I just read about Obama admitting to cocaine use, pot use, and alcohol use. Is this going to be a problem for him in the election? Is this the scandal he was worried about? I think there are going to be many stories to appear about bad things he did in his past. Can America survive another former junkie as President?
Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final fatal role of the young would be black man," Obama wrote. Mostly he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, Obama wrote, but occasionally he would snort cocaine when he could afford it.
Drugs, Obama wrote, were a way he "could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory."
This story is starting to get more play. I'm thinking someone has to be pushing this story. This doesn't look good to me. I don't think we should choose someone with this kind of baggage as our nominee.
I mean you can't say, "I didn't inhale the cocaine."
I guess at least he's admitting it. However, someone is going to come forward soon with soom interesting stories. I would bet on it.
I have said things about Bush snorting cocaine and I'm sure many of you have too. Are you really ready to vote for someone who did the same thing?
Update: Some of you are saying this is old news. Well...It's not to us who haven't read his books or supported him. I just read this story today on Huffington Post. I had never read this before. I'm sure this story is going to be in the news a lot soon. I didn't know this about Obama and have never heard it in the news. It's in the news today though.
Update 2: This is NOT old news. It is a new story I saw today on Huffington Post. You must remember. Not everyone has read Obama's book. I haven't. It's not exactly the best selling book in the world.
Here's a link to the story.
