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.

I wish he would go back to that stinking sewer he came from!

Interesting....didn’t realize he used coke “when he could afford it.” I’m guessing he can “afford it” all of the time now. Apparently heavy use can cause depression:

“It is well-known that cocaine increases levels of the brain chemical dopamine, resulting in the “high” that abusers feel. Prolonged use of the drug, however, may reduce dopamine levels, making it harder for abusers to experience positive feelings.” http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/coke/a/blnida030501.htm

He thinks pills will cure our country’s depression - oops - sorry recession? But seriously - Obama is a f....ng moron. He is just trotted out everyday to make a speech that someone else wrote for him. What the hell is going on now with defunding Obamacare? Just heard Rush mention something that Rep Steve King is doing. Can anyone out there say what that is all about? Rush said something about a section in the law that says $100 million, or was it billions, a year is marked for implementing the law.
