New Pew Poll Flawed, President Obama too busy Brewing Beer in the White House to Enforce his own Policies on Opposing Marijuana Legalization


By Alexandra D. Datig

The new poll regarding marijuana legalization, released today by the Pew Research Center, shows a blatant disregard from the Obama Administration and does not accurately reflect the sentiment of the American people.  We have more than 300 million citizens living in the U.S. and the Pew Research Center’s poll, which reflects the opinion of 1,501 persons polled, is unlikely to be the opinion of an entire country!  Pew Research should try to poll communities who have had to ban marijuana dispensaries in states where marijuana is legal under state but not federal law.  Clearly, Pew has chosen their “sampling” to serve a desired outcome. 

Given the fact that the Obama Administration is also not taking a frontline approach to preventing drug use, it is no surprise the country has lost the President’s ability to lead on this issue.  Various news publications are using the new Pew poll to sway public opinion right into the hands of a liberal agenda, silencing the voice of all the American people, while playing into the hands of liberal campaign donors. 

Citizens and advocates who have made sacrifices and worked hard to help enforce the Obama Administration’s policies on opposing marijuana legalization are being baited and switched!  The President’s deafening silence is dismissive of those he counted on in his first term, who now seem no less than irrelevant to him.  United States Attorney General Eric Holder, who has made several statements regarding corrective action by the Department of Justice, regarding marijuana legalization initiatives in Colorado and Washington State, has also been missing in action! 

Currently, marijuana is being sold to voters as “safer than alcohol” while the marijuana lobby has partnered with the alcohol industry in Colorado and Washington State, in an effort to plan a regulated federally illegal marijuana market.  In the meantime, President Barack Obama has his own brewery at the White House.  What’s next?  The Obama version of Billy Beer?
