pretty funny little clip featuring Barack Obama talking about smoking pot and about how in the last ten years admitting to using marijuana has gone from career-ending to "the cool thing to do"

I like this Obama guy!

Seeee, all you lib haters, he just might slow the war on drugs, Make it a "Police action" like Viet Nam, Remember, Police action not war. I'll even go so far as to say if the congress sent him a bill, he'd probably legalize it.

LMAO! Clinton smoked and Gore inhaled but look what their terms brought to us:
THE CLINTON DRUG WAR LEGACY (http://www.mapinc.org/newscfdp/v01/n087/a05.html?6793)

Show me something about his actual position today...THEN I'll get excited about the dude.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:s4:

clinton "didn't inhale," psh, and I don't know about Gore

he was also spineless, a liar, and a douche. i don't really want to start an argument because I DO see your point, but I think a lot as changed in the last 10 years and I think Barack Obama is the most down-to-earth and in tune candidate to listen to the peoples need and wants. Just my .02

nice touch with the american flag and eagle by the way....lol :S5:

The question is.......

Can you inhale while your head is laying on the floor next to you?

Can your girlfriend inhale while wearing her Berka?

Can you inhale when islam doesnt allow cannabis use?

Can you Inhale under sharia law?

I Vote here in Colorado every time Pro marijuana, and so does my wife. We will see it legal. Just hold on.

They said the same thing about jfk... "The white house will be ruled from ROME."
It all ended up to be BS.
He still has rules he will have to follow, if bush dont break em all by then.

Thats like saying John Edwards first act will be to allow gay marrage.
Give the people a chance. The guy who seems to be a little fruity or has a diferant religious belief may be a breath of fresh air. The last guy i voted for who i thought was a good choice, tried to dismantle the bill of rights, wreck your cival liberties, and get us stuck in a never ending war.

I hope we'll see it legal one of these days, but my guess is that Obama, with his candor about having used it and inhaled it frequently, is going to be less likely to help it become legal rather than more. I like him very much, too, and believe strongly in the legalization of cannabis. But I suspect that by aligning himself as pro-cannabis rather than trying to distance himself from his youthful past indiscretions, he'd be affirming what a lot of less-than-well-informed people tend to think anyway: "Aha! So he's still a stoner. I might have known, what with his background and his youth." I just think it'd be a political quicksand for him. It would have been for Dubya, too, for the same reasons. People thought he was a young, less-than-serious guy who partied too hard in his youth. He couldn't easily have been elected to the presidency and then tried to change attitudes and laws about any formerly illicit substance, particularly as a former frequent user of them.

anyhow i agree with ol p4b, many of them smoked, until the people born up until the 40s are all dead though, nothing is going to happen, they vote way more than the younger weed lovers, so it isnt popular for a candidate to endorse it. that is on a national level i mean

This is exactly why everyone on here who is so adamant about it being legalized needs to get off their butt and vote! I am not saying that any of you don't, because I don't know, obviously.

I have heard a lot of anti-weed people say that legalization will never happen because lazy stoners won't get off the couch, and we need to combat this and show up in strength to get it legalizaed, and to improve our world in general.

And Obama is awesome. He is a breath of fresh air, even to me, and I am a republican in most aspects.

In my experience, every single legalization initiative has had many extra signatures to get it on the ballot. But I meant no disrespect, and yes, your time is highly valued and appreciated. :)

But for a lot of people, even voting is a stretch.

Suhl... you are so misled.......

Islamic Party of Britain (http://www.islamicparty.com/)

The Party

The Islamic Party of Britain began its work in 1989 with the purpose of encouraging public debate about the Islamic alternative. Being the very first national Islamic political organisation in the UK and the only Islamic political party in the non-Muslim Western world, it has helped Muslims to gain confidence in the political discussion, it has researched Islamic answers to contemporary issues and come up with convincing policies on economy, environment, health, education, social affairs, international relations, and many other aspects of modern life. It has provided accurate, well presented information about Islam to the general public, and many have found their way to Islam through its dynamic approach.

Giving the Muslims in Britain a voice in matters relating to the future of British society features amongst the objectives of the party, as does helping them to improve their planning and organisation to improve their situation in a world ruled by forces prejudiced with anti-Islamic sentiment. Its main efforts are, however, directed at the majority of non- Muslims living in the West, who are to be offered practical alternatives to the mounting problems of modern society and may be helped to understand that as an ideology and way of life Islam is superior to the failed ideologies of capitalism and communism

Not really. First of all, most of the Founding Fathers were deists. That's a big reason why they did the whole church/state separation thing.

