Sorry, SS, but in my opinion, it's a bunch of crap. One has to pick and choose WHEN to fight their battles, and imho, ESPECIALLY with his battle with trying to get health reform passed, fighting the cannabis legalization battle would get in the way of him accomplishing that. In politics, every battle affects another, so one has to pick them wisely. It's all about timing, and for our issue of cannabis legalization, the timing was just not there.
The town hall meetings were bad enough. Could you even imagine how'd they go down if he was also in the midst of the cannabis legalization efforts? Dope smokin' Nazi Communist who's not only turning us into a Fasict/Communist state (LOL), but is also turning our kids into dope addicts !!
Nope, for Obama, considering everything else that's goin' on, now is not the time.
This issue was also covered in this thread:
Why did this happen Mr. Obama?
