  • good speech

  • Home grown cannabis will improve local economies; while dealing a death blow to the Mexican criminals making tax free money.

  • That question regarding marijuana was the NUMBER ONE voted question. Not "fairly high"... It's disgusting that all those people laugh about it. Putting millions of innocent people in jail every year is not funny. Does he think turning me into a criminal is funny because I smoke pot? Forget you Obama, I wished I never voted for you!!!

  • What a bunch of loosers.

  • The POTUS explained clearly that the Public Option will NOT be subsidized by the Govt. It will raise money through premiums ONLY. So, the argument that Public Option will compete unfairly is FALSE!

    If Private Ins. is as "good" as they claim, they should NOT be chickening away from competing with the Public Option!

  • Swift Boating (Distortion) of H3200 Finally Exposed!!!

    One of the Culprits : The Conservative Group "Liberty Council" of right wing lunatic Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.

    Their Document : H3200 - A Line By Line Analysis.

    It is FULL of LIES and DISTORTIONS, and is the source of laughable claims of Euthanasia, Govt intrusion into Bank Accounts, etc. It is being cut and pasted and distributed among conservatives. That's where they get ALL the FALSE claims that they are RAGING against.

  • "Stephen Hemsley, CEO and president of UnitedHealth Group Inc., earned $3.2 million in 2008, a decline of almost $10 million from what he received a year ago"

    "In 2007, Hemsley received $8.1 million in options and $3.6 million in incentive pay."  - The Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal

  • Private Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) and their Rethugliban puppets are doing everything to maintain their POWER over the American People. HIC want to continue SCAMMING us out of our money and DENYING us CARE! Standing BETWEEN YOU and YOUR Doctor, they deny the doctor's prescription if it is expensive, making sure you get the CHEAPEST pill, NOT the MOST EFFECTIVE! HIC executives have ONLY ONE concern: Pay minimum, maximize profit, get HUGE BONUSES!

    They DON'T CARE whether we DIE as a result.

  • Some of these comments are horrible.

    I feel sorry for Obama.

  • lets ask our fearless leader if he read the bill, if yes,,,then lets ask him to tell us what is on page 16,,,,,i sure chaile gibson would have asked the same of palin.

  • obama youre a socialist....no more like a marxist...no...obama...you're a RACIST bass...with a deep hate for America. You are what's WORST about political power...who the fuck would clap for you but the koolaid drinkers. This whole video makes me sick. YOU ARE DISMISSED.

  • Booooooooo!!!!!!

  • no prescreening of these questions. . . ummmm if you say so, americans, so dumbed down its not even funny

  • What is with the dramatic page flipping??

  • lol its kinda like a grade school project...the way this guy talks

  • Comment removed

  • Obama Science Advisor Called For Planetary Regime To Enforce Totalitarian Population Control Measures

    In 1977 book, John Holdren advocated forced abortions, mass sterilization through food and water supply and mandatory bodily implants to prevent pregnancies

  • Health care bills account for 50% of ALL individual bankruptcies. A BK individual is 68% likely of commiting a crime vs 4% of a non-bankrupt individual.

    Since a criminal's expense to society cannot be easily accounted for (it can easily ascend to millions of $), it might be possible that we end up saving money by having free healthcare by eliminating most BKs and cutting the middle man (insurance companies).

    If u're bk'd getting a job is much harder not to mention renting a place to live.

  • Why do you think you should get anything free. Freedom doesn't even come free.

    BOTH PARTY'S ARE CROOKS I DON'T WANT TO GIVE AT LEAST A TRILLION MORE DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY TO THOSE THIEVES !!!

  • Thank you, babyboomers, for bankrupting the nation. Thank you for not having enough children. And another thank you for enslaving us to pay for your bankrupt retirement. Oh, and sorry to forget to thank you also for giving us a fascist democratatorship.

  • wow so speaks that higher intelligence that voted for BO

  • Obama is to chicken to allow comments on the site where he is running his mouth

  • HR676 Universal Health Care wil CREATE 2.6 Million JOBS ..National Computer Will STOP DRUG OVER DOSES in ALL People Dr will go to Jail !

  • no universal health care will lose many more jobs than it makes it will put a cap on what drug companies there no money for research for new drugs..It will not allow drs to make money so no new drs..It will just like England decide who gets to live and who gets to die..

