WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said he doesn't think marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."

"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol," the president said an interview with "The New Yorker" magazine.

This is a good thing? Does he think this was a good thing? Does he still get high? How about making Pot legal with an excutive Order? along with Amnestry and $20 Mim. Wage, and Reparation to all people of color. All Blacks get $50,000 for slavery! Half Blacks, $25,000.

There is a rumour that the ho’ he had been soliciting was a TRANSVESTITE ho.

At the very least that part of downtown Honolulu is well-known for that particular sexual product.

That Obozo is our first pothead president is NOT true. I can name three for sure, and suspect a half dozen others.

"The president said he is troubled at the disproportionate number of arrests and imprisonments of minorities for marijuana use. 'Middle-class kids don't get locked up for smoking pot, and poor kids do," he said. "And African-American kids and Latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have the resources and the support to avoid unduly harsh penalties.'"

Failure to enforce the law for one group is no excuse for failure to enforce the law. Government officials are responsible for enforcing the law.

A percentage of American fools see genius and superior intelligence in the likes of evildoers like Obama and the infamous Clinton duo.

What I observe in the case of BO is an irritating delivery of obfuscation and confusion in short choppy meaningless sentences. He makes no sense as he is utterly senseless.

In the case of both Clintons they are, without a doubt, two of the most boring nitwits that rank #2 and #3 behind the Muslim.

Now. Where are our fiery Conservative orators who cry for the impeachment and removal of this cancer growing on our nation and killing it? Instead we see them on C-Span prancing about the chambers embracing their opponents like they’re in love with them.

I say, the end of this gentlemen and gentlewomen nonsense and the realization that those who oppose very small central government are the enemies of America!

Who says the wookie is ‘doing him’?

The girls are rented. Either that or someone stepped in to do the geek a political favor.
