Obama and marijuana: 'POT-US' dope-smoking daze revealed

President Obama wasn't just a marijuana smoker when he was in high school. He was a pot-smoking innovator, according to new biography Barack Obama: The Story, by biographer David Maraniss.

Obama was a member of a group of pot-smoking friends who called themselves the Choom Gang. "Choom" is a Hawaiian word for marijuana. Obama and the Choom Gang rode around in a VW bus called the Choomwagon, which they hot-boxed.

Obama believed in "total absorption," a term he invented. That meant no precious smoke should go to waste. Any person who wasted smoke would be assessed a penalty and miss their next turn when the joint was passed around. When Obama and his friends hot-boxed the Choomwagon, they would do "roof hits," another Obama-ism.

Obama, however, didn't play by all of the rules. He frequently "intercepted," or toked out of turn.

I'm all for legalization but this just makes Obama look a lot worse. Promising his administration wouldn't go after medical marijuana, then doing it anyway. Locking up and ruining the lives of all kinds of Americans for something he did himself? What a hypocrite. (No fan of Romney either.)

More of the truth of this fraud comes out every day. First a law enforcement agency finds his BC and selective service registration to be forged, then his 1991 bio surfaces " born in kenya, raised in Malaysia and Hawaii", now this.

Romney was the lesser evil, even John McCain was.

The American people = STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