  • It will stop the growth of technology, it will stop the innovation of those in the medical community because there is no monetary incentive. I hate to tell all you bleeding hearts but money drives innovation and creates incentive. Sounds selfish right? Well the human condition is akin to that very principle which is why, socialist ideas, while good in theory, will never be carried out to any great extent with any great achievement by human beings.

  • Good Question Harriet!!! Very good question!

  • Let me comment the same way that you answered a question that was important to many many people.

    FUCK YOU

  • ObamaObamaObamaObama

  • Is Obama an idiot.  Legalization of marijuana would raise millions and millions in taxes; and create an unbelievable number of jobs. I like Obama, but he doesn't seem to be much better than a republican.

  • Take marijuana out of the subject and you'll notice we have been doing better then we have for a long time

  • only if you are unemployed with our money supporting you

  • Barak Obama is an ELECTED OFFICIAL. A representative of the people! If top questions were about legalization of marijuana no matter his opinion of the subject he has no right to laugh. Prohibition of alcohol ended why can't the same be done for it?

    It sickens me that I voted for him. Change... slight change.

  • that was funny even though the topic is kind of serious.

  • I wonder how they decide on this small group of people as the audience. Who are they and why were they chosen to be here?

  • reply to lizolivit; liz, could you follow what #43 was doing? could anyone... feel good that you are keeping in the know and remeber it will take some time to change the laws back to where they were pre- #43....

  • gotta admit this is certianly a unique experience. Trying to bring in a new level of transparency via the web. I have to say its a very innovative solution on behalf of President Obama's part

  • The Pentagon, which is formed as the center of a pentagram, which Jewish Eliphas Levi identified as a symbol of evil, had its groundbreaking ceremony on 9/11-1941. Exactly 60 years later, the Jewish mass murderer Larry A. Silverstein demolished his buildings.

  • America is now realizing the economic policies of the last ten years or so (deregulation) were not in their best interest. Economic policies that were worse than anything Jimmy Carter's administration did, or inherited.

    While Barak Obama may very well be blamed for the current financial crisis, and it's repercussions, blaming him is like scapegoating the mayor for the towns delinquents.

  • Mc..ah...a fast food place

  • Wow, only 28,000 views.

  • Everyone please stop crying because marijuana isn't going to be legalized. I don't care if "everybody's already doing it". If you're already doing it, then what does it even matter if it's legal or not?

  • Comment removed

  • I was so excited to get the marijuana question answered. I convinced as many people as I could to sign up and vote for the question. I can't believe our top concern was laughed off.

  • ...running for re-election already?

  • ...this is coming from a US president who is addicted to tobacco.

  • not anymore. remember he can't smoke in the white house. i guarantee u he won't smoke on Air Force one.

  • he (at least supposedly) kicked the habit for his kids.

  • Regarding your "answer" to the marijuana question. It was the "online audience" that raised the funds and helped put you in office. Remember that, and I will in 2012.

  • At 51:35 he says "Yo!" haha

  • Marijuana answer at 00:32:06

  • these online town halls are a great idea.

    Not sure I agree that the topic marijuana is laughable. At the very least, it needs to be given more then 30 seconds of discussion. It goes beyond the economy and into the safety of people and the rising dangers of the drug cartels...this topic should be brought up again and taken serious.

  • This format is very encouraging. While the internet was growing over the last 8 years, the government interaction with the public was decreasing just as dramatically. Regardless of your political views, this type of interaction helps the country. Good job! Keep it up.

  • Comment removed

  • I campaigned hard for Obama, yet his response to the war on drug users, grossest domestic civil rights violation is disturbing. It convinces me that we must move back to campaigning for the Green party, which many liberals (who united after Bush, and hopeful that Obama would address civil rights) will do conscientiously; the Democrats will lose a good 3-4% of the votes in short run if they change not.

  • O.K, I have not been commenting a lot because I don't want to stir up a fight, but for me I believe (this is just my opinion) politics is just like any war, only this time, the bullets are your words. Think of it this way, if he were to say "yes" on cannabis, what would the far-right do? Demonise him to the bone, and use every single thing they can do to make him look bad, basically, they become a giant propaganda machine. If he were to say "yes", it would be commiting political suicide.

