poll: Obama - Why Was His Drug Use Swept Under The Rug? (77)
TheresMyFriend: This is just a question that I have not been able to find a reasonable answer to.
It's like a lot of his "dodged questions"!
Not here to argue, just an "inquiring mind" wants to know!
I kinda do not care, about his drug use. I just hope he can get my son out of Afghanistan that has been there for three years. He says that it seems like the people in his unit shoot themselves all the time.It's like a lot of his "dodged questions"!

he did drugs when he was much younger,and was honest about it.as long as hes doesnt take them anymore,so what.a lot of politicians take drug substances,is it because you dont know.it was a mistake he made in the past,people make mistakes thats why we are human.so let it remain where its suppose to be
IN THE PAST.people tend to look at the negative sides of other people,that aint right
let his present actions speak for him not his past. JMO.

So, what your saying is, if he murdered someone...it was a mistake, and we/he just leave it behind, and not do it anymore, then it is OK now? Something wrong with that!

Because he was the doll of the media, and they do this. If you're a Democratic candidate, you're their darling and all of your evils get swept under the carpet while any good done by an evil Republican gets swept under it and any small evil deed of theirs gets blown out of all proportion. That's just the way it is, and has been for some time.

It wasn't pushed under the rug. He openly discussed it.I remember him saying, "...Yes I inhaled....isn't that the purpose?"
Was not hidden and was openly discussed

The original question was related to Obama's own personal decisions, not of a political nature.
I understand what your saying about Bush's actions after reaching office.
I was asking about Obama's actions, before being elected. You can bet, that if you or I had done drugs in the past...we wouldn't be allowed to run for president...much less anything else.

no druidess,we are talking about obama,as a person,not because hes a democrat or whatever.it takes a lot of guts for a man to admit his mistakes to the whole world,he could as well have kept his mouth shut and play MR PERFECT,and even deny it if the press found out.------ This poll is Archived ------

Even though he admitted it...the public(Democrats)and media, found a way to "hush" it up...and push it out of the way(under the rug)! Out of site, out of mind. Why did so many look for a way for it to be OK?

Again, wrong. George Bush had a achohol problem early on.He had a DUI!!! Alchohol is a drug!! He was elected twice!! I can't say for sure, but I believe he also used cocaine at one time.
You say this isn't political...byt you are ignoring Bush's early years, and blaming OBama for his early years!!

Yes...Bush and Obama have done things from their past(and that should have eliminated them to start with)...but why is it so damn hard to find someone to run or be elected that is not already corrupt?

I would much rather see a man do drugs at home than drive drunk...putting my family at risk!! But then agin, Bush could care less about putting lives at risk...in Iraq!!

thats exactly what am saying,he did drugs ever before he went into politics.you and me...well maybe yes we could run for president and win,if the timing is right.this is obama"s time,and he won,i bet he wouldnt have won if it was 8 or 4 years agoI understand what your saying about Bush's actions after reaching office.

I think that a person's history/background should be investigated thoroughly, before being eligible.

if it was swept under a rug how come we all are aware of it?
perhaps you missed some news coverage?
like a black man wasnt overly or at least as equally scrutinized as a candidate for president as any other candidate? get real.
also are you actually saying gettin loaded is the same as murder?
and that the general population is so screwed up that murder would be overlooked? this is ridiculous-i presumed it would be but my self control in coming in waned
and lastly-i dont want some perfect person thats never made a choice and then made a new choice in their life.
if a guy cant change he aint safe-he is an egotist/megalomaniac.
change requires considering the factors present and being capable of changing course if its prudent
youth is expressly FOR deciding who we will be in the world-and that is done by choosing and then choosing again
bush got sober late in life-good for him
but seriously there is no one but an imperfect human that will ever be available to elect as president-thats why we elect them-because we are all the same-human-only our skill sets differ-like say-after the election i wouldnt want someone in office who is still focused on resentment and BS and 'conspiracy'
(see OP)
its done-we can move forward or look back and become a pillar of salt-which of its own-is useless

responded w/ lama answer. Clinton "smoked" and I am sure other presidents had their vices or silly moments when they were younger. If you poke around in peoples closets looking for the negative you'll never see the positive. Just a thought.

if its new legislation you seek
put some action behind your belief and write some letters to people with that kind of power
good grief

How can you compare smoking pot, basically a victimless crime, legal in many parts of the world with murder, illegal everywhere on earth including 1 of the ten commandments?
