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  |
Well its obvious you hate the guy regardless, just like many on this site, some ppl on this site just sit back and wait for Obama to make a move, and then jump on it, im not kissing his ass... and hes already done many things I havent liked including that tobacco thing where the FDA gains more control... I was very happy when he got elected, but now, because he bitched out on the
marijuana issue, I could care less about him...but you are insane if you think he is more agressive on
marijuana prohibition than bushes administration, like seriously, have you heard some of the shit that John Walters(bushes ex drug czar) has said??reefer madness type shit...bush had any club raided, he didnt give a fuck...thats all the DEA did while he was prez...and yes Obama
is dismissing this issue because of criticism he would recieve. And on top of all that, it goes deeper, pharmeceuticals, logging companies, drug testing companies...these people have lobbyists working hard and dropping a lot of $$$ to keep it illegal....You act like he can just snap his fingers and cannabis is legal
