Something’s Fishy with President Obama’s Avoidance of the Marijuana Issue


Does President Obama want legalized drugs or is he going to stick to his own policies?  (At this point all the potheads are laughing)  These days that is becoming a rhetorical question more than ever before.  So, which one is it?  After the November presidential elections, there was no official statement made by the White House on how enforcement would be addressed with the new Colorado and Washington State measures that legalized marijuana for recreational use under state law.  As a matter of fact, all those who enforce President Obama’s policies have still, to this day, not received any official word from the White House regarding what should be done.

How does the President expect parents to talk to their children when he is MIA on this issue?  The only thing we can go by is a commentary from the President to Barbara Walters, where “kissing off the issue” was excused with having “bigger fish to fry.”  Oh yeah?  And we’re supposed to believe that drug legalization, which endangers the future of our kids, is not a priority?  That no one should be asking any questions about how pot got legalized in Colorado and Washington State in an election year, where drug policy was an issue carefully avoided by candidates?  Why? 

And still, no official statement from the White House?  We’re just supposed to believe that making a casual comment during an interview with a talk show host should be sufficient?  In the mean time it's is business as usual (all the potheads are laughing) and the lack of leadership from the President keeps legalizers motivated and those expecting responsible leadership frustrated.  Who is going to protect our kids from drugs if it is not the President of the United States?

Mr. President, if you keep up with this ridiculous charade, no one is going to believe anything you have to say regarding the legalization of marijuana.
