Obama Must Explain His Broken Promise on Medical marijuana, and Soon

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-...b_1020910.html

This link is to a well written article on the current state of affairs and I agree it is time for our President to speak on the issue.

As president we need to understand and as a Candidate I want a solid commitment to one position.

Obama Not Implicated In California Medical marijuana Crackdown, U.S. Attorney Claims

This story tells us that after the damage is done now the blame is looking for a home.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/1...n_1033482.html

WASHINGTON -- U.S. attorneys have a message for California's medical marijuana advocates: Don't blame Barack Obama. After it was announced that the crackdown on medical pot establishments in the Golden State was a collective decision by the four U.S. attorneys in California and not the result of any directive from Washington, spokeswoman Lauren Horwood emphasized that the administration never even green-lighted the ramped-up enforcement actions.
The only D.C.-based official with whom California U.S. attorneys coordinated, Horwood said, was Deputy Attorney General James Cole, who was chosen by Attorney General Eric Holder, an Obama appointee.
"He's the one who provided the quote for our press release, and he's chosen by Eric Holder," Horwood told HuffPost in an interview. "But we didn't have direct talks with Eric Holder -- not that we wouldn't, he's been out and visited -- but just the way the Department of Justice works, he's not that hands-on on these kinds of details."

...

When asked to respond to the claim that the Obama administration isn't implicated in the decision, Ammiano was indignant.
"Somebody's going to have to fall on their sword about this," he said. "This is becoming more of a mainstream issue. I mean, this was really a mistake."

Then I guess the majority of Americans are fools (lol) ....

It's not clear what effect this crack down will have on the industry. I have to wait and see who is left standing and where.

This comes after Gov. Brown vetoed the dispensaries near neighbourhoods bill.

So it may be punishment for that also.

the guy came out of nowhere and in a few years, he will be gone, only remembered for being the first "black" president.

with his own little obama museum somewhere and doing campus talks for a few mills a talk (he´s probably gonna ride that black president gravy train for the rest of his life (nobel winner and all)

but there is no accounting.

on the surface, being a president is basically being a boss

basically

"shut the fuck up and do what you are told

"

thats what we hire these people for

bossing us around.
