Barack Obama "dabbled" in Cocaine

Remember this? Somehow, it didn't disqualify theWON for POTUS. In fact, it didn't even seem to affect his image at the time he made it public.

Poor Larry Sinclair...he admits he did lots of bad acts in the past, but I do believe he's not a crook anymore. And, I think the story of the crack/coke, lost weekend bromance in a crappy motel rings true.

Old Barry hides behind his beard MegaButt, but come on...anyone here see the pic of him sitting REAL close to that ugly little middle eastern guy in college? Ummmm...I know enough about men to know a hetero guy would never sit this close to another hetero guy. Also, lots of gay men in Chicago all “know” that he and Rahm used to frequent a seedy gay bath house, MAN'S COUNTRY, in the 90’s. Lately: A TV actor last year...got him a job in the admin—then a lovers spat or MegaButt caught on...and he was suddenly back in L.A. Now...it's his body man (tee-hee) Reggie Love.

I can't wait until the truth about this fraud really starts coming out and those fools that fell for him feel shame and embarrassment.

Well, you certainly have your opinion....However I've known lots of people that did coke on an occasional basis, quit and would never think of doing it again. Some people can do heroin occasionally, though I wouldn't try that, either! Meth...that's a tricky one. I do think most people should NEVER give that poison a go...quite addicting, even after one time.

I had friends, a young married couple, that smoked 4 cigs each a week for years. 2 each Fri & Sat with 2 adult beverages. I thought they were very cool. Cigs are VERY hard to do occasionally.

I dabbled in dabbleing until I got out dabbled

Any have mysterious heart problems after they quit?

[cynwoody]

According to Larry Sinclair, that ain’t all he dabbled in.

Well, according to Lar, he dabbled in ... Lar.

[Pigsley]

Sorry...I’m not understanding.

[Amerikan_Samurai]

I knew it!! He acted (and still does) stupidly.

[Stentor]

Sorry...I’m not understanding.

I've known people that have had arrhythmias way after they stopped using. Don't know if it's connected or not.

[Finny]

You are 100 percent wrong. In my wild and wanton youth, I snorted coke many times. Never got addicted to it -- not even close.

[Pigsley]

Oh...hmmmmm. That very well may be caused by cocaine use...I’m no Doc.

I was only referring to some people I used to know/work with in LA. Lots of them tried coke a few times, more than a few...just didn’t get hooked.

Personally, that stuff scares me.

[Finny]

Speaking from my own long-past experiences, NOPE. Nor did they come up in others I've known who snorted coke on an occasional basis. Coke is bad enough as it is; it can ruin the lives of those who actually do become addicted -- but in my opinion, it had more to do with weakness of character than the strength of cocaine. Lies and exaggerations as to its harmuful effects only boomerang because young people with some experience in the matter say, "Well, I know they're lying about coke ... what stupid lies are they telling me about other drigs?"

[Finny]

I've known people that have had arrhythmias way after they stopped using. Don't know if it's connected or not.

Ah -- that explains your thought. That's an interesting idea -- I do remember how horribly rapid my heartbeat was when I was "frying" on the stuff. Praise my Almighty God and Beloved Jesus that I survived and am away from all that now. If I WERE to get arrhythmias 30+ years later ... it would serve me right. :^(

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

i’ve always believed Larry Sinclair from day one

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

what a great post-my thoughts exactly as i expressed them to those in my family who were planning to vote for this clown at the time.

[pallis]

I think Badcrack is still dabbling in a little coke. It would go a long ways towards explaining why he stutters and stammers, and can’t concentrate without his teleprompter. I doubt he has the discipline to quit drugs anymore than he has it to stop smoking.

[Del Rapier]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[cranked]

...and now he has progressed to smoking crack, forgive the pun.... /s =.=

[Vaduz]

Now the mediaq questions who’s my daddy Obama’s past?.

[granite]

100% Wrong? You are saying that no body ever gets addicted?

[Finny]

I think Badcrack is still dabbling in a little coke.

Me too. His head, his jaws, and his eyes have the hard, tense, lean look of the cokeheads I used to know. I didn't recognize it at first because it's been so long since I was around those folks, but it seemed familiar. Now I place it -- it puts me in mind of some goofs I knew back then.
