When George W. Bush ran for president in 1999, The Washington Post led the way in rumor-mongering about whether he used cocaine in his youth. Bush refused to deny cocaine use saying that denying rumors just leads to having to deny more and more rumors.

Hasn't Obama already admitted to past cocaine abuse? Why isn't it an issue this campaign cycle? Because it is more credible? Or because the tooter is a Democrat?

Because he admitted to it they feel it is not newsworthy anymore and should be tabled as an issue. Personally I look at the type of man that can be swayed by peer pressure into using it, and then call into question the judgment of such a man in so powerful a position.

I have one question on that subject too, if a Secret Service agent guarding him was found out to have used cocaine would he be removed from the Presidential Protection Detail due to his poor lack of judgment? Just curious...

Because the TOOTER is a DEMORAT!; Cocaine use is then defined as Cool, even when a few Experts have stated Obie’s obscene Gaffes may be tied to Brain Disfunctions tied to Excessive Cocaine use. Thats a nice thought for a candidate aspiring to the highest office in the Land. In Obie’s case, hopefully Hildabeast will yet take him down and force him to run for the Office of Dogcatcher for the town of Unity in New Hampshire!
