MEXICO CITY – First lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday that reducing the demand for illegal drugs needs an approach much broader than just warning young people to stay away from them.

"If young people don't have an alternative in their lives, whatever country they're in, they're going to choose drugs, they're going to choose (the) drug trade. That's the way they make money," Mrs. Obama told reporters from six U.S. media outlets after a speech to several thousand young people during her first international trip as first lady.

But she left the issue out of her public remarks in a country wracked by drug violence.

Nearly 23,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon sent tens of thousands of troops and federal police to combat drug cartels, according to government figures.

"The first lady also held up herself and President Barack Obama as proof that "potential can be found in some of the most unlikely places." Neither Obama is a product of privilege; both came from humble circumstances. Her parents weren't wealthy or college-educated. He never really knew his father and was raised by his mother."

PURE BS.

An alternative?

OK, let us start a world wide youth army to fight socialism!!

[AmusedBystander]

It’s going to take a much bigger dosage of drugs for me to tolerate the Obowma administration.

The Michelle and Chavez Show. Does she know what the unemployment among blacks 16-26 is -— It’s near 50%. All she can do is spout this drivel.

Did you watch the PBS frontline TV show “The Hugo Chavez Show”. It is a few years back when Chavez was just transforming Venezuela to a commie paradise.

If you need to know where these stupid people come from, you should watch.

Actually, Michelle, you horse-faced ass, that is all it takes.

If those who used illegal drugs for recreational purposes simply decided to stop using them, it would pretty much shut down the market for them.

Once again, Obammie and his Commies can only criticize their predecessors and are incapable of coming up with real solutions.

Well she should know I beleive Barry sold drugs for money

If young people don't have an alternative truth in their lives, whatever country they're in, they're going to choose drugs hope and change, they're going to choose (the) drug trade despots like the Obamas.

Hey, Ma Belle, how about another billion or so for midnight basketball? It sure worked well for bubba !!

Can't believe our tax dollars are being wee-weed away on this farcical junket.

Good grief!

...they're going to choose drugs, they're going to choose (the) drug trade. That's the way they make money," Mrs. Obama told reporters...

Idiot. It's their ILLEGALITY that brings the $ into the drug trade. This is just another one of the many negative aspects that the Progressive Movement of the early 20th Century has brought upon our nation.

[Bahbah]

They are actually trying to turn the Wookie into a viable political candidate. It is amazing. It will not work.

[AmishDude]

Maybe we need harsher penalties for dealers of very dangerous stuff like crack.

Oh wait, that’s racist.

[True Republican Patriot]

The First Moron should know! living with a Drug Crazed MORON like she does!

[AmishDude]

And you are quite right about the BS:

Barack Obama was raised by a bank vice president and sent to private schools.

Michelle Robinson’s father, though not college-educated, was a powerful member of the union and Democrat precinct captain.

The Obamas love to screw the middle class in order to deal with the envy they have of the upper crust. They are consumed with envy. The greediest people I know are the ones who claim they don’t care about money.

>"It's their ILLEGALITY that brings the $ into the drug trade."

Prohibition of alcohol gave us the Kennedys, Capone, Chicago, and ultimately, ya know who!

Prohibition of a gift from G_d is gonna be a lot worse! Genesis 1:29

"Mrs. Obama: Drug Problem Needs More Than 'Say No'"

You betcha!

[Cobra64]

"Ice cream is great when you're stoned."

[Iron Munro]

Hey!

Why not give them more free stuff, hand out more free money and eliminate any requirement that they actually do anything with their lives other than lay around doing drugs, fornicating and whining about the unfairness of America?

But wait!!!!

That’s what the Obama administration is already doing.
