Does anyone else think Obama's remarks were calculated to introduce marijuana into the 2014 campaign? My guess is the PTB in the party have decided this is a winning issue in 2014.

There isn’t one serious person who thinks that marijuana prohibition is worth the price, but there are a lot of politicians who have to pretend that it is out of what they think is political expediency. If Obama can use his lame duck license to break that logjam, well that’s one good thing he’ll have done.

I know in Texas it's an attempt by the Democrats to lure low information/young voters to the polls to vote straight Democrat ticket (they have wet dreams about turning the state "blue" (Commie) Decocrat).

I say this because there is no ballot initiative to do so, however "a" candidate for the Agriculture Commissioner (Kinky Friedman) is using that as his campaign issue (even though he himself has acknowledged that the office does not have any say on legalizing pot/hemp).

Wendy Davis (Abortion Barbie with out of state feminazi donor cash) is another leg in this assault.