  • medical marijuana and industrial hemp are serious topics. please look for a a blog post called "your online audience are the ones that raised half a billion dollars to put you in power" and read it if you want to know why many marijuana sympathizers are unhappy with his statement.

  • LoL he almost made another gaffe when he was mentioning putting kids to work right away instead of taking out debt for college. Why don't you send them to Mickey... Fast food restaurants. lmao McDonald's would have thrown a fit.

  • Why isn't the video in HD ?

  • President Obama is going to do this again right? I'm really hoping this becomes a regular thing.

  • Wow.

    I've never smoked Marijuana in my life but I know full well that it should never have been made illegal and that legalizing it would do nothing but good.

    It literally sounds like he did absolutely no research on the subject.

    Almost the #1 concern and he did NO research.

    That's very scary stuff.

  • The online audience?

    What is this the Obama show?

    The "online audience" is the American people Mr. Obama.

    This isn't 1996.

    Everybody & their grandmother has access to the Internet now.

    Is it really possible that he's that clueless about the Internet and Marijuana?

    Standing there giggling with the others like the question was voted on by a bunch of potheads who just want their weed legalized.

    He seems to have NO CLUE about the massive damage caused by Marijuana prohibition.

    .

  • Skip to 32:30 for the marijuana question, in

    short he mocks the question and insults the online community.(the same community that voted for him)

  • Although I don't support it's use, I disagree with his conclusion. Everyone is already using it, why not make money off it to fix things in the economy? Seems like a pretty simple and obvious solution.

  • Bull shiet.

  • 100,000 questions, and no prescreening? Yet at least 5 of the 6 questions were from Obama campaign supporters. In a way, I expected no less. Yet I wait anxiously for Him to open the White House and create this transparent Government he has been apparently lying to the nation about.

  • you capitalized "Him" as if he were a deity.

  • your online audience are the ones that raised half a billion dollars to put you in power

  • how come my cogent protest against obama's statements are getting censored? the moderator on youtube keeps marking my comments as spam immediately after i post. this is undemocratic! "show" the "spam" comments to see my post that is apparently censor-worthy

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Common people, it is going to take time to legalize Maryjane, you know why cause most leaders of this country are afraid of protesters against legalization of pot, and believe me their are still a lot of ignorant people out their who thinks that pot is the devils drug.. so quit blaming just the President, you should start blaming the local church, like maybe one of those born again places...and also blame yourselves for not campaigning hard enough to legalize the herb. all for now...

  • Way to make fun of your online supporters Obama. That's low.

    Everyone in that room is a tool. Just nod your heads, smile, and clap.

  • Blackhalo325....did you ever think we would be watching a real WAXED fruit-basket of a man.. making such a FOOL of himself!!...I hope he fears the PRESS so much now he starts ACTUALLY WORKING and READING his ~~spend-YOU-less paper work and budget and e-mails and realizes he is now TOAST and has to finish this Presidential appointment while being looked upon as a FRAUD! and his ~~" lying by ommission" is not working to well for HIM!.....I guess he really is : PUNCH-DRUNK! like the host asked him

  • These comments are horrible.

  • you should stop giving weekly address mr. Obama especially when you think everyone online are crackheads, i see no point in addressing us anymore. you disappoint me mr. obama i still do believe you were the right choice then McCain but what you did was not cool you're a punk for that mr. obama.

  • Allegrissimo...can you not WAIT till Omamas little goob-gibbs has ta DO another press conferance!.......and of course it will be :........ah....ah.....er.....e­rrr...ahh er..........and then he will BLAME THE VICTIMS! ~~once again for any and all stupidity of these dunces who voted for this shape~~shifter. and then bring up President Bush and other assorted minions of the Dims & then people who happen to be conservatives and anyone else but THEM!.......Obama Administration so far: - OH! CRAP!

  • way to dis the stoners,dude! stuff yer townhalls! they are worthless ,if you are just going to laugh about those participating. i no longer support you or your agenda.

  • stop prosecuting people for pot !

  • Marijuana should be legalized and it would stop much unessisary violence and spending. It seems propaganda has gotton to Mr. Obama too.

  • lol look at all the idiots in the background.

  • Lack of education = total fucking idiot.

    Stfu.

