Obama on Legalizing Pot, Prostitution to 'Stimulate' Economy

[lolfuxyeah]

LOL love that kid who asked that question.

[gotohellaaron]

maybe Obama is just kind of an asshole, didnt he even say he smoked pot before? he also wants or already made some sort of "fat tax", whatever that is, i'm short and i have to be fat or else people will think i'm a homosexual or something, good thing i'm not American

[dacaptain84]

Can legalizing pot stimulate our economy...well the gov. could regulate it and tax it. Law enforcement could stop spending money on it and focus on other things, organized crime would take a hit because it legal now, people with green thumbs could grow it, and.....im not seeing how it would hurt our economy?

[teedonster2]

@dacaptain84 it wouldnt hut the economy, it would hurt the picket of the rich, like those who profit from private prisons.

im in favor of ending the drug war completely. freedom is freedom at the end of the day

[b3achch1ck96]

LOLOLOL legalizing prostitution and marijuana hahah i'd be laughing too at such an incredibly stupid question. it would only bring problems. prostitution is for guys that are sooo fucking ugly they cnt get a girl. and weed is just for the insecure wannabe cool kids. k? k.

[fapayal]

@b3achch1ck96 you don't know shit

[b3achch1ck96]

@fapayal you probably pay for sex. how sad. get a life bro. or you probably do weed. you're cool?

[tititgoreng]

@b3achch1ck96 shyat up, u dont kno shit.

[b3achch1ck96]

@tititgoreng i'll shyat up when you learn shit.

[bergjo1]

@b3achch1ck96 You're 15 so shut up and learn how to spell. When you grow older you'll learn economic principles and you might understand that legalizing these types of things (eg. prostitution and marijuana) would improve the economy significantly. This is because people are going to do it no matter what, and then you might tax it to bring in revenue to the state. Too bad Obama is too much of a people pleaser who won't take these kinds of questions seriously. RON PAUL 2012!!

[Paperbagman555]

Jesus christ what a crappy response. Give your opinion or don't be fucking president. As much as i loath Hitler, at least he restored Germany. Seriously we need non-racist politicians with similar policies, or even someone like Churchill.

[awesome9001]

i'm pro legalizing marijuana. but not prostitution. because it spreads around stds. if you disagree. please correct me. but im not very informed about prostitution.

[MKiller5]

@awesome9001 Legalizing Prostitution will lower the amount of sex slaves in the country by alot, and about std's? lol, that's not the problem, if you wanna go to a prostitute, you go to a prostitute whether it's legal or not.. And std's can be avoided by wearing protection you know.. And I really can't see other negative reasons about it (:

It's legal in many countries here in Europe,

[Lordscare18]

Multisunshine I agree 100%

[liljSCK]

Way to beat around the bush, Obama.



[awesome9001]

@liljSCK HA! nice.

[KyoshoCrew]

I feel the blood starts boiling in my veins when they start laughing it up. A well formulated and legit question.

If i were that guy (stupid i know, but still) i would ask "Do you even know why you are laughing? No disrespect, but be honest with your self, can't you see your a sheep in a herd? You don't know why your laughing".

It would be quiet.

[senselessstudios]

DOHOHOHOHO SCOFF SCOFF WHAT A SILLY IDEA

[bucketwarfite]

LOOK AT THAT FAT BITCH. she jiggled when she laughed :O @.57

[arasn10]

the kid is actually my friend, he went to my high school in Tamaqua, fucking hilarious

[Ddstairclimber]

dont deflect the question, there compelling reasons to legalize those things. the student had the balls to ask, and obama doesn't have the balls to answer it. Where is the frigging change he talked about??? this is fucking change

[stephenchopsscott]

why does everyone start laughing at the notion of legalizing drugs its not that ludacris of an idea brainwashed fuckers

[BrettDixonMusic]

Obama is a piece of fucking trash.

[skullface405420]

WHY WAS THIS PERSON PICKED FIRST, WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE HE HAD HIS LINE MEMORIZED PROSTITUION IS WRONG WEED IS NOT FOCUS ON ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME WEED WOULD SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS POINT OF THE MATTER IS ME AND LOT PEOPLE BELIVE THIS WAS STAGED AND PART OF ILLUMINATI IN FACT THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE AMERICAN PUBLIC LOOK DUMB FUCK THEM DONT VOTE FOR ANY POLITICIAN OR GOVERNMENT UNTIL THE FACT THAT MARIJUANA IS GREAT AN THE ONLY BAD THINK ABOUT IT IS THE PUNISHMENT THAT FOLLOWS IT BY THE GOVN,LEGALIZE!

