Obama interview March 22, 2008

[c0mbineelite]

God what a fucking cunt.

[joby92]

6:48 man, be honest with deez nuts, nigga. legalize it.

[woodystrength]

Please legalize marijuana Mr. president! It's why I voted for you!

[bpentium]

You voted for a guy so that he would let you get high? What an idiot. No wonder we have this retard as president. Get off the pot. It's frying your brain. If you have one.

[woodystrength]

@bpentium i dont smoke weed you ass. ide like to make a bong out of your fuckin face though.

[bpentium]

You don't smoke it but that's why you voted for Lord O? Wow, you are a dipshit aren't you.

[woodystrength]

OBAMA ROCKS

[rebecca603]

Cannabis can be used for fuel, clothing, medicine and many of our other needs. I don't understand, we have this huge natural recourse and huge industry for almost everything we use today and our government is stopping us from tapping into this.

[Fuhqoff13]

legalize it.

[wowdude159]

thats my b day

[emanizzle]

he is so much more informed than bush! no jokr, hr knows his shit!

[rebecca603]

He is more educated than Bush.

[kittycatblackattack]

I love how at the end he says 'i gotta fly' lol

[Jarroty]

why do people vote, our votes dont your votes dont count,,,,the goverment votes

[lilballs1]

The decriminalization of herb would relieve the federal and state law enforcement officers of many a burden, regulate for personal use (as in the Swiss model) and ofcourse professional (Physician)and make it an offense to traffic/profiteer unless licensed to do so...this creates revenue. Is it me or does that sound simple?

[pisscunt]

If I was president, I'd say, I wanna legalize weed so I can be the first guy to smoke weed in the White House. lol. Seriously, is it that hard to figure out how to regulate it for recreational use? You just sell it like u sell alcohol

[AnLj89]

well, george washington and thomas jefferson smoked cannabis too, so you wouldnt be the first.

[suckfist]

What does Obama think about the Federal Reserve?

He doesn't mention it.

[lizben08]

Support America's right to vote, support Hillary Clinton.

I will not vote for someone nominated without counting all the votes.

[hutnerbaekUBS]

Did you vote for Al Gore or Bill Clinton? Because those elections for the nomination didn't last nearly as long as this one. No one is going to STOP the rest of the states from voting, you know. Even though McCain is the nominee, Republicans are still voting in the primaries. Ya know?

[lizben08]

Great, then you agree the 2.5 million voters in Michigan and Florida should be counted? Be sure to let the DNC know, they will decide May 31st. I mean, what is the point of voting if not counted!

[PatrioticEurope]

OBAMA, first president of the world!

Europe ♥ Obama

[notes08]

Look this is not rocket science.

The stock market was at a record high 15 months ago. House market started going down the tubes about a year ago and the Recession has started since Democrats have been in control of Congress

Obama is saying the economy is weak. If you look back ever since the Democrats have taken over the Congress in Jan, 2007 it has been going down hill. Obama is trying to make like it is the GOP fault. The Democrat controlled Congress that has caused Market go down.

[carlson071]

Your a ****ing idiot... congress can't do anything without the president, and he's a douchebag who thinks Al Qaeda was in iraq before we went there... Al queda wasn't in iraq, IRAQIS DIDNT CAUSE 911... And the economy was screwed up because of a dumbass president and the cost of being at war... WAR ISN'T CHEAP, all of that money used on iraq could of been used on schools, hospitals, roads, and the dollar would still be worth shit. So, don't fucking blame the bad economy on the dem. dumbass

[mahowel]

B Hussein Obama for US Senate 2008

[blawruk]

LOLOLOL!!!!! Im SO sure we're going to lose the war on terror. Like we're winning right now. . .LOL!! If we pull out of there you think we've lost?? Is there REALLY going to be a winner in this thing?? Go over there and throw yourself in the way of a roadside bomb please. Apparently you think that's the way to 'win' the war on terror....

...dillhole

[orbitfire]

Uh, you know that Obama wants to focus our military on the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of spending our resources on Iraq, especially after records surfaced that there was no connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam right? I suggest you don't assume things and stereotypically label parties. We need to open our minds, not keep them closed.

[cazthe2nd]

Obama understands the conservative point of view as well as the progressive point of view.

OBAMA 08!

[rjsmitty69]

Obama should go back to his church that preaches HATE .. He is such a TURD !

NO-OBAMA in 08

[ninigreen7]

Falconx2000- Thank you very much for your comment I am not American If I were I would vote for Mr.Obama many Europeans agree with me he is by far the BEST and most exciting candidate America ever had-but I haven't changed my mind I wish he does not win-again SOME AMERICANS are not ready for him now MAYBE in four years time I cannot help fearing for his safety and his family-The world needs him ALIVE AND WELL in 40 years time-God Bless all of you

[alv1023johsaw]

are some comments blocked?

[alv1023johsaw]

Did you realize that most negroes and muslims in middle-eastern and africa cuntries also vote for this guy. Fortunately they don't have rights to vote for you, same as your case.

