I don’t think he can do that by executive order.
Lots of conservatives oppose the War on (Some) Drugs. So it might backfire.
The fly in the ointment getting those dirty hippies motivated enough to stagger to the polls before they close on election day.
the stoner vote?! i wouldn’t bet on it. loyalty is lost on them.
I think Obammy probably has a considerable arsenal packed away for use at the right time.
Obama’s only real chance at all is if he repeals a bunch of MAJOR anti-gun laws along with passing or using EO’s to bring gun owners over to his side.
It’s a very slim chance but it’s the only one he has to have a chance of re-election. Unless that idiot Romney steps on his own crank like a lot of Republicans seem to like to do.
If so all it does is pathetic how childish and desperate he is.
It’ll make more Dems.
It should be legal. I’ve never smoked it in my entire life but I see no reason why we should continue to spend billions and lock up huge amounts of people in the furtherance of a failed war on drugs.
Prohibition failed on booze and it has failed here too for many of the same reasons. People should be left to make their own decisions and if they choose to do stupid things the nanny state shouldn’t be there to stop them.
Honestly I think booze causes more human misery and it certainly makes people more dangerous and aggressive.
HIs Harvard student f@gs cannot pimp compete in crack cocaine revenues the way the street thugs can, thus Zero and his ilk want the rights to it.

And it started with handing contraceptive and abortions in the alleys, now liberals want the rights to dope your children to make them easy to control and rape.
I don’t think that Obama would do that for a simple reason.
The union vote. With marijuana no longer federally prosecuted, the jobs of tens of thousands of police, prison guard, and other unionized personnel would become surplus.
Like it or not, keeping marijuana illegal is a huge business.
Yeah I really don’t see why Romney doesn’t just beat him to the punch.
Confession: I’ve never smoked weed, mostly because I think it smells like a$$, but also because everyone I knew who smoked weed was super boring and it didn’t look fun.
Still, I’ve never seen anyone smoke weed and do anything destructive except drive a car. And I’ve seen drunk people do ridiculous, violent things.
So put me down for “Meh. Legalize it.”
Only if it can be paid for by their EBT cards.
Cheers!
Not just the Paulobots. He`d solidify the youth vote ( under 25 ) and secure the left wing.
The dominant left-wing media would of course glowingly report the issue with their messiah going on a campus tour like some rock star.
Could be the jolt of enthusiasm that propels the messiah past the post in November.
It`s that or launch a war to freeze the electorate into re-electing him.
