Of course you take a man or woman's past into consideration when trying to decide who they are...but you don't neccesarily condemn them for it.
A lot of people have smoked weed.
Every politician has dodged questions.
You may not like Obama, perhaps you are a Bush-man, but the majority has spoken. Most people want change, and if that means going from an x-cokehead and current drunk who has no care for anyone who is not filthy rich to someone who smoked weed in the past and works for civil rights, and seems to care about those who are struggling, than...

abbiye: 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.
TheresMyFriend: 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!
Oh comon, Clinton and others did drugs. I nfact, MOST of that agegroup did do drugs. As long ha it is past forget it.
As to your response, I don't approve of killing. Yet, once someone has paid his/her dues to society, that SHOULD be it.
All politicians are scumbag liars who will promise and say anything to get your vote. Those who voted for Obama will eat their votes because he wont do anything to help the economy. Obama was caught up in more than just the "drug" issue, Rezko, William Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Blojovitch (cant spell), ACORN and others. The drug issue is the least of my concern. He is in it for himself just as his predecessors before him. I know this isnt about all of the aforementioned, but they all piss me off

Conrad73: Well,they say that the Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating,so no one really knows until well into next year what the New ADMIN will be like exactly. But if the past is some indication,the Voters have once again been Bamboozled,as usual. Makes little difference if a GI is dying in Irak or Afghanistan,and maybe even in Pakistan.
GI'S have no business in Irak, Afghanistan or anywhere else for that matter. I'm pinning my hopes on Obama to sort this mess out. Oil is cheap again innit?
Typical of the Americans, always digging for dirt on their politicians, not that some should ever have made it to the presidency but Obama appears to be a good choice so far.
Personally , I could care less if Obama lights up his Bong in the Oval Office every morning while reading his paper ...... As long as he hires the right people around him and does a good job ......... That's all that matters

Um...Are you from a trailer park? Bush(probably your hero)did coke, and is a drunk to this day. What do you REALLY think the "pretzel" deal was? He passed out drunk in the white house.
Oh...I get it! You hate blacks! That's it, isn't it?