  • I love how he uses this risk-free platform to push his agenda

  • prk1127! ...."this guy is WAXED"....was my favorite statement that I read SO FAR in describing this FRAUD online PLANTED PEOPLE "meeting"...Obama & his commie-kooks asked his PEEPS who gave him $money$ and were DNC groupies and CON-vasers...& money donars to THIS BOMB-AA MEETING & ONLY CALLED ON THEM!...now this goob has EGG~on HIS FACE! its just like his SCAM-PAIN! a whole lotta WORDS & no substance!..who voted for this ~shape~shifter?...ignorant people who wanted the FREE LUNCH he was SERVIN!

  • WRYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • Comment removed

  • what a joke Open for Questions revealed itself to be with Obama 's refusal to address the #1 question !!  FRAUD

  • ALL the people there are Obama supporters.

    You can check out the story online.

    GOOGLE: "Obama Town Hall Questioners Were Campaign Backers"

  • "Our schools are under resourced" if only private and state funded schools existed tuition prices would drop and many parents who would send their children to private schools could. State and local funded schools would have less students thus improving.

  • owchywawa i ask you to be realistic I mean the methods you speak of have worked , but the last time the method worked was under the ragon adminastration . this meathod is even more unlikly to work since pres bush let the pay as you go law expire in 2002 .

  • I hope that Obama keeps doing these town hall meetings and post them on YouTube! This is great!! :D

  • Funny how the WaPo article didn't mention anything about the questions being staged,or the actual questions asked, just that they were donors, big whoop. Were they to run a background check on everyone who was to be in the town hall and make sure they were staunch Republicans, only ever contributing to Republican candidates?

    Get real.

  • Obama disappoints at 32:20

  • ...Glen Beck JUST had the information given to him...that the peeps who were ~~protesting~ in front of AIG were people who were an oversite commitee??? or company who WANT MORE GOVERNMENT workers and illegal aliens! to be able to STAY and be hired and VOTE!.....and they all DONATED to the Obama scam-pain.............gee I never would a guessed!!..........

  • Obama rocks. :)

  • He didn't answer the marijuana question very well. If that was legalized, we will have safer streets and a better economy.

  • shhh...the professor is speaking. If you don't agree with him or kiss his ass, he'll call you stupid and kick you out of the class.

  • Re: the black lady dressed in black, behind the poduium/obma. I believe her name is Shaquanaiki. You can hear the "ummm hmmm" with the sound off. You can also tell, she's straining from moving her head side to side.

  • WOW how is this video like an hour and 13 mins??!!?! Its very good quality too!

  • I know that I had asked 5 questions that I would have loved to seen answered - even just one of the questions. :)

  • I am glad I persevered through the buffering and was able to hear your answers though. At least the questions asked weren't so contoured by the media and seemed to be reflective of what many folks do have on their minds.

    Q: Would you perhaps answer individually some of the other questions asked by your constituents that you weren't able to get to; or, are you planning to answer more online in this video format sooner or later???

  • Washington Post blog says

    the questioners were plants

    Obama Town Hall Questioners Were Campaign Backers

    tinyurldotcom/cgkh94

  • I certainly don't have any connections with the media; just a nearly 50 yo woman that is concerned about current state of affairs. Definitely desiring some answers --and, better yet, action! I feel like we've seen more action out of Obama in these first few months of office than, perhaps any other President (at least in our lifetimes). Hoping that it isn't just a surge of energy that will waiver down. Would like to see a President finally be a Pres of his word - perhaps that will be him. :D

  • I would love it if Obama kept his word. I'm a skeptic, though.

  • What is a blog?

  • google it !!!! Iris......(the word) or ASK a Republican for some ACTUAL FACTS! and commmon SENSE!~~

  • I have plenty of sense while you don't. You don't realize I wasn't asking you. Now stop being juvenile.

  • Since you speak for others, you can give me a definition of blog as you define it, because as I define it, "blog" does not mean "truth". Blog means "spin" and can reflect its writer's bias. What do your comments reflect? Why are you here?

  • eksdem......someone commented BEST when they said ...."THIS GUY IS WAXED"......!!!!!! ... then .......he was on that interview and the jounalist/host asked "are you PUNCH-DRUNK"???? because Omama (with his glazed over-dolls-eyes)...couldn't stop grinnin and laughin, gigglin and smirkin.......a friend was over and said:.. HE LOOKS WASTED!....or drugged!........and the more I look at Him and Gibbs and that Rambo......its like seeing STUFFED step-ford wives:::.....somethings WRONG~

  • Obama's laughing on 60 minutes reminds me of a two year old laughing while pulling a cat's tail.