But there are a lot of Christians who want to use the state to keep their mythology the dominant one by forcing their religious beliefs on the rest of society and giving preferential treatment to members of their own religion. These people are gaining power, and it's not surprising. States and religions have gone hand in hand in oppressing people since Ancient Egypt.

I'm glad I don't live in Iran and I have at least some theoretical protection against theocracy here, but that protection is wearing down, which is one of the many reasons I'm moving overseas when I have the resources.

Okay, this might actually be an understandable post, if we were dealing with a radical Muslim. Or a Muslim at all, for that matter.

However, he is Christian. His mother is American, she was born in KANSAS of all places - not a Muslim. His father was born in Kenya, which is not even really part of the Middle East, and where the religious breakdown is as follows: Various Protestant 45%, Roman Catholic 33%, Muslim 10%, Traditional Religions 10% (from Wikipedia). Others include Hinduism, Jainism & the BahÃ¡'Ã* Faith. His father was Muslim, but didn't even help raise him. Neither of his parents are from anywhere that is predominantly Muslim, so he wouldn't be converted, and his mother is from Wichita!

So, you are basing this horrible close-minded bull on what, exactly? Your own opinions that anyone who doesn't share your exact appearance is evil? I have red hair - oh no I look different I must be out to get you too!!!

Hillary's team has questions about Obama's Muslim background
Issue Date: Jan. 16-22, 2007, Posted On: 1/17/2007
Insight (http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/Obama_2.htm)

Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?

This is the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clintonâ??s camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.

An investigation of Mr. Obama by political opponents within the Democratic Party has discovered that Mr. Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia. Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia.

"He was a Muslim, but he concealed it," the source said. "His opponents within the Democrats hope this will become a major issue in the campaign."

When contacted by Insight, Mr. Obamaâ??s press secretary said he would consult with â??his bossâ? and call back. He did not.

Sources said the background check, conducted by researchers connected to Senator Clinton, disclosed details of Mr. Obama's Muslim past. The sources said the Clinton camp concluded the Illinois Democrat concealed his prior Muslim faith and education.

"The background investigation will provide major ammunition to his opponents," the source said. "The idea is to show Obama as deceptive."

In two best-selling autobiographiesâ??"The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" and "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance"â??Mr. Obama, born in Honolulu where his parents met, mentions but does not expand on his Muslim background, alluding only to his attendance at a "predominantly Muslim school."

The sources said the young Obama was given the name Hussein by his Muslim father, which the Illinois Democrat rarely uses in public.

His father was black and came from Kenya. Mr. Obamaâ??s mother, the daughter of a farmer, came from Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Obama's parents divorced when he was two years old. His father returned to Kenya.

Later, Mr. Obama's mother married an Indonesian student and the family moved to Jakarta. Mr. Obama returned to Hawaii when he was 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.

The sources said the background check concerned Mr. Obama's years in Jakarta. In Indonesia, the young Obama was enrolled in a Madrassa and was raised and educated as a Muslim. Although Indonesia is regarded as a moderate Muslim state, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that today most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims.

Although the background check has not confirmed that the specific Madrassa Mr. Obama attended was espousing Wahhabism, the sources said his Democratic opponents believe this to be the caseâ??and are seeking to prove it. The sources said the opponents are searching for evidence that Mr. Obama is still a Muslim or has ties to Islam.

Mr. Obama attends services at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicagoâ??s South Side. However, he is not known to be a regular parishioner.

"Obama's education began a life-long relationship with Islam as a faith and Muslims as a community," the source said. "This has been a relationship that contains numerous question marks."

The sources said Mr. Obama spent at least four years in a Muslim school in Indonesia. They said when Mr. Obama was 10, his mother and her second husband separated. She and her son returned to Hawaii.

"Then the official biography begins," the source said. "Obama never returned to Kenya to see relatives or family until it became politically expedient."

In both of his autobiographies, Mr. Obama characterizes himself as a Christianâ??although he describes his upbringing as mostly secular.

In â??The Audacity of Hope,â? Mr. Obama says, "I was not raised in a religious household." He describes his mother as secular, but says she had copies of the Bible, the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita in their home.

Mr. Obama says his father was "raised a Muslim, but by the time he met my mother he was a confirmed atheist...." Mr. Obama also describes his father as largely absent from his life. He says his Indonesian stepfather was "skeptical" about religion and "saw religion as not particularly useful in the practical business of making one's way in the world ...."

