Magician Penn Jillette, of Penn & Teller, is angry at President Obama. He let the world know it during his podcast this past weekend. The rant was sparked after he and co-host, Michael Goudeau, pointed out the hypocrisy of a marijuana mention in Obama's 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance".

In the memoir, Obama writes of his marijuana usage and adds "maybe a little blow," which set Penn off. "If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time," the magician says.

Although Penn himself has never tried marijuana or had a drink in his life, he stands up for pot smokers everywhere by calling out the government's marijuana policy on absolutely hypocritical and ludicrous.

Prisons are a FOR PROFIT business....

[JarfJam]

They absolutely should. The whole thing is a farce! There is no reason for cannabis to be illegal other than protecting profit margins.

[Philip Russo]

They shouldnt be incarcerated in the first place

[hellomynameissL1m]

Set free

[Max Power]

SET MY PEOPLE FREE!!!

[jamielynnfox]

Exonerate prisoners on all marijuana charges and decriminalize marijuana in the USA! Go Penn Jillette!

Seriously..............how f@#%ing high are you two?

I just finished watching this and now I THINK I AM HIGH!

[Skruffy Lockher]

Penn is right, but one thing about it is that under certain circumstances should this be a policy.

[madgrinchhatter]

I love how accurate Penn is, yet Teller looks nothing like Teller

[SandwichSamurai1492]

Weird depicting Penn as a various assortment of biblical figures, since he's an Atheist.

[William Farnsworth]

If only it was that simple. Very few people are in jail for a marijuana offence ONLY. Whatever happens, the current drug laws need to change to allow people to be free to use marijuana just like tthe laws allow people (ie respnsible adults) to use alcohol or tobacco. End of
