I am certainly no fan of Obama but there are two things I expected him to do and am amazed he hasn’t done. The first was to end the pointless and self-destructive War on Drugs.

I'm not amazed - the War on Drugs is the quintessential liberal program, utopian in its aims and serving only to provide salaries for those who implement it.

People tend to forget that Prohibition was as much the baby of Leftist social engineers as of Conservative puritans (it was the bastard child of both). The same is true of the war on drugs.

Next up - the “War on Burglary.” It hasn’t solved anything since our founding.