[987bowen]

he was to high on marijane to answer the question:)

[BrettDixonMusic]

@democratsaresmart Wow. Your username basically somes up your intelligence level. You didn't even need to post that ignorant comment for the world to know that you are fucking braindead sheep.

If you have a problem with weed because of the children, then there is one solution: PARENT. That's right. Oh wait, you are too much of a dumb cunt to even know how to parent.

[mynameissang]

If he says "it will be my strategy," people will flame him for being a pothead and manwhore, and that he needs to quit.

If he says "it will not be my strategy," people will flame him for not answering the question elaborately, especially in an environment where the question was obviously not taken seriously by a single person present at the speech, including the questioner himself (you can hear him losing it near the end).

Gotta love this American public.

[StraightOuttaDC]

This shit is why no politician can be trusted.

These dickheads want to act as if they're taking some moral fuckin' high road, but everyone knows that these cocksuckers are on Penn. Ave snorting all kinds of shit and smoking god knows what.

Fuck capitol hill.

[MarijuanaMuscle]

O'bummer is a cunt.

[MolecularHeinosity]

Obama has a huge penis at 0:35

[stumpythedestoyer]

@MolecularHeinosity hahhahaha that is the funniest thing ever hahahahhaa

[MultiSunshine9]

stupid kid asking a stupid question. he could of worded it much differently and made an impact

[Twister067]

of course!!! how could we all be so stupid!!! we are never going to get a straight answer out of the president...This one anyway...

[santacruz831X4]

at 35 it looks lik obamas has a long dick

[sonyym]

In a previous interview, on the legalization of marijuana, Obama again laughed off the question and then saying "No, I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy."

But he never said why... grrr

[prestonbtate]

He really put that question wrong.

[Vallence172]

obama sounds like he's on the bong himself. that kid probably killed his high.

[wmhenderson2006]

Obama is being such an asshole here.

[MrBclary6]

Contrary to popular belief ,prostitution is not legal in vegas...its merely not inforced as much as other states. And why does everyone always laugh off them questions...? The us will legalize weed once all the oil is gone.until then they make too much money to look at other forms of fuel

[CapZ13]

lmao @ the crowd barley clapping @ 1:04 , I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S REALLY UP ^_^

[JoeFGale]

thst kid should have been summarly executed on the spot

[CJbass420]

@JoeFGale yeah because if he did, he could have went on for hours about the failures of prohibition.

[jdrw1987]

This motherfuc*er better not get elected a 2nd term.

we now know the truth. lets not play these bs games in 2012.

Cynthia McKinney/Ralph Nader will do.

peace.

[ECE908]

legalize it, bitches.

[XMCRemilyX]

Legalizing weed... Haha(:

Prostitution? Uhmm I have no opinion on that. People should be able to do it if they want to. Not much wrong with it, unless they are being forced into it.

[otopico]

People should note that had this been the previous president, our good student there would probably had been arrested or mocked. Sure Obama didn't answer the question, aside from his 'not my plan' remark, but look at this for what it was, an American President talking to a citizen. Nothing more, nothing less, well, nothing unless you are a conspiracy 'enthusiast'.

[HeWhoPawns]

Answer the fuckin question, Obama.

[jdrw1987]

he can't.

puppetmasters won't let him.

plus he's a douche.

[IloveCupcakesandTea]

@HeWhoPawns THE FUCKING ANSWER IS NO!

[Ddstairclimber]

@IloveCupcakesandTea  Obama did not legitimately answer the question.

[IloveCupcakesandTea]

@Ddstairclimber donsent matter because everyone allready knows the answer maybe for medical reasons h will think about it but otherwise there is no reason for it and even if he does agree to this ludacris request he wont have the last answer if he does say yes there will be lots of other people who have to judge weather to agree or disagree an didk why most of these idots are soo hyped up about this it will only be legan for the ones who need it not the ones who just wanna have a good time.

[JackStrawGD]

@IloveCupcakesandTea sounds like you need some more cupcakes eh!

