Obama: I Tried Drugs As a Teen

REALLY!

I recall in my senior year of HS, sitting in class with a friend and discussing who in the class we KNEW for a fact had smoked weed. It became easier to name who we suspected had NOT.
Out of a classroom of 30 students, only 3 were identified as possibly having never smoked weed and only because we didn’t know for sure from personal observation.

Doesn’t matter, Hillary has the nomination locked-boxed up.

I was wondering the same thing.

....still heartbroken about the formula change in Preparation H.

and overcame the obstacles laid out before him by The Man.

Is he trying to say that he Super Fly?

In the book, Obama 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 says.

A "little blow" sounds a little more than a little.

"There was a whole stretch of time that I didn't really apply myself a lot."

Some things never change.

while that is TRULY admirable, I’m afraid you don’t have many members in that little club.

No matter, he’s already admitted he did coke. Now I wonder why the left won’t jump on that red meat but they’ll still whip out the “Chimpy McCokespoon” card even now?

Sorry his drug use is not the scandal. He admitted to using drugs in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance", written 11 years ago, not long after he graduated from law school and well before he contemplated life on the national stage.

Just send me a check for that "lot of money" you bet!

But, but, I thought the Novakian 'leak' was about sex? Is this a pre-emptive release? What does Hillary have on Obama?

[Aquinasfan]

I was thrown by the “would be black man” phrase. I wasn’t sure what one had to do with the other.

Did he succeed in his attempt to become a black man? I'm on the edge of my seat.

That’s a big Jeep.

I don’t know if this applies to Obama or not, but my husband grew up in the islands and drugs, especially marijuana, were a big part of life there for teenagers. Although his dad was with an airline there, my husband spent his time with the locals. Based on his experiences and stories, I would think that kids in the islands (Hawaii, Guam in particular) who do NOT try marijuana, are in the minority.

I’ll take that bet. Know why? Obama has already admitted to this in his book

‘THE AUDACITY OF WEED’?

[day10]

You do now, baby doll!

And I am d&*n proud of it!

:-)

[JamesP81]

It’s not that he tried drugs that bothers me most. It’s that he’s a howling lefty moonbat that convinces me he isn’t fit to be president.

told high school students

Is anyone outraged that Obama waited to tell kids about this?

Maybe they can book Bill Clinton to come over any make his sex "is is" confession.

Maybe all the candidates should stop at the local school and confess their sins.

“Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final fatal role of the young would be black man...”

Is a "would-be" black man a "potential" black man? Is he saying that black men end up on drugs? What the heck is he trying to say???

[Aquinasfan]

Him laying there in his bed in high school all f-ed up, is not experimenting,...its using.

Ha! Good point. He was lying on the vinyl couch in the basement, the one with the mildew smell, smokin' a doobie and listening to some Floyd. Why doesn't he just admit it?

[Miss Didi]

Gee, I wonder if all the "Bush is a coke addict" moonbats will start ripping into B. Hussein Obama for his drug use.

Right? They don't dare.
