Wait a minute—didn’t we already do that?

Another hard working intelligent product of our university system.

President answers question by blaming America for not being as good as she once was. He actually creates a lengthy answer, instead of just cutting it short with no.

Johnny Rotten   December 4th, 2009 - 1:32 pm

Obama is so clueless he has probably considered both those options and reluctantly disgarded them.

Rexter   December 4th, 2009 - 1:34 pm

The cost to society is ENORMOUS to enforce law against……a plant? This is idiotic. It is an affront to property rights as local gangs (AKA “police”) have found it profitable to plant drugs in cars and homes they want to confiscate. Just end this and all wars – they are destroying the economy. The one thing they should be doing, closing the border, they aren’t.

President Obama already said “YES!” to legalizing pot AND prostitution:

Don’t you remember when Barack was all “wee weed up” (1970’s drug slang for acting dopey after smoking too much pot) after he caught Michelle hoeing in The White House garden?

IceCream Rover   December 4th, 2009 - 1:37 pm

Such a greet man, I had about 15 customers in my Ice cream shop watching our leader Obama speak on the TV and no one ordered until he was finished. Its nice to be part of a great moment. It was a beutiful scene watching my customers walk away siping there coffee and smiling, that is the effect our leader Obama has when he speaks to us.

Legalizing non-violent crime??? Uuuugggghhhhh! Typical liberal college. All they turn out are more stupid libs.

JJ   December 4th, 2009 - 1:54 pm

He should legalize prostitution so his wife and daughters can go out and earn some money to pay back some of the stimulus money he spent.

Suckiesuckie Twobuckie   December 4th, 2009 - 1:55 pm

I would think a lot of Congressmen would go for the prostitution part.

jason   December 4th, 2009 - 2:18 pm

What a stupid question – of course we’ll outsource pot production to China and the prostitution to Singapore.

Obama links to Acorns. Acorns foster prostitution. The student asked the right question whether Obama to legalize drugs and prostitution to stimulate the economy to be in line with Acorns’ direction. Very smart kid indeed!

He didn’t explain it well. Under common law, if there is no injured party, there is no crime. That is how it should be.

Rexter's Rectum   December 4th, 2009 - 2:47 pm

Oh Rexter, you’re such a hoot. All those years as a street perosn, and you can say that?

What do you call those all trips you made to the Free Clinic? Who do you think paid for all those tests, shots and pills?

Dude   December 4th, 2009 - 3:13 pm

Well this is the only reason I would have voted for this guy. I’m so disappointed in him. Dude where’s my stash?

Snarfsly   December 4th, 2009 - 3:44 pm

Hey why not legalize ecstasy too. That way you can be “E’in” without the hassle.
If we legalize the Obama ecstasy will that mean that you are “O’in” ? How bout Hopin? Changin?

dwroberts   December 4th, 2009 - 3:55 pm

Count me as a conservative who thinks pot AND prostitution should be legalized. Believe me, Barry and all his congressfools would be all in favor of it, but they know that the country has been indoctrinated with a Reefer Madness mentality. Even the liberal congressputzes won’t come out in favor of legal pot and prostitution because if there are 2 things Americans don’t like it’s people getting high for free or getting boinked for money.

jbone   December 4th, 2009 - 4:15 pm

..now there is an idea… to actually treat free american citizens as such and respect their ability to make their own choices regarding the kind of life they want to live.. the war on drugs is a failure for the american tax payer but a huge success for the violent drug cartels, who incidentally, pay no taxes..

One of the few things I agree with him about. I am still not sold on everything about his Afghanistan plan and I completely disagree with his Climate Change stance and almost everything in his agenda. But I definitely disagree with his corruption and the corruption in his Administration.

If you haven’t already seen it, there have been a bunch of reports, there is a new program being done by a watchdog by the URL http://www.americanparchment.com. The program is called “31 Corrupt Politicians in 31 Days” they have done Rep. Barney Frank, Gov. Mark Sanford, and yesterday Sen. Conrad. They are showing both Republicans and Democrats and are doing a great job. Check them out.

Now they are on REP. MAXINE WATERS and she is one of the most corrupt non spoken of politicians that needs to be removed in my opinion. No one is talking about her I expect because of her race. She is even being attacked by other African Americans because of her “ambulence chasing” tactics.

FastFacts   December 4th, 2009 - 5:23 pm

I sent http://www.ameriacanparchment.com some names of politicians that needed to be investigated, mostly national but some local corrupt politicians. I tell everyone to write them an email with a list of people they need to investigate.

America today…the first Kenyan/Muslim President says that…but when he can’t get any further votes and he is desperate…he will!

He cares about nothing else…except power!

—————————-

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY HAS BEGUN!

1. GETTING INFORMED!
2. GETTING INVOLVED!
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE TO THROW THE SLUGS OUT!

THEY SAY ‘YES’ TO ‘GOVERNMENT RUN’ HEALTHCARE…

AND WE SAY ‘YES’ TO SENDING EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM HOME… STARTING WITH NEW JERSEY/VIRGINIA IN 2009, INTO 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Where is the Teleprompter ? I never knew he had a Stammer ( to speak or say in answering a question with involuntary pauses and rapid repetitions.) it sure is evident in this question and answer forum.

Listen many who watch and know President Obama said when he was in court as a lawyer he was smooth in arguing a case and defending somebody ,Never was these pause in thinking carefully what to say , but i guess when you runnning for president or as a president you got to watch what you say , just ask howard dean when he give that yell on stage , at the time it seems harmless but he went down after that and was never the same.

but i do agree… i just watch the movie with President Obama during his election, and off the record when he is answering questions there is no pause or stammer, Maybe he just need to be himself and shoot the breeze, maybe he would come off as a regular guy that most can relate to.

“when he was in court as a lawyer he was smooth in arguing a case and defending somebody”

Really?? I read he only set at the table on one case and never spoke.

Chris   December 5th, 2009 - 1:37 pm

Isn’t it great that this country has come to a place of such moral relativism that a college kid can pretty much stand up in front of the president and ask him to legalize such activities. And by the cheers it is obvious they are all proud to be potheads.

Kenneth Joyner   December 5th, 2009 - 9:57 pm

Oftentimes I wonder if legalizing prostitution would eliminate pedophilia in this country. Common sense alone would suggest it. The government’s–and the people’s–failure to consider the measure is infuriating for those of us who actually despise pedophiles (and their enablers) with a deeply-rooted passion. Why has nobody else thought of legalizing prostitution towards this end? Granted such a measure would force the cops to share prostitutes with the civilian population (oh, no!); the moralists also would shed their little tears. Yet I would rather endure the prospect of whores on every city-block than endure the knowledge that the criminal justice system rather is contributing to the existence of a child-rapist on every city-block. To legalize prostitution would give these sickos a real woman for a change. Imagine that! If anybody disagrees I would urge them to consider the Catholic Church scandals; all priests are forbidden to marry or engage in intercourse with adults, which regulation, I might add, is thoroughly nonbiblical. Coincidentally the Church was crippled with allegations of pedophilia in recent decades. And 2+2=4. Yes. Legalize prostitution for our nation’s survival and damn the politicians in sight of the world for their meddling which contributed to this awful mess. Do I approve of prostitution? Quite the contrary. Rather I hate pedophiles all the more; and I hate the government which loves them. Within the context I venture the legalization of prostitution is the most truly conservative and Christian act of all.

Moronic question directed at a moron while the stupid people in the audience find it amusing.
Disgusting.

You, sir, are a complete and utter moron…and your “jokes” suck. Can’t wait for you old conservatives to die so we can move the country forward. Fascist pigs.
