Obama sounds like a real douche in this article detailing his pot smoking days.

"When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted!' and took an extra hit," Maraniss writes.

Pretty funny to see that he blazed his fair share of reefer though. I knew he did but I didn't know he was like actually into it.

That was my first thought when reading it, but it was published by a pretty well-known biographer so idk. Could go either way.

he knew he would someday become president so he was puffing as much as he could while he still could, i don't see the problem with that.

also i wonder if he smoked anything else to score some free bud...if you know what i'm sayin'.

didnt he admit to cocaine use? who gives a fuck. politicians are all the same, and even worse than us normal folk. did anyone catch that onion article that was something to the effect of "social media renders all people unable to run for president in 2040" because of their past lives?

who gives a fuck.

weed is practically legal in some states. honestly people need to simmer down. its a plant and people smoke it. so what if our president did when he was younger, HE WASNT THE PRESIDENT AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

Him smoking pot in his youth has zero impact on how I view his presidential capabilities. This seems like one of those topics the far right will get stuck on instead of focussing on current issues.

Hmmm...that's weird. Because all the media outlets are STILL talking about how Romney supposedly cut off some kids hair back in 1965.

Oh America, most of you are/were closet stoners for some portion of your lives, yet you all act like you give a huge shit. Well, that's what happens when your electorate is mostly older people.

I wouldn't doubt that whoever is quoted is exaggerating, because this is probably their only claim to fame they will ever have in their life. Funny nonetheless.

We'd probably have a more functional government if all those stupid politicians smoked a little weed once in a while. Maybe then they'd stop bickering over stupid shit.

The difference is that this story is about something Obama has already admitting to doing. Romney has had numerous people come forward and say he bullied a kid he saw as gay, and has denied it. Two very different circumstances.

It's a shame that you only believe the liberal media bullshit, and don't actually take the time to find out both sides of a story. But I'll help you out.

First of all, the person that told the story to the Washington Post has come out and said that he was misquoted, and taken out of context. Also, the family of the guy as said that the story didn't happen like the paper "reported". And finally, IT WAS 45 FUCKING YEARS AGO! I don't remember people I made fun of in high school 9 years ago. How the fuck would someone remember one incident, on one day, 45 fucking years ago.

This whole thing is double standard bullshit. If George Bush would have came out in his presidency, and admitted that he bulled a girl in school, smoked weed, and did cocaine, the fucking media would have RAPED him every single day and people would have been calling for his job!

dude i was pointing out why there's a different reaction to the stories. chill yourself.
the accuracy of either story is not what i was commenting on.

But for the record, if you read the conservative press you notice they freak out over every story of Obama being friendly with a radical professor or preacher. the point is that when you're running for president, anything you've done in your past is on the table.

People are still freaking out about Obama's "mysterious" birth certificate, and he was born well over 45 years ago. I'm not saying it's right that Romney is having to deal with this shit, i'm just saying every politician has to deal with reporters digging up shit from the past, whether totally accurate or not, and different stories are going to elicit different reactions. The story about Romney was shocking to the public, and the media is capitalizing on that. Obama smoking weed has already been discussed, and the public doesn't care as much.

Romney's so-called bullying when he was a kid is the big story right now, but there will be a ton of more bullshit dug up on both candidates between now and the election. That's how campaigns work, and it applies to both parties.

When Obama came to app state a few months ago he told us an anecdote about how he and his buddies made a 30 foot steam roller out of a piece of bamboo. He said it was the highest he ever got.

No shit, presidents are looked up to as the ideal human in America. It doesn't matter which political party they belong to, any rough past will be recovered in the media and attacked. Stop trying to start Republican/Liberal shit, you are ruining the thread with stupidity.

Many of you are undet the impression that I care aboutthisin some way.. I do not. I thought it was amusing and some fucks had to act like I was disagreeing with Obama blazing reefer. If you were to divide by the amount of fucks I give you would find it impossible to calculate.
