The standards being applied to Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s fitness for high office would have killed the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, among other recent Democrats (Clinton and Kennedy, for starters). Bill Clinton has adopted a low public profile, and deployed Hillary’s ”Bimbo Eruptions” squad to silence and discredit the women “survivors” of his sexual aggression. But Barack Obama went on the record in 2001, and nobody cared about behavior in high school they now feign outrage over in the case of judge Kavanaugh.
Kudos to Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire for uncovering a video from 17 years ago in which Barack Obama discusses his own behavior in high school. Evaluating it in light of the claims used to pretend that Brett Kavanaugh was too degenerate in high school and college to merit membership on the Supreme Court reveals the utter hypocrisy of Kavanaugh’s opponents.
While it is true that the unsupported claims of rape attributed to Kavanaugh have no counterpart in Obama’s admissions, the “evidence” against Kavanaugh’s character including drinking and “ralphing” is pale compared to what Obama admits to.
-"I was a thug," a "mischievous child"
-"I got into fights."
-"I drank and did--and consumed substances that weren't always legal."
-"I might have drank a six-pack in an hour before going back to class"
In point of fact, most people not crazed by desire to maintain the Supreme Court as a means of imposing progressive social policy that is too unpopular to pass Congress understand that childhood foibles should not be held against anyone.

Obama on his adolescent years in a rare video of a 2001 interview:

If it wasn’t for double-standards, Democrats wouldn’t have any standards at all.
Bmrk
Can’t picture a young Obama in a fight. Unless it’s someone kicking HIS skinny ass....
Just remember this- maybe not today/maybe not tomorrow
but Obama will come under scrutiny and be sent to prison.
It might not even be in our lifetime but justice will
be served.
A slap fight maybe. Against a girl. He lost.
Obama looked like half-a-fruitcake from day 1.
You stole my post! :)
Too late now. Just think if obxxx had been vetted like some others. He’d be where he belongs right now. Orange jumper and a number for a name.
This interview doesnt seem to be on YouTube.
Or their search just happens to not be able to find it..
He never was constitutionally qualified to be POTUS. But the political / media / hollywood class didn't give a damn. In fact, for them, it's what was best for evil America.

When hypocritical lowlifes are in power, everyone they hate is a lowlife worthy of destruction. Yet they are so blinded by idolatry of self that they cannot see that the filth they sling onto the good man is their own.
Thug = stole money from his grandmother’s purse
Got into fights = was beaten up from time to time
Drank a six-pack = along with five other guys.
Lol! That’s by far more believable.
Fighting for the bong . . .
I can’t imagine Obama fighting any intact males. If so, he must’ve gotten his ass kicked a lot.
Obama’s whole life was scrubbed prior to his candidacy. Ford’s was, too, prior to her coming forward.
The position of the RNC should now be that evidence of scrubbing should be met as if it were an admission of unacceptable character and a fraud being perpetrated on the American electorate.
Barack Obama would have been given a pass by the MSM...
FreeRepublic had the drug use story on Obama - and the Croom gang he hung with - and the communist connections... the press never gave a damn because Obama had a D by is name.
Bill Clinton was given a pass for rape, drug use, and abuse of power... Hillary was given passes on worse.
So no, it would NOT have mattered if people knew about Obama’s youth - because we DID know about Obama’s youth. The press sat on the information and made sure voters never heard of it. THEY ALSO KNEW about Obama’s past the whole time - AND knew Bill Ayers (communist terrorist) wrote Obama’s book.