In the book, Mr. Obama briefly addresses his education in Indonesia. "During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominantly Muslim school; in both cases, my mother was less concerned with me learning the catechism or puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin's call to evening prayer than she was with whether I was properly learning my multiplication tables."
Mr. Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School; he became the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review. He later settled in Chicago, joined a law firm and began attending and helping local churches.

Mr. Obama is married to Michelle Robinson and they have two daughters, Malia and Sasha. In 1996, he was elected to the Illinois state Senate. Eight years later, he became a U.S. senator from Illinois.

The sources said Ms. Clinton regards Mr. Obama as her most formidable opponent and the biggest obstacle to the Democratic Partyâ??s 2008 presidential nomination. They said Ms. Clinton has been angered by Mr. Obama's efforts to tap her supporters for donations.

In late 2006, when the Illinois senator demonstrated his intention to run for president, the Clinton campaign ordered a background check on Mr. Obama, the sources said. Earlier this week, Mr. Obama established an exploratory committee, the first step toward a formal race.

As far as Sharia law and marijuana goes, What would be the difference from now? Its "forbidden" as it is already. We pulled out of Vietnam before more good men died, Communism isn't running rampit. No way there just gonna walk in, snap there fingers, and re-wright our current laws. Now if we had better screeners at our airports , boarders, and ports they wouldn't be here to begin with. Bong you keep claiming Iraqi's should be more concerned about being Iraqi not Shia, Kurd, etc. Maybe you should take some notes on that.

Now as far as Obama and Marijuana goes,e was on Leno in Dec talking about it. But he also mentions that he "learned from his mistakes in life". Click this jaylenoisnotfunny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GP-7C3m-bM) link.

CNN debunks false report about Obama

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Allegations that Sen. Barack Obama was educated in a radical Muslim school known as a "madrassa" are not accurate, according to CNN reporting.

Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its Web site last week that associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, had unearthed information the Illinois Democrat and likely presidential candidate attended a Muslim religious school known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam.

Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and stepfather and has acknowledged attending a Muslim school, but an aide said it was not a madrassa.

Insight attributed the information in its article to an unnamed source, who said it was discovered by "researchers connected to Senator Clinton." A spokesman for Clinton, who is also weighing a White House bid, denied that the campaign was the source of the Obama claim.

He called the story "an obvious right-wing hit job."

Insight stood by its story in a response posted on its Web site Monday afternoon.

The Insight article was cited several times Friday on Fox News and was also referenced by the New York Post, The Glenn Beck program on CNN Headline News and a number of political blogs.

School not a madrassa
But reporting by CNN in Jakarta, Indonesia and Washington, D.C., shows the allegations that Obama attended a madrassa to be false. CNN dispatched Senior International Correspondent John Vause to Jakarta to investigate.

He visited the Basuki school, which Obama attended from 1969 to 1971.

"This is a public school. We don't focus on religion," Hardi Priyono, deputy headmaster of the Basuki school, told Vause. "In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don't give preferential treatment."

Vause reported he saw boys and girls dressed in neat school uniforms playing outside the school, while teachers were dressed in Western-style clothes.

"I came here to Barack Obama's elementary school in Jakarta looking for what some are calling an Islamic madrassa ... like the ones that teach hate and violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan," Vause said on the "Situation Room" Monday. "I've been to those madrassas in Pakistan ... this school is nothing like that."

Vause also interviewed one of Obama's Basuki classmates, Bandug Winadijanto, who claims that not a lot has changed at the school since the two men were pupils. Insight reported that Obama's political opponents believed the school promoted Wahhabism, a fundamentalist form of Islam, "and are seeking to prove it."

"It's not (an) Islamic school. It's general," Winadijanto said. "There is a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian. ... So that's a mixed school."

The Obama aide described Fox News' broadcasting of the Insight story "appallingly irresponsible."

Fox News executive Bill Shine told CNN "Reliable Sources" anchor Howard Kurtz that some of the network's hosts were simply expressing their opinions and repeatedly cited Insight as the source of the allegations.

Obama has noted in his two books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," that he spent two years in a Muslim school and another two years in a Catholic school while living in Indonesia from age 6 to 10.

As to his stance on cannabis...I'm still waiting to find out his stance on a lot of things. Seems so far, he is just riding the wave of outsider popularity and not really getting into any issues.

I find this portion VERY hard to believe. I saw the ex-Clinton campaign advisor on TV the other night and he more/less confirmed that this would be a tactic used by Hillary.

In this case you just read what you want to and NEVER say anything about my points, cause you cant.......Are you ever going to debate a point which has anything to do with this thread? A decent troll shouldn't be limited to a single absurd idea, you really need to work on that.