    You are right...something is wrong.

  • ...did you see Newt Gingrich...telling the WORLD that Obama is working to GRAB all the ~~power~~ over EVERYTHING(banks, money, medicine, businesses, boarders=OPENING THEM!..ect.)...and that he seems to be ~~~hurrying~~ before to many people LOCK and LOAD and get READY-to-RUMBLE with this commie-corp-of-KOOKS!

  • ..and now Gearge Soros kid sits on the board of YouTube!........thats the ~~rumor~~ is this all innterconnected~~somehow????? sigh

  • ...here's a QUESTION that Obama will never ANSWER...."why do you NOT stay in the actual Oval Office and GET TO WORK?...little things like READING the ENTIRE - - - - line-by-line - - - - - Document that was 1100+ pages of spending that is almost ALL UNNECESSARY!....this would be something you should have then VETOED! cause you would a KNOWN - what the heck you SIGNED hidden in a darkened room.....If you had been in a LIGHTED area and actually READING & reporting this monstrous mess as : WRONG!

  • He said he'd go line by line on the budget dumbass, not the stimulus.

  • nor the omnibus

  • OOOOaaaahh!...YAH yer goob of a illegal Presidente'.....has not done ANYTHING he ~promised~ except turn America into a : DICTATORSHIP grab.....he is SET to take over the banks and health care and guns and money~~~ so nice to KNOW he is even MORE of an IDIOT and allowed America with Pelosi at the throttle of the ~~~RUN-AWAY-TRAIN!~~~ named: PORKIE-VILLE CHOO-CHOO!!!...and did not even LOOK at EITHER the "stimulus OR the budget"....its A FREAK SHOW now and you have no shame just want somethin FREE

  • "He said he'd go line by line on the budget dumbass, not the stimulus."

    The stimulus is part of the budget...

  • You clearly don't understand what a budget it.

  • "You clearly don't understand what a budget it."

    Stop using answerless answers:

    " a statement of the financial position of an administration for a definite period of time based on estimates of expenditures during the period and proposals for financing them b: a plan for the coordination of resources and expenditures c: the amount of money that is available for, required for, or assigned to a particular purpose"

  • Byebye dollar! No doubt I will be criticized to no end because I say dems and reps are are two different sides of the same coin, but I have all debts paid off and a years supply of food and nutrients stored up. When things really start to go rotten in this country, those who listened to sources outside the government and media will be fine. Things will get so bad it won't even be fun to say I told you so.

  • carlos is stoned. <3

  • owchywawa tax cuts are bad know becuse there are two times where taxes is increased

    1)war

    2)bad economic times like we see toaday

    ps)bush was economicly challenged

  • "owchywawa tax cuts are bad know becuse there are two times where taxes is increased

    1)war

    2)bad economic times like we see toaday"

    Not if you cut taxes along with cutting spending. Do you realize how much money we would get if Obama gave 3.2 trillion dollars evenly to the people in tax cuts? That's like $10,000 each! Compare that to congresses little pet projects such as tattoo removal!

    How is raising taxes supposed to help the economy?

  • "compare that to congresses little pet projects such as tattoo removal!"

    You don't even know what the project that you speak of does, maybe you should actually do some research before you attack it. It isn't simply "tattoo removal", look it up, if you know how, and find out what it really is.

    You're just an idiot who doesn't understand politics or economics, so enjoy being an idiot.

  • It's a small local CA program for tattoo removal? This simply is not in the federal governments purview. We need a freeze on spending.

  • "a little reporting reveals that that this "tattoo removal" program is an anti-crime program in the San Fernando Valley that re-integrates reformed gang members and makes it easier for them to find jobs. Two Los Angeles law enforcement officials I just spoke to - one who identified himself as a "conservative Republican" - swore by the program for reducing crime and saving lives." source- MMFA

  • This is something I believe the government has no business in to begin. To true reduce crime we must eliminate federal drug laws. Gangs are illegal drug corporations with a hierarchy-and its their business that we are fighting. Its only a true society that allows all substances-this being said I am a realist and think this should be left to the states.

    These people that have gang tattoos made that choice, as they made the choice to be in a gang, instead of public education and minimum wage.

