Good thing there is a statute of limitations
 

on pot smoking....this is really incredible......

"Unlike Bill Clinton, Barack Obama never tried to say he didn’t inhale.
In his 1995 memoir “Dreams of My Father,” Obama writes about smoking pot almost like Dr. Seuss wrote about eating green eggs and ham. As a high school kid, Obama wrote, he would smoke “in a white classmate’s sparkling new van,” he would smoke “in the dorm room of some brother” and he would smoke “on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids.”
He would smoke it here and there. He would smoke it anywhere.
Now a soon-to-be published biography by David Maraniss entitled “Barack Obama: The Story” gives more detail on Obama’s pot-smoking days, complete with testimonials from young Barry Obama’s high school buddies, a group that went by the name “the Choom Gang.” Choom was slang for smoking marijuana.
Maraniss portrays the teenage Obama as not just a pot smoker, but a pot-smoking innovator.
“As a member of the Choom Gang,” Maraniss writes, “Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends.”

"Maraniss concludes his chapter on Obama’s high school years by looking at a note Obama had written in his high school yearbook in a section reserved for students to give a line or two giving thanks to those who helped along the way.
Obama had written this: “Thanks Tut [his grandmother], Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times.”
Maraniss notes: “Ray was the older guy who hung around the Choom Gang, selling them pot. A hippie drug dealer made his acknowledgements; his mother did not.”
The White House told ABC News that it has no comment"

Obama and His Pot-Smoking ‘Choom Gang’ - ABC News

Probably nothing but shocking for this old guy Yeah, that Mitt Romney was one bad dude in HS

and we know that George W. Bush was a cocaine abuser as well as an alcoholic yet he was President for two terms.

Did he brag about it?

So Bush had a problem alcohol, which is legal for adults to consume, and got help and is clean and sober for many, many years. Wow!; what a scandal.

Then we have rumors of a flirtation with cocaine, but no real evidence of it. Sounds like a slam dunk to me.

Mentioning Bush doesn't really help "The One" out here. I notice you never mention Bush when Obama rides his coattails, but that's typical.

Obama meanwhile brags about his joyful relationship with the illegal substance marijuana. I think that's a bit different. I don't really care, but it is what it is.

No, it is not a scandal that George W. is an alcoholic. That is a chronic disease. Flirtations with cocaine? George W. admitted he used coke (not experimented with it but used it) - still no scandal since that was well before he was elected to being president. Clean and sober and a decent man.

Marijuana and Obama - big deal is all I can say. Whatever happened was well before being elected to President. RichieLion doesn't care, I don't care, why care?

Has anyone ever observed Mitt Romney having a Coca-Cola? Now, that would be a scandal!

Is This Really An Important Issue In The Election Campaign?
 

No message needed.

We need to be vigilant and not let Iran smoke us. Now that is important.
