First of all, Obama is hardly the first prominent politician to acknowledge youthful indiscretions involving illegal drugs. Fourteen years ago, Bill Clinton easily survived his discussions of smoking marijuana, and drew far more criticism for his dodgy, weasel-words regarding his experience ("I smoked, but I didn't inhale") than for his one-time exposure to the demon weed.
Al Gore also admitted to dope indulgence (and reportedly became a heavy user at Harvard, which may help explain the spectacularly weird workings of his mind) as did Newt Gingrich and John Kerry. George W. Bush refused to share specifics of his own drug experience beyond a general acknowledgment of a rowdy youth ("when I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid"). Still, he did little to contradict ubiquitous reports of his consumption of booze, marijuana and even cocaine.
Knew you were gonna ask. And this is just the list of those who ran for or became President.
And drug use wasn't the discussion here. It was an illegal act by a man who had yet to become President. Made by someone who has deep hatred and extreme racial prejudice against Obama.
I wont bring up that other argument again except to say the word "crack" kept coming up and that was one of the drugs I objected too. I do recall mentioning that if you keep it in your home, I could care less what you do. Im sure you will be able to find that post. [:D]
