Obama: I Tried Drugs As a Teen

“Obama has already admitted this. The Novak piece is different.”

The cocaine part? I did not hear that before.

Who would want to get high with her?

Woah, talk about a bad trip man! Maybe that's why Bill "tried it but didn't like it". Betcha he's still having bad trips whenever she's around. :)

If this was Shillary's so-called dirt on him, BFD. More and more it will be harder to find someone (even a Republican/Conservative) who hasn't tried them at some point in their lives.

The question(s) will be: how long ago; are you still using; what is your advice to kids today?

[Resolute Conservative]

I also have never taken any illegal, non-prescribed drug, never. I have drank a few beers but never cultivated the taste and haven’t had one of those in 12 years. hard alcohol is a losing situation.

If Hillary is going after Obama on cocaine, that is a hugely risky strategy. The Clintons allowed brother Roger to snort cocaine in the White House. And I know a couple of Bill’s suppliers from back in the 70s.

OK, and who hasnt?

mitt romney and duncan hunter....

thats who

I’ll take your word on that. I have always been a control freak when it comes to my senses and memory.

I imbibe alcohol from time to time (I like a good beer with a thick steak), but always well within the bounds of moderation.

I never had a desire to be stoned beacuse I saw how people behaved when they were drunk or high.

I am not judging you, FRiend. I am just stating that I never used “recreational pharmaceuticals” and have never had a desire to do so.

This has been well known for a long time, Hitlery has something else. Obama is just trying to use this to deflect attention.

Or to get attention. Remember we are "Oprah Nation" where a quick visit to her couch to repent and shed a few tears will make him even more endearing...no matter what scandal Mrs. Clinton has up her sleeve.

What if he was “selling” drugs? Now that would be the same story...with a differnt twist.

[rightinthemiddle]

Well, that should increase his chances of winning the Democrat nomination.

[flat]

me neither

[unixfox]

Someone should ask Hillary if she has ever done drugs.

But we already know the "lie."

[Long Island Pete]

I find this interesting. What year did you graduate High School?

[kinsman redeemer]

I can count on one hand the number of people who "tried" drugs - with the implication that it was an experiment and never repeated.

Is "I tried drugs" supposed to imply that you didn't continue using? I guess so.

It's better than, "I tried drugs once, then waited until the next weekend to try them again. I liked it so much that I started trying them every weekend, then I tried them every day for several years (I was later told). I stopped trying drugs when I was arrested - but I only quit trying drugs for a little while. After that, I tried them again for several years - morning, noon and night - until I ran for office. During that time I tried being more careful. Now I don't admit to trying drugs anymore."

If by “accused of asking his wife for sex” you mean taking her to sex clubs and demanding that she perform sex acts on him in front of others then yeah, sure.

[Aquinasfan]

Is it just me, or is the term “junkie” most commonly associated with people who shoot heroin?

As far as I know. I suppose he's trying to imply that he grew up on the mean streets of... wherever, and overcame the obstacles laid out before him by The Man.

[trisham]

Was this the scandalous info that Hillary was not going to reveal?

****************

No. I'm guessing that whatever she's keeping on reserve is much worse.

Obama was an active drug user for at leat five years.

As part of Obama's first run for office, he releases his memoir/fable, "Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," in which he acknowledges that he used cocaine as a high school student but rejected heroin. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he wrote.

Why would he mention heroin? -- Just asking!
