You are being WAY to easy on Obama. To suggest that he has broken his campaign promises in regards to marijuana because "he has too much on his plate" or because he would be criticized is to be in some serious denial.

Obama rode a wave of popularity into office that was so strong he could have pushed for ANYTHING and gotten it. The bailouts of the banks and auto workers unions proves it- these bailouts are/were massively unpopular, but Obama chose to spend a good deal of political capital on these endeavors. He could have just as easily chosen marijuana decriminalization.

And don't forget that Obama has actually been more aggressive in pot prosecution than Bush ever was. The Bush administration did not, as a general rule, raid dispensaries in California unless one was opened in a county that did not want it. Obama actually sent in the DEA to raid a club in the heart of San Francisco that has been open for 5 years!

I hate to say it, but Obama is a punk ass sellout bitch. He even signed anti-tobacco legislation last week (just before taking a smoke break.)

So don't defend the skank. It makes you look like a