  • OBAMA passed new law to allow searching of PC's, Laptops, and media devices.

    THAT'S PROOF THAT THEY'RE BYPASSING DEMOCRACY!!

  • what a brilliant concept. kudos...

  • is he reading from the screen LOL

  • what's so lol?

  • Sweetheart I love your policies and I think you're an inspiration and hope for us all, but your response to marijuana legalization was very offensive. I do not think it is a laughing matter in the way that healthcare or causes close to your heart are a laughing matter.

    Maybe I'm just being oversensitive, but it hurt when I read the transcript. This is indeed a big deal.

  • Oh no Breezyvibe is right... please, if you start believing your own s**t like Alex Jones et al, then you have more problems than US sovereignty in the wake of some NWO. Anyway most of those conspiracies and/or organisations you list run incongruously to each other so figure that one out - Bilderberg Group are responsible for the Holocaust yet are in leagues with the Agents of Rothschilds... for what ends - just to make people like you spin out and wear tinfoil hats - plausible?

  • Obviously the woman in the brown suit smiling is in love and infatuated with President Obama. Ha!

  • 66% approval rating. Enough said.

  • after this town hall and the way he dissed the stoners, those numbers are going down.

  • because stoners really vote

  • this one does. apparently i made a mistake. this guy's the joke.

  • I am absolutely shocked by the comments on this video. The man has only been in office less than 100 days. Let him get his points out before you judge.

  • i love president obama so much, but for some reason i feel he is running for his 2nd term presidency

  • There is no real fight between republicans and democrats. United States presidents are puppets of the Global Elite. Our government is a SHAM!!

  • breezyvibe I couldn't have said it better... glad to see your post!!!

    Our government is a sham! The Federal Government is unconstitional and illegal

    the office of the president is for puppets only

  • Did you just say Holocaust was an inside job? You are the problem, not that group.

  • omg how far into the video must i go to get past the bullshit bumpersticker talking points which mean nothing?

    I laughed out loud when Iran said "You're a bunch of talk, Barack" talk about hitting the nail on the head

  • I wish he would have been more serious on marijuana legalization. There are real debates going on about how this can help or hurt the country. This may be a good idea, I don't know, but I'd like Mr. Obama to address it, and observe it as an equally genuine idea compared to the others.

  • Oh, like people in the audience who smoke pot never laugh when they hear a reference to it.

  • If you think the President of the United States are gonna advocate legalisation of marijuana you`re pretty naive. That`s not gonna happen. It would be political suicide! The right-wingers would jumped right on it and screwed the whole democratic party! It`s important to secure Obama a second term. We dont need any more conservatives in the white house for a while. Obama`s a breath of fresh air and my god we need it after 8 long hard dark years of Bush/Cheney!

  • Why so? Roosevelt legalized alcohol, he was fine.

  • online town hall, is a good idea.

  • Finally a president that for the most part, speaks to us like adults.

    I agree he shouldn't have glossed over the marijuana question given how things are currently in Mexico but it's kinda a separate issue from raising money. If that question were rephrased to be about say, homeland security, I would hope that he'd give a serious answer.

  • ok the marijuana joking was not cool. we have a foolish, dangerous, and impractical drug policy. it's an important issue and shouldn't be laughed off. it's driving the violence to the south the same way Prohibition fueled mafia violence.

  • go obama

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't know about this. I tried to get into O.C. last week. CHECK MY SITE. I wanted to talk to him about a memory chip that could help alout of people like with alzheimer's, people with brain damage, or me with a seizure condition. Maybe they can put money into that. For the article, Google - popular science the memory hacker

  • obama was wrong to laugh about the marijuana question because a lot of people are hurting due to the silly laws against a harmless plant

  • Ok so the cannabis issue is special interest and should get a sophmoric snicker and flippant disregard of the will of the people.

    So let's move on quickly to toxic assetts that are iou's on real estate that may or may not be developed to it's best efficiciency.

    We the people now own the paper on a couple levels so let's WPA the properties and redevelop with top end LEED technologies ie. ICF gray h2o xeriscaping etc.

    This is also slow pitch down the middle of the plate for the people,hit it

  • I can't believe how incredibly flippant he was about the drug war. If he was unlucky back in high school and got arrested, there is no way he would where he is today. How can someone so intelligent be so oblivious to how disastrous this prohibition has been to America?
