The announcement comes as a bit of a surprise after Obama recently raised his hand in opposition to marijuana decrim at a recent democratic debate. Seeking to paint him as a flip-flopper, The Washington Times dug up footage of a 2004 appearance in which Obama said this:


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

He is all things to everyone with a need....now it's time to walk the walk.

Have a good one!:s4:
I don't think something he said in 2004 counts as a campaign promise for THIS election, especially since it never came up in his platorm statements, speaches or the debates. He might believe this, and I certainly do agree with it. But you were saying I was giving him excuses for not living up to his word, and I do not agree that he ever promised this. If he had, we would definitely have heard more about it.
