I doubt he'll entertain a pot solution until he deals with some "real important issues".
i doubt he'll "entertain a pot solution" at all. there is always something of greater importance than the protection of the people's constitutional rights and if there isn't they can make something up. it is far more important that government create problems that only they can solve and to work ever more diligently to shackle the market and their constituents. the urgency of their pork laden legislation is obvious to us all.
delusionsofNORMALity Reviewed by delusionsofNORMALity on . Obama plays down overwhelming support for Marijuana. In his response to the number one question concerning American's, only a one sentence reply was given stating "President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana". Not only was the response short, it was also bumped down the line to appear as if not important. There will be another round of "Open for Questions" soon, and we should simply overwhelm them with our votes. let's make this something that cannot be ignored.
