such as Ritalin and Shire Plc's (SHP.L) Adderall to treat ADHD, a condition marked by restlessness, impulsiveness, inattention and distractibility that can interfere with a child's ability to pay attention in school and maintain social relationships.

It's HIV.

His backround certainly would add credibility to this. He’s a 2 bit thug from drug soaked Chicago. He’s weak of character, which would lead to abuse in order to escape the responsibility that he’s never had before...just having a job. Having an actual schedule of things to do and being awakened by an alarm clock is probably all it took.

[biggredd1]

for those who think leaks cant come from white house..[from yahoo news]...
Obama’s State of the Union address leaked out well in advance of his speech last month? Well, top White House aides certainly haven’t forgotten.

Per Politico’s Glenn Thrush, Obama’s senior political adviser David Plouffe and other White House aides are “quietly trying to ferret out who leaked” the speech. Plouffe, Thrush reports, is particularly troubled because the draft had been circulated among only a small group of “trusted Obama hands.”

[RichInOC]

Never mind him. I think the entire senior Democratic leadership is high on something.

[sodpoodle]

Has he been using smoking cessation nicotine patches, gum etc.,???

or Chantix?

Was he covered with nicotine patches when shirtless photos were forbidden?

Just wondering’)

[WayneS]

Hmmmm.

I thought maybe it was AIDS.

[goldi]

Gee, and I thought it was worms or something.

[Siena Dreaming]

Michelle must be on pills too.

That would explain the boob belts.

[NormsRevenge]

It would explain his golf game.

[The Comedian]

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.
