Obama: Decriminalize pot

January 31, 2008

Last fall during a nationally televised presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama hesitantly raised his hand and joined with most of his Democratic rivals to declare that he opposed decriminalizing marijuana. (Play video below.)

But as a candidate for the U.S. Senate four years ago, Mr. Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession, according to a videotape of a little noticed debate that was obtained by The Washington Times.

"I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004.

It's not for certain until Obama voices his support for the gold standard.

Come on that would have to fly with the hip hop crowd they say is supporting Obama.

[MrSanity]

Unfortunately, the gold standard would make it hard for the hip hoppers to flash their cash (or, their coins, anyways) on TV. Such a gesture could become tantamount to waving the confederate flag, or burning an American one.

But then they can just wear it around their neck. :lol:

Oh, but...

How much bling is too much?

This is horrifying. Obama is catering to the lowest of the low. If America votes him in then I can see why the Jihadists want our necks. We are turning into a repugnant society, which will be dealt with in a repugnant way. Not that I want the Jihadists to strike again...

Love the bling, by the way. Great photos!
