What is the connection between Obama and Organized Crime?

"My father taught me many things here — he taught me in this room. He taught me — keep your friends close but your enemies closer." -- The Godfather Part II

2. The problem is that Warren appears to be his friend.

3. Lets not forget that Michael was in constant danger of being killed
by those enemies he kept so close, and ultimately he had to eliminate them all. Including his own brother.

4. Umm.. He supports their biggest money making scheme by far?
Obama is opposed to legalizing marijuana (and obviously other illegal drugs), illegal drugs are far and away the biggest moneymaker for organized crime and Obama wants it to stay that way.

6. Ah for the days of Vito Corleone
He knew the drug trade was evil.

9. Alcohol is a drug..
Is the alcohol business evil?

Or is it the illegality of the trade in other drugs which makes such trade evil?

Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering what you think.

10. Is the alcohol business evil?
Yeah probably pretty much. It's extreme hipocrisy at least. I know the decriminilization of drugs would drop crime. In a heartbeat. There's this intricate and corrupt web that ties law enforcement to the drug trade. The CIA have always been the best suppliers in the world after all.

8. Doesn't everyone have a mafia these days?
I saw a bunch of squirrels in my back yard the other day doing the blood ceremony.