[PooPoo2U]

@IloveCupcakesandTea: no reason for it? what about the obvious fact that

A: it's less harmful than things we're allowed like alcohol and tobacco.

B: it would generate massive revenue, which i'm sure you'd agree we need.

C: it would help decrease the prison population, another huge population.

D: it would prevent pot-smoking hippies from going into prison as peaceful people and coming out as heroin-addicted psychopaths.

E: it would help take money from gangs.

[The7legacy]

Hey@HeWhoPawns

He can't answer the question because there is no answer to the question.

Pot, Prostitution, Gambling to 'Stimulate the Economy has been going on for years.

It's impossible to stop it now because now, it's a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.

[Tannerwhatnow]

@The7legacy Who said anything about stopping it???

[The7legacy]

@Tannerwhatnow

I didn't mean stopping it. I'm saying, he can't answer the question because there is no answer to the question. Pot should have been legalized years ago.

[b3achch1ck96]

@HeWhoPawns why dont you go say that to his face bitch

[CatrachoS0yY0]

What a shitty response. Why can't he elaborate on why he isn't considering to legalize at least marijuana and prostitution? He mocks the student as questioning "Wisdom" when he himself cannot elaborate on even minor reasons of why he believes it's a bad idea.

[20bball10]

@CatrachoS0yY0 because it was a dumbass question

[CJbass420]

@20bball10 no its not at all, the illegalization is making things, worse, first off, weed is not a big deal at all and has no reason to be illegal, secondly no one deserves jailtime for any durg, even the bad ones, they need help not punishment, thirdly what right do you have to tell people they cant pay for sex? they know the risks, most of them cant ever get laid without a hooker anyways, plus if legalzied like it is in nevada we do std test on all hookers and johns, to prevent their spread.

[20bball10]

@CJbass420 legalize none violent crime. burglary is now legal, theft is now legal, meaning yu walk out and find your car is not in your driveway, the cops cant do shit. which is pretty much how it is now but still atleast they come out now.

[CJbass420]

@20bball10 no theifs are very likely to hurt someone if they get in the way of their theft, plus theft is hurting people because if your car is stolen you cant get to work and will loose your job, then your house and then you'll become the theif. smoking weed hurts no one, and it barely even hurts yourself. theft is very violent. the only real crimes are theft, murder and rape.

[LannaSmith]

@CatrachoS0yY0 No, he isn't mocking the student for questioning his "Wisdom". He's commending the student for doing "exactly what he should be doing"; questioning conventional wisdom - the point of the term "conventional" being that often the majority's point of view is unsubstantiated or untrue though widely propagated.

[nubbs]

plenty of mainstream conservatives also advocate legalizing drugs and prostitution

people are always going to use and girls are always going to go into prostitution. legalization would just make it safer for everyone

[monalisasmiles4you]

"Girls are always going to go into prostitution"?!?!?!!? Do you know how offensive that statement is?! Most prostitutes in this country and throughout the world are forced into prostitution because of their socioeconomic position. Many children in poorer countries are forced into prostitution because they are poor.

[nubbs]

fact - girls are always going to go into prostitution.

fact - girls have always gone into prostitution

fact - prostitution exists in every society, ever

either you protect them or you do dont. clearly you dont want to protect them. you'd rather they just starved or died.

and plenty of high end calls girls go very willingly into the trade. your so condescending towards the sex trade. how dare you judge the millions who willingly participate in the trade

get off you high horse

[CJbass420]

@nubbs yeah the only hookers that dont wanna be hookers are the ones on street corners, they do it to feed their drug addiction.

[BrettDixonMusic]

@monalisasmiles4you Who cares if it's offensive. I'd rather hear the TRUTH. If the fucking truth is offensive, then so be it. It's better than being bent over and fucked in the ass relentlessly by the government with all of their fucking bullshit lies.

[voyeurdug]

Decriminalization SHOULD be an acceptable compromise. Believe many people would oppose legalization of anything now illegal on the grounds that it would just move everything that's considered worse up a notch. "Slippery slope" and all that, doncha know.

[cowpacino]

Why?

[monalisasmiles4you]

Why not??

[monalisasmiles4you]

What are you asking? Why pot? Or why is prostitution crossing the line?

[cowpacino]

Why is prostitution crossing the line? They have it in places like Las Vegas and Amsterdam and it doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls or the state. It might be behavior that you don't like personally, but what's really wrong with it?
