In regard to the prosecution of torturers, Obama has stated that he is more interested in looking forward than looking backward.  What would be the point in prosecuting monsters that may have authorized the torturing of toddler's testicles?  Nobody but Jesus and the welfare mom with googluplets loves children anymore.

As to legalizing marijuana?  He's looking backward.  Why not continue to torture America with an ongoing war against pot that is built on at least as concrete a basis as the WMD lies Bush concocted?  Bush was even able to joke about finding those pesky WMD's under his desk at the same time our sons and daughters were under fire dying for his phantoms.  Obama makes a joke as misguided because the rest of us are definately not laughing.  There are a bazillion great pot comics he can borrow from if he wants to keep up this schtick.  In the meantime, people will continue to suffer and die for the sake of the big pot lies, while he clowns around....just like Bush did with the WMD's.

Until legalization, the neighborhood shall remain the terrorhood, but if your kids can make it out alive, they'll be a lot of great military positions in the upcoming border wars with Mexico!   The prison industry is always looking for a young hire to watch the stable of drug offenders working at their "for profit" prison industrial parks (Did they lo$$bby Obama harder than NORML?).  You can get some SWEET deals on office furniture from the Iowa folks.  Great middle American craftsmanship and hip enough to have a digital presence in the Webosphere!  Super bonus cool points to the first prison to set up a Twitter account......

The online community (aka reality-based) is rightly displeased with Obie right now (would he even be where he is without us?).  What makes this issue even more regrettable is that he has smoked pot.  He has firsthand experience and knows that the wild exaggerations about marijuana dangers are bogus.  Americans OVERWHELMINGLY support the decriminalization of marijuana.  Many are starting to examine the FISCAL aspects of the pharmaceutical, industrial. commercial and recreational businesses as well as the taxe$ generated by them 

Job loss in the prison industrial complex (and law enforcement) will be offset by myriad new PRODUCTIVE employment opportunities in the unshackled industries around hemp.  Accounting projections for the legal production and taxation of cannabis generate figures of the kind that get even Bernie Madoff all tingly in his nether regions.  Ginormous amounts of money and jobs (with the worst downside being a new tax of the variety you might now even mind paying).

What's upsetting to this netizen is that Obie is denying the truth of his very own experience.  Since he seems it a habit of 'looking around'  for a direction in which to move the country, might I suggest he look inside his own heart and soul?

Marijuana is the wonder drug that works wonders.  It cures whatever ails you, and if you're healthy it keeps you that way.   It is such a powerful gift from God that many religions make it's use a sacrament.

Winners smoke weed.

Mike and Obie know.

Enjoy.

Viper123 is aware of racism but not ruined by it.   My take:

White people suck.  What can I say?  It's basically the truth.  Nearly every grievous sin you could imagine has been attempted or accomplished by Caucasians.  This in no way absolves the Blacks from their share of the human suffering and stupidity market:

On the other hand, White people lied us into a war with people that never attacked us, by claiming they were up to all kinds of nefarious bullcrap.  And that was just the Indians.  White people pull that rabbit out of a hat whenever they need justification for their otherwise immoral actions.

In the overall, I'd guess that ALL humans are equally capable of being as ruthless as white people if given a chance.  It's just that some white people aren't about to let that happen. They are few in number, but they own the country.  We are in the process of "bailing" them out right now.  They invested in crap they just made up from whole cloth and paid themselves handsomely for the effort!!  If only they would have been more honest and invested in 'legitimate' business loans for the rapidly growing REAL industries in America!!

Like independent 'for profit' prisons as well as the predatory 'advance check cashing' services that spring up in every otherwise abandoned retail location.  If you are poor because you are not investing in those high growth, high profit industries....well pffft, you are an idiot.  For chrissakes, from what I'm seeing, a fellow could dam near retire just selling off his 'junk' gold jewelry.  How the hell did I miss that source of cash???

White people ruined the banking system of this country because smart white people are greedy bastards who have no compunction taking money from people who think it's easier to get to heaven having achieved bankruptcy.  They're just doing God's work which is why it is imperative to pay them bonuses rather than have them pay us bail.

I prefer Black people myself, but mainly of the variety that don't hate this middle-aged white guy for all the crap that's been perpetrated on them in the past (and present) by my ancestors.  The real pain we're feeling is that of rich-poor, not black-white.  I know cause I live in the 'hood.

Putting On for my city....as usual...
because...
Them other brothers actors, Me I'm a factor...
and...
In due time the city is mine.

Enjoy.
