Because he smoked some as a kid? Who didn't? (By the way, even your idol Bill Buckley partook of a little wacky tobacky.) Why would you say Obama is “an expert on pot”?

I've been a split-ticket voter for most of my adult life, but less so in recent years (mainly because of a dearth of acceptable Republican candidates). Independence comes naturally. I grew up in era when most Democrats were racists or corrupt or both. Of course, that was back when the Republican establishment was classy and fairly liberal (wildly liberal compared to today's crop of GOP loonies). Now, as for Blago, I think he's a disaster. But regarding the roads, I don't care whose responsibility they are, I want a president who's going to jawbone on this pressing issue. Hey how about this catchy platform slogan?: Outlaw potholes and legalize pot. Ron Paul, are you following along here?
