How is Obama allowed to be president?

He admits to having committed multiple misdemeanors, possession of marijuana and underage possession of alcohol. How then can he claim to be a valid candidate for the presidency? How does he consider himself worthy of presidency?

Shut the fuck up, you're getting no answers because you're a god damn idiot who thinks he's way smarter than he actually is. This discussion is stupid and if you said something that was actually polarizing and relevant people would give you a real answer.

Speeding is an infraction, not a criminal offense. Your argument is dildos. The reason Obama is a hypocrite is that he is waging a war on people that did exactly what he did and sending people to jail for doing exactly what he did. Those people will never be able to be president, people who speed are still elligable.

You don't understand politics I take it.



His stance on health care reform was very left wing and he needs to try to at least some what neutral so he can have some support of conservatives to get things he wants accomplished done that he finds more important, and also so he can be allowed to be re-elected.


If a president did everything they wanted to in their first term people would call them "wreckless" or whatever.



Some times you need to lie about what you actually believe to gain support of certain other things




Quote me on this, Marijuana legalization stances will drastically change if Obama is re elected this year

Whether Obama's stance on weed changes or not, I still don't see any progress in terms of full fledged legalization coming for a very long time.

Yeah, when he was running in the democratic primary in 07. The health care reform that actually passed is not left wing at all. The centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act was an individual health care mandate, which was first proposed as an alternative to "left wing" single payer health care by the Heritage foundation (a right wing think tank) in 1989.

Plus, your argument assumes that the Republicans will work with him if he works with them, and if we've learned anything from the past 3.5 years it should be that if Obama came out tomorrow and said the sky was blue John Boehner would get on TV and say that the sky is red and anyone who thinks it is blue is a socialist.

Obama is continuing the drug war but when was the last time you heard the right wing give him credit for that?

That's not relevant to OP's point. He was making a moral argument, not a legal one (I think).

I don't care about the weed or misdemeanors. What makes me think he shouldn't be president is that there's a really good chance he wasn't born in the US. If that's true, God knows what else he's been keeping secret.

I really hope this was just a joke and you aren't as ignorant as this post. But since many people feel this way I'm going to reply sincerely.

"His stance on health care reform was very left wing and he needs to try to at least some what neutral so he can have some support of conservatives to get things he wants accomplished done that he finds more important, and also so he can be allowed to be re-elected."

Yes the political game. It really sounds like some sports strategy. Ok, you do this to please these people, and promise the other people that, and then promise those guys over there something else. Fuck that shit.

Honestly if he wants to be elected, he'll just make more of the same bullshit promises that have gotten him and every other recent president into the white house.

"If a president did everything they wanted to in their first term people would call them "wreckless" or whatever."

That's a shit statement. It's not that he didn't finish doing everything he wanted to. He didn't do shit that he said he would. Just like every other shit president.

"Some times you need to lie about what you actually believe to gain support of certain other things"

You don't need to. It works because shit is so fucked these days. We don't need that shit anymore.

"Quote me on this, Marijuana legalization stances will drastically change if Obama is re elected this year"

Quote me on what I've been saying for over 5 years. Marijuana isn't going to be legal anytime soon. Obama isn't going to help make it legal. Anyone who votes for Obama because they think he's going to legalize weed is fucking stupid.

I'm not asking for him to be charged. In fact, I would be disgusted if he was impeached because he had once smoked marijuana.

But that doesn't change the fact that he supports a drug war that could have ruined his life. On the issue of marijuana legalization, he is a hypocrite. That's point I was trying to drive home. I'll admit, my phrasing was a bit sensationalist (the Constitution says nothing about a presidential candidate having to have never committed a crime).

There is no prohibition on a felon running for office. Maybe you should reread the Constitution, bro.

Politicians assume that we are all dumb. I know this because of the pure stupidity of the campaign adds going on right now. However, Obama has Romney beat on the stupidity meter. Fucking spongebob can present a better argument than Obama.
