And the more I hear, he is absolutely correct. Under the current laws, and the justice department efforts with the war on drugs - Obama unfortunately would have NEVER had the opportunity to be president had he been caught.

Now, what I wonder after hearing this is (something I never considered) : how many wonderful leaders will never get the opportunity to run for president because of a childish felony under the current drug laws and the war on drugs in general????
