Most folks in the media don’t care and will refuse to question Obama or his staff about his grades.

We know virtually nothing about Obama’s past as the media has refused to do similar reporting like they did with Clinton, Kerry, Bush, Gore, etc.

Makes you wonder why it was so important to report about Bush’s past alcoholism but the complete lack of curiosity about Obama self-admitted felonious drug use.

“Junkie. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn’t make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate’s sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you’d met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection. And if the high didn’t solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world’s ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism.”

Source: Dreams from My Father, by Barack Obama, p. 87 Aug 1, 1996

“Obama confesses to getting high in order to “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” (page 93) He cites using marijuana and cocaine, but he explicitly assures his readers that he did not use crack.(page 93).”

It's hard not to laugh out loud knowing that was written by Bill "I was born a poor black chile" Ayers.

Yet Larry Sinclair said that on BOTH occasions with him, Obama insisted upon smoking crack "during." Larry himself only snorted a little cocaine at the first meeting, nothing at the second, but loverboy Barack pulled out his little crack pipe both times.
