Unlike Bill Clinton, Barack Obama never tried to say he didn?t inhale.

In his 1995 memoir ?Dreams of My Father,? Obama writes about smoking pot almost like Dr. Seuss wrote about eating green eggs and ham. As a high school kid, Obama wrote, he would smoke ?in a white classmate?s sparkling new van,? he would smoke ?in the dorm room of some brother? and he would smoke ?on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids.?

He would smoke it here and there. He would smoke it anywhere.

Now a soon-to-be published biography by David Maraniss entitled ?Barack Obama: The Story? gives more detail on Obama?s pot-smoking days, complete with testimonials from young Barry Obama?s high school buddies, a group that went by the name ?the Choom Gang.? Choom was slang for smoking marijuana.

Maraniss portrays the teenage Obama as not just a pot smoker, but a pot-smoking innovator...

So, what are you guys trying to say, that smoking an herb automatically makes someone bad... or just the president?

I can think of much worse things to put in your own body... like prescription drugs, vaccines, etc.

My wife and I don't take anything man made, not even aspirin. Before you start thinking we're pot heads, we have never done pot or any other contraband "drug" in our lives.

I was brainwashed as a kid to believe "drugs" were bad and to always listen to prescription pushing doctors by government school.. err, I mean public school... and programs like D.A.R.E, which used law enforcement officers to help scare kids into a certain line of thinking. My wife on the other hand, was home schooled, luckily, but was somewhat brainwashed by her neo-conservative family.

What if my wife and I did decide smoke a plant? What if we decided to tell stories about when we smoked said plant here or there? Would that make us bad?

Anyway, I think that their is a better argument on why Obama is the way he is.