[paultherolls]

Articulate is not egotistical. If Bush can be president then Obama certainly deserves a chance. Hillary is a monster : search on YouTube "Bill & Hillary Clinton : Their Secret Life". John Mccain is senile and can't even figure out that Iran is not helping Al Queda. By a process of elimination Obama is the choice. Remember that daddy Bush got his idiot son into the White House. Who says an idiot can't be president.

[jlakeForHillary]

What an egotistical empty suit.

And I thought Bush was in over his head.

[knobrocker]

A really, really, really, really smart guy in the White House. Can you imagine?

OBAMA '08!!

[mahowel]

Obama for US Senate 08

[knobrocker]

A really, really, really, really smart guy in the White House. Can you imagine?

OBAMA '08!!

[ninigreen7]

Mr.Obama is very special...an honest,charismatic,intelligent­,handsome,loyal candidate I do wish him well.But as an admirer I do hope he does not win,because SOME AMERICANS are not ready for the changes he is promoting for his own sake and the sake of his beautiful family...His LAST SPEECH WAS PHENOMENAL,HISTORIC!!

[FalconX2000]

If it were a matter of simply his own ambitions he would not be running now. Common sense would dictate that running in the next election or the one after that would be safer for his career and his livelihood.

America is at a turning point. Either it starts doing things right now or it will be almost impossible to recover to its former stature and prosperity.

If you are a US citizen, vote for him. America needs him as president, he wants the presidency. Let the guards worry about safety.

[fmyfmyfmy]

ninegreen: I am not sure how honest you are with your comment b/c how can u admire someone and hope that he doesn't win? Come on who cares what "some' American believe? u can never satisfy everybody, u can never have everyone on board with u BUT if u have 51% then the majority rules and the other 49% shall agree and go with it... don't loose your hope and I am a true believer of YES WE CAN he is the one who can take us to higher level.... OBAMA 08

[joshholmes86]

@ninigreen7 More Federal raids on Medical Marijuana than ever... How's that "Hope and Change" working out?

[indoctus41]

Obama cannot win because the privileged class will use its propaganda machine to crush him. They need someone they can buy, a Clinton (who has already succumbed once to the HMO's) or a McCain, who welcomes lobbyists.

His policies cut into overblown profits, and this is heretical in America. Meanwhile, the masses will bitch about prices at the pump.

The circus has come to town, and I have a great seat.

[Racer1968]

I'm not saying marijuana is completely benign or for children (unless authorized by a doctor) but if marijuana wasn't relatively safe do you think The American College of Physicians, 124,000 strong, would release a position paper endorsing medical marijuana in Feb 08. To see the paper Google > American College of Physicians Marijuana. If a person continues to believe in "Reefer Madness" propaganda they will never know the real science.

[blawruk]

ya - we have this endless war going on - gas prices on the rise. . . . i could go on - but your focus is on getting high. Ever think of just up and moving to Amsterdam to satisfy your needs?

[Racer1968]

A very narrow minded and uneducated comment. Getting high is not the focus. Treating a medical condition that has not responded to conventional treatment is the focus. There are a number of pharmaceuticals that bring euphoria. How about you imply the users of those medications are only using them to get high. Look, there is always going to be abuse linked with medications that alter ones consciousness but that does not take away the efficacy of that medication.

[hill0118]

I like how Obama takes a pragmatic approach. He doesn't take positions based on ideology so much as practicality, and you can see that in his measured approach to these issues.

[AriaProductionz]

Wow - way to go Oregon guy, uphold that Northwest steriotype! Could you possibly ask the next president of the US any more WEED questions? Good grief! Like his number one concern in office is whether or not Oregon can keep it's weed-laws... *shakes head*

[ymldecker68]

Wow. A candidate who actually thinks before he speaks instead of just replaying memorized lines. GoBama!

[CalebChristian2]

I agree with "techspy"--Barack's honesty is refreshing and he is speaking from an informed position. If people take the time to listen, I think he would do well in every debate he engages in because his goal is not to "win" but to arrive at solutions. Here's hoping Pennsylvania comes through.

[Trashoblanco]

wtf! Let's see McCain talk like this.

[RossM754]

OBAMA 08!!!

[NikoKun]

There is no reason why Medical Marijuana and even Recreational Marijuana, shouldn't be allowed.

It is a drug which is safer than alcohol, and has many incredible medical benefits.

[blawruk]

...but also has its downfalls - smoked marijuana damages the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system. It impairs learning and interferes with memory, perception, and judgment. Smoked marijuana contains cancer-causing compounds and has been implicated in a high percentage of automobile crashes and workplace accidents. But hey - I guess it's ok. . .

[Racer1968]

I'm not saying marijuana is completely benign or for children (unless authorized by a doctor) but if marijuana wasn't relatively safe do you think The American College of Physicians, 124,000 strong, would release a position paper endorsing medical marijuana in Feb 08. To see the paper Google > American College of Physicians Marijuana. Most of your "Reefer Madness" claims are debunked there.

[NikoKun]

blawruk, Marijuana has been proven NOT to cause brain damage, or lung cancer. And there isn't much evidence to support hardly any of those...

[techspy]

I like his honesty....cool...

Go Obama'08!!

[zeyank]

Can't believe those tickets were snapped up so quickly...next time maybe...
