The more I think about this, the more I realize it's brilliant. What President Obama is saying, in effect, is this: "All this shiat about me eating dog and my Secret Service agents banging hookers is silly bullshiat nonsense, and I'm going to treat it that way. The Republicans can get all pissy and butthurt about it if they want, but they're getting pissy and butthurt about silly nonsense. So that means they're douchebags."

The Obama Campaign has only just begun, and they now have their target. This isn't even going to be close.

Ahhhhh, then what you need to understand is the difference between 'asserting' and 'implying'. I missed this exchange, but if he put the two together for seemingly no reason, it was obviously to imply that he had indeed eaten dog as an adult, but by implying, instead of asserting, he gives himself this nice easy out...


No, it was clearly assertion via implicature (look up the word). The repetitions only underline the assertion.

I can't blame him. If I were President and had to deal with BS like that on an everyday basis, your damn right I wouldn't want to troll the hell out of those farkers.


I think the strategy is to just drive the nutters into a tailspin of frothing and derping to push them to the point of being more and more noticed and unattractive to the mainstream. There's no reasoning with people who think things like the President was born in Kenya or that he had Brietbart killed, or a master sociopath like Limbaugh. Trying to reach the Fox News crowd through their own walled-off, self-reinforcing universe of facts and myths is hopeless, so the only thing left is to learn how to press their buttons and drive them over the edge to create a negative spectacle out of them for the rest of the electorate.

So the desire to smoke makes a person a bad President?

did you not remember the issue Cain had with his campaign manager?


Why the fark are folks like TPOC even talking about whether he wants to smoke? Is this REALLY the best you can do? Is this REALLY all you have on Obama?

No, the country also has the economy, 2.2% gdp growth, high unemployment, high gas prices, rendition practices, etc. This is just a lot more amusing.


Gas prices are not determined by the president. The economy was destroyed by deregulating the banks and giving tax breaks to corporations who then proceed to outsource, all done under the republicans. Record breaking filibusters have made it difficult to fix any of this, so you could blame the republicans for both causing this and stopping fixes.

What we need now is for MItt Romney to sweep in an era of austerity and deregulation leading instantly to a second Great Depression. I mean, under Obama, America has done better than any other country in the world in climbing out of the Great Recession that the GOP and Bush spread across the earth. But if we f*ck everyone who's not uber-wealthy, we can make the mega rich a little richer. Maybe we can even outlaw abortion and gay marriage!

If that's true, they deserved it for their stupidity. I mean, come on, how do you expect them to react to such a request? Trolling the feds isn't such a good idea when you operate an institution that educates people about how to produce a product that exists in such a grey area?

Nem Wan: truthseeker2083: Here is what he told Rolling Stone this month:

It's fair to say there would be little pressure to change the law if it was not enforced, and on the other hand it would weaken federal supremacy to let states effectively vote or legislate themselves too far out of step of federal law, though personally I think the interpretation of the commerce clause that gives DEA jurisdiction of entirely intrastate production and consumption is nuts.

I don't know. It's decriminalized in ohio, up to an oz and it's just a ticket (which is about the only good thing about ohio). He has so far not only ignored and laughed at people asking him about legalization/decrim, but it just seems that he's going after the legit business side in mmj states. It makes no sense.

Perhaps if he enforced the law he would get some respect.


Nah, after reading the quote from Rolling Stone, I can respect what his aim is. He's trying to help mmj states enforce the laws they have by allowing the providers to still go through dispensaries, but not sell some on the side. Blindly following the draconian war on drugs would lose him respect.

Here is what he told Rolling Stone this month:

"Here's what's up: What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana. I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana - and the reason is, because it's against federal law. I can't nullify congressional law. I can't ask the Justice Department to say, 'Ignore completely a federal law that's on the books.' What I can say is, 'Use your prosecutorial discretion and properly prioritize your resources to go after things that are really doing folks damage.' As a consequence, there haven't been prosecutions of users of marijuana for medical purposes.

The only tension that's come up - and this gets hyped up a lot - is a murky area where you have large-scale, commercial operations that may supply medical marijuana users, but in some cases may also be supplying recreational users. In that situation, we put the Justice Department in a very difficult place if we're telling them, 'This is supposed to be against the law, but we want you to turn the other way.' That's not something we're going to do. I do think it's important and useful to have a broader debate about our drug laws. One of the things we've done over the past three years was to make a sensible change when it came to the disparity in sentencing between crack cocaine and powder cocaine. We've had a discussion about how to focus on treatment, taking a public-health approach to drugs and lessening the overwhelming emphasis on criminal laws as a tool to deal with this issue. I think that's an appropriate debate that we should have."
